TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

This is the result of the art of conversion. In doing so, every tree gives a silent message to man: Learn the art of conversion and the whole world will become a means of spiritual food for you. Make the whole world a global source of your personality development. You will be able to live in this world as a complaint-free person. For example, if a person says something that goes against what you think, then turn it into a point for discussion. If somebody speaks ill of you, then make that a source of self-discovery. If you are discriminated against, then draw the lesson from this instance that you need to develop in yourself that missing quality on the basis of which you have been discriminated against. If someone provokes you, you should defuse the issue through unilateral avoidance. If someone makes you angry, you should calm yourself down by forgiving him. If a person differs from your point of view, then enter into a discussion with him and thus increase your intellectual development. There is a story that tells us that once someone hit Rama with a stone. In return, Rama embraced the person and in this way, he made the throwing of a stone a means to inculcate in him a positive quality, that is, love for humanity. This story teaches us a lesson on how to adopt the culture of the tree in one’s own life. If you throw a stone at a tree, it will give you fruit in return. This is the highest kind of positive behaviour. By adopting this positive behaviour, you can make the whole world turn in your favour, just as the tree does. Everyone is free to act. This culture of freedom has filled the world with differences. It is these differences that lead to negative thoughts about others. Then what is the art of living in such a situation? It is in some way or the other to convert every difference into something positive which will be in your favour. Spirituality is not a mysterious term. It is only another name for positive thinking. Positive thinking means living in positivity despite all kinds of negative experiences. This is the key to spirituality. Any man or woman who wants to live as a spiritual person must adopt this formula, that is, the art of conversion: converting negativity into positivity. Spirituality is not a natural gift: it is an acquired attribute. Spirituality is not a mysterious term. It is only another name for positive thinking. Positive thinking means living in positivity despite all kinds of negative experiences. This is the key to spirituality.
