Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something interesting regarding those who believe and those who don’t believe in God ! Very interesting. It stimulates our lateral thinking :<\/p>\n

This lovely parable is from “Your Sacred Self” by Dr. Wayne Dyer.<\/p>\n

In a mother\u2019s womb were two babies. One asked the other: \u201cDo you believe in life after delivery?\u201dThe other replied, \u201cWhy, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNonsense\u201d said the first. \u201cThere is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?\u201d<\/p>\n

The second said, \u201cI don\u2019t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can\u2019t understand now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first replied, \u201cThat is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second insisted, \u201cWell I think there is something and maybe it\u2019s different than it is here. Maybe we won\u2019t need this physical cord anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first replied, \u201cNonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know,\u201d said the second, \u201cbut certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first replied \u201cMother? You actually believe in Mother? That\u2019s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?\u201d<\/p>\n

The second said, \u201cShe is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Said the first: \u201cWell I don\u2019t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which the second replied, \u201cSometimes, when you\u2019re in silence and you focus and\u00a0 listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.\u201d<\/p>\n

May be this was one of the best explanations to the\u00a0 concept of ‘GOD’.<\/p>\n
