What is really the meaning of the word peace?

Sometimes people dont understand why I use the term Warrior of Light since Im engaged in a kind of confrontation with life. I do this because I believe that Nature is also in a state of confrontation: springtime against winter, winter against summer, lions against zebras, etc. For me peace is an utopia as far as Nature is concerned. That said we need to strive for peace among ourselves but we also need to keep in mind that absolute peace is an utopia despite the many attempts of peace in the world. Consequently this state of peace may lead to boredom. In the light of this: Do you really want peace in the world? Have you ever considered that there was never peace in the world and that therefore this goal may simply be unattainable?

Peace...Shanti... I believe that is a state of mind. It's not something tangible, it's not defined by nations or people. We are experiencing this world through a limited equipment which is our body, our emotions and our perceptions. Peace is an Utopia created by our limited mind, however the 'concept' of it is more 'in tune' with our higher nature... that's why deep inside we 'feel' that is something to be obtained. Gandhi 'fought' non-violently for peace. There was an ideal for peace, but more than that, he taught us that we are more than a word, more than a concept, we are more than this body and whatever we think that is right or wrong, is a lie from our mind.





Om Namah Sivaya

Moksha dreams

Sueños de liberación.

¿Quien es ella?
Quimeras en un espacio finito
sucumbe a lo impreciso
entrega a lo importuno
¿Quien eres?
