The Essence of Peace
However, the gift of peace that is a product of unity is not merely political peace that suspends wars, for political peace is the final step. The first step is having peace of mind because all wars, discords, separation and enmities, appear from the different tastes and thoughts of people. All these animosities in religion, principles, creeds, races, and social classes, and all these enmities between nations, colors and social classes come from clinging to false thoughts and prejudice in ideas and beliefs. When peace, coexistence, pacifism and harmony emerge in thoughts, religions, branches, and divisions through the betterment of every individual human being, it is then that those animosities will perish, and true peace and agreement will be established. When such status is established, correct provisions for every political and religious peace will be obtained, and there will no longer be room for wars and discords.
