Karuna ~ The Way of the Peaceful Heart


Being Peace
With the commitment to increased service, we also commit to living peacefully. Peace of mind is available to us at all times. Do we want to be right, or do we choose to be peaceful and happy. For if we choose to be right, someone has to be wrong and peace is not possible any longer. When we begin to value our peace of mind over all else, we begin to actually be peace. It will not be unnoticed and like a drop in a pond the feeling of peace will expand to those around us.

Peace on Earth What would you want, forgiveness cannot give?
Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it.
Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world?
Do you want care and safety and the warmth
of pure protection always?
Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed?
A Gentleness that never can be hurt?
A deep abiding comfort and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?

Here is the answer: Would you stand outside, while all of heaven waits for you within?
Forgive and be forgiven.
As you give you will receive.

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth This is the way of PEACE:
overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.

(Peace Pilgrim)

"A pilgrimage is a gentle journey of prayer and example. My walking is first of all a prayer for peace. If you give your life as a prayer you intensify the prayer beyond measure."

(Peace Pilgrim)

The peace of God is shining you you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever.
