Wisdom and Peace
(wisdom brings peace - wisdom quotes)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Yes, it is only wisdom that is the inner strength of peace. Whenever two countries fight each other... it is only a man of spiritual wisdom who can stop the war. Why?

Every wise man knows the secret of life. He truly understands that it is not the body that is governing but our soul atman within the body being the real essence of life. When comes the time to depart... all would be left behind!

All riches... all relationships... all material possessions... nothing can be carried forward to the next manifestation. Ultimately one realizes why fight over petty matters... matters over which practically none has control.

In the history of mankind if ever there was peace... it was absolutely attributed to an enlightened soul... a man of wisdom! When Lord Krishna came... peace dawned on Mother Earth. But it was possible after the battle of Mahabharata for adharma had to be uprooted in totality.

Subsequently followed Mahavira! The moment Mahavira gained enlightenment at 42 years of age... it was time of absolute peace! Jainism scriptures talk of moments when buffaloes and lions sat together mesmerized by the teachings of Mahavira.

Such is the efficacy of absolute wisdom. None remains a foe... all become partners in justice! Next followed Gautama Buddha... the moment the worth of his teachings spread world over... powerful kings like Ashoka turned to Buddhism. It was peace all over. Small kings surrendered and those equal in power became friends.

During the time of Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... peace prevailed all over. The collective power of wisdom has no parallel in mankind. Bhagavad Gita is one such scripture in Hinduism... the knower of which becomes the knower of all.

The wisdom of Bhagavad Gita is sufficient to bring world peace. Most people world over are awaiting the advent of Bhagwan Kalki (an Avatar of the present era) who shall bring peace to the world community... even though after world war three has occurred.
