You Could Achieve Global Peace Through Mysticism
Talk: Sant Rajinder Singh

Everyone wants peace. People want peace in the world in their country , their city and in their home. Mostly , they want peace within their own selves. How can we achieve this universal dream? The world has seen numerous conferences, peace marches, and conventions for peace.What can we do about this so that we can build a peaceful world?
I believe that we can have global peace through mysticism which is the study of our own inner mystic self. It is the path of discovering who we are, why we are here, life after death ... It is the science of uncovering the greatest mysteries of the universe God and our soul. Building a peaceful world begins with the first foundation stone our own selves. We must first find peace ourselves through mysticism to attain global peace.What can a single individual do for world peace by attaining personal inner peace? Let me tell you a story. A man was walking along the beach and he spotted a second man from afar picking something up, twirling it around, and tossing it in the water. The second man kept repeating these movements, so the first man was curious, he approached him and asked, “What are you doing?“ The second man called back, “I am throwing the starfish back into the ocean. If I do not do this, they will die on the shore.“
Scanning the beach, the first man said, “But there are thou sands of starfish on the beach. What difference can you possibly make?“ Without the least hesitation the second man picked up another starfish, threw it back in the water, and said, “It made a difference for that one!“ We too can make a difference for all humanity and for posterity by the actions we choose to take. Let us begin with our own transformation and pursuit of peace. If you find inner peace and i find inner peace and the person on our right finds inner peace and the person on our left finds inner peace, then one by one, brick by brick, we will have built a world whose principles rest on peace.
Nobody wants to be told what to do by someone else.We resist when someone tries to make us do something in a new way . Knowing this, we persist in trying to change others. We try to change our spouse, our children and our relations. We propose that everyone else in our community be peaceful. We want to make all other cities and countries peaceful. Just as we do not want anyone criticising or changing us, so do other people dislike being changed. All the efforts in the world will not make others peaceful. All we can do is work on ourselves.
When we find that a new product, service, or technique is benefiting someone else, we ourselves feel motivated to try it. Similarly , if we find peace ourselves, our life will be transformed and others will be curious as to why we are experiencing such joy and happiness in our life. They themselves will want to learn how we achieved it. Example is one of the greatest teachers. Therefore, let us light the lamp of peace in our own hearts and shed that luminosity on all we meet.
