Quote by Peace Pilgrim

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. On one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. On the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time.

Summary

This quote suggests that inner peace and world peace are interconnected and can be pursued simultaneously. It highlights that individuals can attain inner peace by selflessly dedicating themselves to a cause greater than personal interests, such as working towards achieving world peace. This shift from self-centeredness to focusing on the greater good enhances personal well-being and tranquility. Simultaneously, the quote proposes that working towards inner peace is vital for establishing lasting world peace. It implies that collective inner harmony is necessary for creating stability in global peace efforts.
