I was in South Africa, and it was really amazing because I was talking about peace and I was taking calls and people were saying, “It’s not possible.”
Because one gentleman said, “I have a young daughter, and she doesn’t see the difference in the black, white. She just plays with everybody, enjoys her time. But this is something that is learned.”
And he said, “But peace is not really possible.” And I said, “Well, hang on. If this is a learned behavior, then we can unlearn it.”
An excerpt:
Cecilia:
You say that peace is not the absence of war. At times you have delivered your message in areas near places at war. How do you sustain that strength and integrity in such an environment?
Prem:
I think the message delivers itself because when you really think about this, what people want is prosperity. And what I have seen in my life, that all of us just want some elbow room. To believe in our God the way we want to, to prosper, to grow, to have a better life, and these things are not against peace. And so when this message comes out, even though it may be surrounded by war it still reaches a place inside human beings where they don’t want that war. Even in the middle of the war, there are people who don’t want it. Even in the darkness there is a candle, and the candle is lit.
The path to practical peace requires us to know who we are. In this interview filmed in Sri Lanka, Prem explains we have everything we need for happiness—if we only look within. Everyone who knows themselves is an ambassador for peace. Life is calling. Will you answer and choose peace and joy?
