You are not responsible to any nation, to any church, to any God. You are responsible only for one thing, and that is self-knowledge. And the miracle is, if you can fulfill this responsibility, you will be able to fulfill many other responsibilities without any effort. The moment you come to your own being your own divinity, a revolution happens in your vision. Your whole outlook about life goes through a radical change. You start feeling new responsibilities—not as something to be done, not as duty to be fulfilled, but as a joy to do, then Peace will happen ...

PEACE

Not WAR

 War and Peace
 
"A person who himself is eager for war does not care to see whether the opponent is eager to fight or not. A person who is eager for war is blind. He never looks at the enemy, he only projects the enemy. He doesn’t want to look at the enemy; in fact, whomsoever he meets is an enemy for him. He doesn’t need to see the enemy; he creates, he projects the enemy.
 
When a battle is raging within, enemies appear on the outside. Only when there is no war going on within does one feel the need to investigate who is anxious and ready to have a fight. So Arjuna asks Krishna to place his chariot at the strategic point from where he can see those who have assembled there, eager to fight.
 
Secondly, the first rule of war is to know well the enemy one is going to fight. In all wars, in all wars in life - inner or outer - identifying the enemy, understanding the enemy is the first rule. Only those who know, who understand the enemy well, win wars.
 
That is why the warmonger is not able to win wars. He is so surrounded by the smoke of his own desire for war that it becomes difficult for him to know the enemy. His eagerness to fight a war is so great that it becomes difficult for him to know and understand the enemy he is fighting against. And if you don’t know whom you are fighting against, then your defeat is sealed from the very beginning.
 
Therefore the calm and composure needed in time of war in order to win that war is more than is needed at any other time. The capacity of witnessing, required in time of war in order to win that war, is greater than in any other situation. Arjuna is saying: "Now let me see, now let me observe from the state of a witness those who have come to fight."
This needs to be understood.
Observation is at its minimum when you are angry."

Fire! fire!
All I see around is fire!
Destruction, is the price we have to pay
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood, in search for justice
And truth
 
Onwards!
I see children marching onwards!
Chaos, is the order of the day
My father's sins running through my veins
The spirit's zeal are forever locked in chains
 
Tombstones!
Everywhere, I see tombstones!
Mothers, pay the most precious coin of all
You and I might cease to exist
But until then there'll be always war and peace!
 
Time to change-Time to cast the devil out! ...

The Path of Self Ascension is paved with
Peace, Love and Joy.
 
Peace + Love = Joy
 
Peace KNOWS God
 
Love CONNECTS with God
 
Joy EMBRACES God
 
May you be Joyful Forever! 
 
John
