Now you know the
program. If you transform yourself into a peacemaker, you won’t become an activist marching in the streets. You will not be "anti" anything. No money is required. All you are asked to do is to go within and dedicate yourself to peace.
It just might work.
Even if you don’t immediately see a decline in violence around the world, you will know in your heart that you have dedicated your own life to peace.
But the single best reason to become a peacemaker is that every other approach has failed.
We don’t know what number the critical mass is--the best we can hope is to bring about change by personal transformation. Isn’t it worth a few moments of your day to end 30 wars around the world and perhaps every future war that is certain to break out?
"War is like cancer: it will only get worse if we don’t prevent it and heal it."Deepak Chopra
Right now there are 21.3 million soldiers serving in armies around the world. Can’t we recruit a peace brigade ten times larger?
A hundred times larger?
The effort begins now, with you.
"
It is an illusion to think that military strength and weapons create security. Security and peace can only be obtained by those who are peaceful and defenseless."
Deepak Chopra MD
