The Peace
Peace cannot come through the MIND because it is not of the Mind. Peace is the delicious perfume of the TRANQUIL HEART.
Peace is not a matter of projects, international police, the UN, the OAS, international treaties, or invading armies that fight in the name of PEACE.
If we truly want real PEACE, we must learn to live like the watchman in times of war, always alert and vigilant, with a ready and ductile Mind, because PEACE is not a matter of romantic FANTASIES or beautiful dreams.
If we do not learn to live in a state of alertness from moment to moment, then the path that leads to PEACE becomes impossible, narrow, and after becoming extremely difficult, will ultimately lead to a dead end.
It is necessary to understand, it is urgent to know that the authentic PEACE of the TRANQUIL HEART is not a house where we can arrive and where a beautiful maiden awaits us happily. Peace is not a goal, a place, etc.
To pursue PEACE, to seek it, to make projects about it, to fight in its name, to make propaganda about it, to found organisations to work for it, etc., is totally absurd because PEACE is not of the Mind, PEACE is the wonderful perfume of the tranquil heart.
PEACE cannot be bought or sold, nor can it be achieved through APPEASEMENT systems, special controls, police, etc.
In some countries, the national army goes through the countryside destroying villages, murdering people, and shooting alleged bandits, all this supposedly in the name of PEACE. The result of such a procedure is the multiplication of BARBARITY.
Violence begets more violence, hatred produces more hatred. PEACE cannot be conquered, PEACE cannot be the result of violence. PEACE only comes to us when we dissolve the EGO, when we destroy within ourselves all the PSYCHOLOGICAL factors that produce wars.
If we want PEACE, we have to contemplate, we have to study, we have to see, the whole picture and not just a corner of it.
PEACE is born within us when we have changed radically in an intimate way.
The issue of controls, PRO-PEACE organisations, appeasements, etc., are isolated details, points, in the ocean of life, isolated fractions of the total picture of EXISTENCE, which can never solve the problem of PEACE in its radical, total, and definitive form.
We must look at the picture in its complete form, the problem of the world is the problem of the individual; if the INDIVIDUAL does not have PEACE within, society, the world will inevitably live in war.
The teachers in schools, colleges, and universities must work for PEACE, unless they love BARBARITY and VIOLENCE.
It is urgent, it is essential to point out to the students of the new generation the path to follow, the intimate path that can lead us with complete accuracy to the authentic PEACE of the tranquil heart.
People do not really understand what true inner PEACE is and only want no one to cross their path, not to be hindered, not to be bothered, even when they take it upon themselves to hinder, bother, and embitter the lives of their fellow human beings.
People have never experienced true PEACE and only have absurd opinions, romantic ideals, and mistaken concepts about it.
For thieves, PEACE would be the joy of being able to steal with impunity without the police getting in their way. For smugglers, PEACE would be to be able to smuggle their contraband everywhere without the authorities preventing it. For those who starve the people, PEACE would be to sell very dearly, exploiting right and left without the official government inspectors prohibiting it. For prostitutes, PEACE would be to enjoy themselves in their beds of pleasure and exploit all men freely without the health or police authorities interfering in their lives at all.
Everyone forms in their mind fifty thousand absurd fantasies about PEACE. Each one tries to build around them an egoistic wall of false ideas, beliefs, opinions, and absurd concepts about what PEACE is.
Each one wants PEACE in their own way, according to their whims, their tastes, their mistaken habits, customs, etc. Each one wants to lock themselves inside a protective, fantastic wall, with the purpose of living their own PEACE, mistakenly conceived.
People fight for PEACE, they desire it, they want it, but they do not know what PEACE is. People only want not to be hindered, to be able to do each one’s mischief very calmly and at their ease. That is what they call PEACE.
No matter what mischief people do, each one believes that what they do is good. People find justification even for the worst crimes. If the drunkard is sad, he drinks because he is sad. If the drunkard is happy, he drinks because he is happy. The drunkard always justifies the vice of alcohol. That is how all people are, for every crime they find justification, no one considers themselves perverse, everyone presumes to be just and honourable.
There are many vagabonds who mistakenly suppose that PEACE is being able to live without working, very calmly and without any effort in a world full of wonderful romantic fantasies.
