TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

If God has made patience the secret of success in this world of His, you cannot attain success through impatience. and strife. If God wants us to get ahead in life by acknowledging our mistakes, you cannot advance by trying to prove others to be criminals and yourself to be faultless. If God has established a rule that if you want to pluck a rose, you can do so only if you steer clear of the thorns, you won’t be able to obtain the rose if you start fighting against each thorn that you come across. This world is a place for us to be tested. This is why every human being has been given the gift of free will. But this freedom is of action alone, and not that of obtaining results or the fruits of our actions. Undoubtedly, we are free to do whatever we like to, but we have not been given the power to acquire the results that we seek. One is free to choose whether to dive into the sea or not, but the one who does not know how to swim, does not have the power to stop himself from drowning. One should remember that this world is merciless when it comes to accepting useless excuses, no matter how beautifully one might seek to embellish them. The fact of the matter is that we do not live in a world of our own making. Instead, this world has been made by God. We can obtain what we seek only if we live in accordance with the principles that God has put into place that govern the universe. If we deviate from these principles, we cannot get anything positive at all. The devastating results of the merciless violence engaged in by terrorists is ample proof of this fact. o After making a mistake When you make a mistake, do not take it as a negative experience. Take it rather as a process of nature. Nature wants to activate your thinking, so that your state of mind, if formerly uncreative, is now blessed with creativity. In all human progress, it is this process that is the most effective.
