TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

To patiently accept and tolerate loss is not tantamount to defeat. Rather, it is something that requires great courage and boldness. to still retain the ability to view things in a balanced and pragmatic way and to make new life-plans. Forgetting what one has lost; one is able to carry on with one’s purpose in life on the basis of what one still has. One saves oneself from hopelessness, and with wisdom, is able to surge ahead in life. In life, after every evening a new morning dawns. This world is full of potentials and possibilities. Here, if you lose one opportunity, you can gain another one. If you miss one step, another step leading to a new door, opens up to you. In this way, if a certain plan fails, one can always make a new plan to carry on with life’s purpose. The fact of the matter is that in this world bad news always comes along with good news. Every accident silently gives us the good news that we must not be disheartened, and that instead, mustering our courage, we should search for new opportunities. If we respond in this positive way, then nature itself gives us the good news that our loss is not permanent. It tells us that we can very soon rebuild our lives—and in a better way than before. It conveys to us that we can convert what seems to be our defeat into a new and brighter future. Those who do not accept loss fall prey to negative thinking and so make their lives into an enormous burden. In doing so, they themselves become a burden on others. On the other hand, those who respond with patience and courage can build a new mansion on the ruins of the past. They search and discover a new dawn after a dark evening, in the light of which they carry on with their life’s journey unimpeded. o Universe with God The choice for us is not between a universe with God, or a universe without God. It is rather between a universe with God, or no universe at all.