There are millions of opinions and mistaken concepts about PEACE. In this painful world in which we live: each one seeks their fantastic PEACE, the peace of their opinions. People want to see in the world the peace of their dreams, their special type of peace, even though within themselves each one carries the psychological factors that produce wars, enmities, problems of all kinds.
In these times of global crisis, everyone who wants to become famous founds PRO-PEACE organisations, makes propaganda, and becomes a champion of PEACE. We must not forget that many cunning politicians have won the NOBEL Peace Prize even though they have an entire cemetery on their account and have in one way or another secretly ordered the assassination of many people when they have been in danger of being eclipsed.
There are also true teachers of humanity who sacrifice themselves by teaching the Doctrine of the Dissolution of the EGO in all places on earth. These teachers know from their own experience that only by dissolving the Mephistopheles that we carry within, does the peace of the heart come to us.
As long as hatred, greed, envy, jealousy, the acquisitive spirit, ambition, anger, pride, etc. etc. exist within each individual, there will inevitably be wars.
We know many people in the world who presume to have found PEACE. When we have studied these people in depth, we have been able to see that they do not even remotely know PEACE and that they have only locked themselves within some solitary and comforting habit, or within some special belief, etc., but in reality, these people have not even remotely experienced what the true PEACE of the tranquil heart is. Really, these poor people have only fabricated an artificial peace that in their ignorance they confuse with the AUTHENTIC PEACE OF THE HEART.
It is absurd to seek PEACE within the mistaken walls of our prejudices, beliefs, preconceptions, desires, habits, etc.
As long as the psychological factors that produce enmities, dissensions, problems, wars exist within the Mind, there will be no true PEACE.
Authentic PEACE comes from legitimate beauty wisely understood.
The beauty of the tranquil heart exhales the delicious perfume of true inner PEACE.
It is urgent to understand the beauty of friendship and the perfume of courtesy.
It is urgent to understand the beauty of language. It is necessary that our words carry within themselves the substance of sincerity. We must never use arrhythmic, inharmonious, crude, absurd words.
Each word must be a true symphony, each phrase must be full of spiritual beauty. It is as bad to speak when one should be silent, and to be silent when one should speak. There are criminal silences and there are infamous words.
There are times when speaking is a crime, there are times when being silent is also another crime. One must speak when one must speak and be silent when one must be silent.
Let us not play with the word because it is of grave responsibility.
Every word must be weighed before being articulated because each word can produce in the world much that is useful and much that is useless, much benefit or much harm.
We must take care of our gestures, manners, clothing, and acts of all kinds. May our gestures, our clothing, the way we sit at the table, the way we behave when eating, the way we attend to people in the living room, in the office, in the street, etc., always be full of beauty and harmony.
It is necessary to understand the beauty of goodness, to feel the beauty of good music, to love the beauty of creative art, to refine our way of thinking, feeling, and acting.
Supreme beauty can only be born within us when the EGO has died in a radical, total, and definitive way.
We are ugly, horrible, disgusting as long as we have the PSYCHOLOGICAL EGO inside and alive. Beauty in its entirety is impossible in us as long as the PLURALISED EGO exists.
If we want authentic PEACE, we must reduce the EGO to cosmic dust. Only then will there be inner beauty in us. From that beauty will be born in us the charm of love and the true PEACE of the heart.
CREATOR PEACE brings order within oneself, eliminates confusion and fills us with legitimate happiness.
It is necessary to know that the mind cannot understand what true PEACE is. It is urgent to understand that the peace of the tranquil heart does not come to us through effort, or by belonging to some society or organisation dedicated to making propaganda for PEACE.
Authentic peace comes to us in a totally natural and simple way when we regain innocence in the mind and in the heart, when we become like delicate and beautiful children, sensitive to everything beautiful as well as to everything ugly, to everything good as well as to everything bad, to everything sweet as well as to everything bitter.
It is necessary to regain lost childhood, both in the mind and in the heart.
PEACE is something immense, extensive, infinite, it is not something formed by the mind, it cannot be the result of a whim or the product of an idea. Peace is an atomic substance that is beyond good and evil, a substance that is beyond all morality, a substance that emanates from the very bowels of the ABSOLUTE.
