Why is individual peace inseparable from world peace? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today of our duty.

You cannot be indifferent to the state of the environment in which you live. One who wishes to dig a well for pure water will choose a spot far from polluted or saline areas. If you want to achieve peace, you must see that the atmosphere around you is conducive to peace. This means that you must cultivate the feeling that your individual peace is intimately related to the peace of the world. It was out of realisation of this profound truth that the ancients prescribed the universal prayer: “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu” (May all the people in all the worlds be happy). It is only when we strive for world peace can we ensure our own individual peace. The mark of a genuinely godly person is that he strives not only for his peace, happiness, and bliss, but also for the peace, prosperity, and happiness of the world as a whole. Faith and Love are the two primary requisites for leading a godly life. These two are as important for man as the two wings for a bird or the wheels for a chariot.
