May19 program. The Bhagavad Gita As It Is version explains the formula for world peace in its chapter 5 verse 29 by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna.
bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram suhrdam
sarva-bhutanam jnatva mam santim rcchati: Translation: The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and
austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and
well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material
miseries. |
| Listening Peace Formula |
Every step in the material mode of nature leads to danger but the action in Krishna Consciousness leads one to inner and outer peace. This is because the action undertaken will not be for self but to please the master.
An accountant in the bank may handle daily thousands of dollars but he will not take any cent out of it, and if he takes he will be guilty of and will be punished. He does this with the consciousness that all the money he has to do with belongs the bank or the bankowner, and his share will be the salary only, given at the cost of his work. Similarly, everything belongs to the creator, Krishna so working for Krishna or in Krishna Consciousness prevents one from encroach that leads to conflict. Conflict destroys peace.
This chapter enourages one to recognise one's position and the position of the creator, the propriotor of everthing and act accordingly with intention to please the Supreme Propriotor, Krishna. This elements was nice explained by Janmastami prabhu to the gatheringof about 25 people from nationalities of Bhutanese, Indian, Nepalese, Dutch and Belgians.
It is logical that lording over the material nature violates the natural law and the law breakers cannot remain in peace. Moreover one has act in Krishna Consciousness which is explained in the Bhagavad Gita as Akarma, inaction. Acting for the fruitive results binds one into illission but acting without the motive for one's sense satisfaction but to please the Almighty will be of divine nature that does not result to negative reaction. This is scientific that every action has equal and opposite reaction, this Bhagavad Gita teaches. The peace in mind will take place also upon taking up the holy name of the Lord and sing his glory through the mantra: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. See purport here:
A thirsty man cannot get quinched simply by speaking out water water, because water is a material substance and this substance is different from the water itself. But, repeating the Lord's name: Hare Krishna will quinch one's heart because the Lords name is non different from the Lord Himself since both are spiritual. For inner happiness singing this mantra is important. Naamhat Boxtel facilitates this to practically apply this peace process.
