Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

 

 Chapter 5, Verse 3

 

“When renunciates neither crave nor hate,

Their renunciation does not waver.

They neither long for one thing

Nor loathe its opposite.

The chains of their delusion

Are soon cast off.”

 

Sri Aurobindo:

 

“The demon’s craving to break and slay what opposes him are impossible in the calm, peace, and all-embracing sympathy and understanding of true renunciates. They have no wish to injure, but on the contrary, they have a universal friendliness and compassion.  This compassion is that of the divine soul, embracing all others within, and not the shrinking of the heart, nerves, and flesh which is the ordinary form of pity.  They will not hasten towards slaughter and strife, but if war comes in the wave of the Dharma, they will accept it with a large equality and a perfect understanding and sympathy for those whose pleasure of domination they are there to vanquish.”

When our demons in life try to encircle and enshrowd us in negativity, it is then that we band together, bond our souls as one, in peace and love, and the fight is one of victory.  Hate cannot join love.  Love is too intense and too overwhelming for evil to penetrate when it is bonded together with the strength and the hearts of many

 

"All evil vanishes from those who keep the Sun in their hearts."
