I was intrigued by the rather novel menu headings -especially Action for Peace and while browsing through the same, it triggered this train of thought:
Q: What does it take to create a conflict?/ What are the reasons behind a conflict? ( I thought this was easy)
- Lack of sattva
- Stress
- Difference of opinion/religion/political views/upbringing/race/
- Huge egos
- nothing! A conflict can start out of absolutely nothing!
Answer: Any or all of the above and many more that i haven't listed here!!
Q: What is absolutely essential e to resolve a conflict?
- Great diplomatic skills
- Good Education
- Good people skills
- Lot of courage and patience
Answer: Something is missing..., can't say what. Each answer only seems partially correct and at the same time quite capable of not making even the slightest difference. There must be some X factor...
Thats when i stumbled upon the following:
- 'White one' unites two warring tribes in Ivory Coast: About Dipali Patel, a wisp of a girl from Mumbai India, was instrumental in dissolving the mistrust and disharmony between the Deula and Guere tribes in Ivory Coast (Click on Sustainable peace in the Ivory Coast to read more). She and The Art of Living Foundation were honoured by the Ivory Coast Government.
Really interesting, what all can happen when people meditate together :).

There was a time when i thought meditation is for myself, my growth, my depth etc. Not that it was going to help anyone else. But then, a lit candle has no choice but to spread a little light! and like you said in your earlier post, darkness is just absence of light. perhaps in this light we can say, conflict is the absence of peace - inner peace and harmony! This whole thing is so beautiful. Yet again feel grateful for my dear Master who is the light of my life :)Thank you for reminding me to be grateful once again.
Very well written post.You are just too sweet Harish anna. The new website looks much more cooler.
What can resolve a conflict - Absolute centredness, unconditional love, Grace of the Divine. JGD
