The Power of Peace

1
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:05,500
As human beings, we are in a
murder of dynamic power.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,900
We want action, and the powers
of the body, the Life Energy,

3
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:14,800
and the mind are prized.
When they can accomplish visible

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,200
results.
We have Proverbs such as might

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,400
makes right, which makes it seem
like strength and action is the

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,900
most positive attribute.
We carry this Viewpoint into

7
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:32,500
everyday interactions.
If we feel challenged, we tend

8
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,800
to respond with an aggressive
active response.

9
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,900
The Old Testament of the Bible
sets forth, the idea of an eye

10
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,800
for an eye, as a way to respond
to actions of others.

11
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:49,900
In the modern world, we take a
front at some action of others

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,400
whether an insult or a driving
action with an immediate come

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,300
back.
We demonstrate our national

14
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:00,100
strength through parades of
armies and weapons of

15
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:04,000
Destruction, the blare of
trumpets, the beating of drums,

16
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,500
We take this kind of aggressive
stance as an indicator of

17
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,300
strength, those who do not act.
This way, our be rated as weak

18
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:20,000
and looked upon as failures.
There is however, another kind

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,700
of strength, a foundational
strength, a strength that is

20
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:31,400
quiet, solid and secure within
itself, which needs not show off

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,900
or demonstrate its prowess
through the beating of of a

22
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:39,500
drum.
This is a power of Peace, not

23
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,100
simply the - peace.
We Define as the absence of

24
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:49,000
conflict but a positive peace,
which is a palpable Force within

25
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,500
oneself and surrounding one
which provide the individual a

26
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,500
solid basis.
So that the pressures and

27
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,900
attacks do not affect one's
point.

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,400
This is not a matter of
suppression of reaction, which

29
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000
still implies the inner reaction
occurs.

30
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:12,600
But a true deep and immovable
power of peace that does not

31
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,500
trouble over the attacks at all
but moves forward secure in its

32
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:23,800
own truth and its own Direction.
There are legends of rishi's who

33
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,700
maintained ashrams.
We're in wild beasts would tame

34
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,400
lie, lie down next to Anna poles
upon which they would

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,400
ordinarily.
Pray, Many individuals have

36
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,800
experienced a deep sense of
peace and calm when they visit

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,300
various locations and they
report that this piece permeates

38
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,600
and remains active within them.
When they go outside, at least

39
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,600
for some period of time during
which they simply are not

40
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,300
responsive to provocation, 's,
The mother writes quote.

41
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,400
Well, there is a static power,
how to explain it to you, look,

42
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:07,000
there's the same difference
between static power and dynamic

43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,600
power as between a game of
defense and a game of attack,

44
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
you understand?
It's the same thing.

45
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,100
Static power is something which
can withstand everything.

46
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,800
Nothing can act upon it.
Nothing can touch it.

47
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:26,000
Nothing can shake it.
It is in Mobile, but it is

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Invincible.
Dynamic power of something in

49
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,700
action, which at times goes
forth and May at times receive

50
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:36,600
blows.
That is to say if you want your

51
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,300
Dynamic power, to be always
Victorious.

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,800
It must be supported by a
considerable static power.

53
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Unshakable base.
I know what you want to say that

54
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,500
a human being becomes aware of
power.

55
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:55,400
Only when it is dynamic, a human
being doesn't consider it a

56
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,900
power except when it acts, if it
doesn't act, he does not even

57
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:02,600
notice it.
He does not realize the

58
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,300
tremendous Force, which is
behind this in action at times,

59
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,700
even frequently of force more
for biddable than the power,

60
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:17,800
which Acts But you may try it
out in yourself, you will see,

61
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,399
it is much more difficult to
remain.

62
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:24,500
Calm, immobile.
Unshakable before something very

63
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:28,800
unpleasant, whether it be words
or acts leveled against you

64
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,600
infinitely, more difficult than
to answer with the same

65
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,400
violence.
Suppose someone insults you if

66
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,600
in the face of these insults you
can remain immobile.

67
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:45,500
Not only outwardly.
I mean, integrally without being

68
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,700
shaken or touched in any
direction.

69
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,100
You are there like a force
against which one can do nothing

70
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:56,100
and you do not reply, you do not
make a gesture.

71
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,700
You do not say a word, all the
insults thrown at you.

72
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:06,000
Leave you absolutely untouched
within and without You can keep

73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,500
your heart beats.
Absolutely quiet.

74
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
You can keep the thoughts in
your head quite a mobile and

75
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,300
column without there, being in
the least Disturbed.

76
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,300
That is, your head does not
answer immediately by similar

77
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:23,200
vibrations and your nerves.
Don't feel clenched with the

78
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,300
need to return a few blows to
relieve themselves.

79
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,100
If you can do like that, you
have a static power and it is

80
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:36,400
infinitely more powerful than if
you had that kind of force which

81
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,000
makes you answer insult by
insole blow-by-blow, and
