Creating Peace: SN Goenka's Viewpoint, Quotes and Inspired Poem

VIEWPOINT

According to S.N. Goenka, promoter of Buddhist Vipassana meditation, true world peace is impossible without inner peace achieved through personal transformation and the practice of reflection and  meditation. He held that world peace starts with the individual  since an agitated mind filled with anger and hatred cannot create a peaceful society. When people feel irritated or unhappy, they do not keep that misery to themselves; they spread it to everyone around them. Generating negative emotions like anger makes a person the immediate victim of their own suffering. The inner core of all humanism promotes a pure, disciplined mind filled with peace,  love and compassion first and foremost.

QUOTES
  • If there is no peace in the minds of individuals, how can there be peace in the world? Make peace in your own mind first.
  • Discover real peace and harmony within yourself, and naturally this will overflow to benefit others.
  • Peace and negativity cannot coexist just as light and darkness cannot coexist

INSPIRED POEM

A quiet mind, a gentle soul,
Can make the worried world feel whole.
If storms still rage inside your head,
How can true peace be widely spread?

Look deep within, where whispers lie,
And find the calm beneath the sky.
A peaceful mind, a happy thought,
Is the first lesson life has taught.

When light begins within your breast,
The shadows flee, put to the test.
For peace and darkness cannot stay,
One drives the other far away.

So let your inner calm arise,
Reflected in a thousand eyes.
Start with yourself, a simple deed,
And sow a peaceful, loving seed.

An ink attack at Jantar Mantar and aftermath

Image
 An ink attack, which involves throwing ink at a rival, celebrity, politician, or public official, is typically intended to humiliate the target, attract media attention, and convey feelings of hate or disagreement. Such actions undermine democracy and hinder the potential for constructive and meaningful discussions. They substitute logical arguments with cheap publicity stunts. This type of attack goes beyond rational discourse and peaceful debate, creating panic as it may involve hazardous chemicals. However, when a government supporter targeted Abhijit Dipke of CJP at Jantar Mantar, he and his supporters managed to handle the situation calmly, preventing social unrest. A limerick  Young Dipke, a chap quite astute, Was ink-attacked, a messy pursuit. He stayed calm and meek, As the attacker woman did shriek, "Blue's my color!" he said, with sweet hoot.
