Quote

Faith is a belief in things that your senses have not experienced and your mind does not understand, but you have touched them in other ways and have accepted them. It is easy for one to speak of faith it is another thing to live it.

The ideal society has yet to be built - one which balances nicely collective well-being and individual well-being.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The fear habit is very detrimental because you attract the things you fear. If we have any fear we need to get rid of it.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
There is no glimpse of the light without walking the path. You can't get it from anyone else, nor can you give it to anyone. Just take whatever steps seem easiest for you, and as you take a few steps it will be easier for you to take a few more.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
....If you are guided toward a faith, use it as a stepping stone to God, not as a barrier between yourself and God's other children or as a tower to hold you aloft from others. If you are not guided toward a faith (or even if you are) seek God in the silence - seek within.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.

Image
A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The sanctuary of peace dwells within. Seek it out and all things will be added to you. We're coming closer and closer to the time when enough of us will have found inner peace to affect our institutions for the better. And as soon as this happens the institutions will in turn, through example, affect for the better those who are still immature.

I considered myself liberated long before it became the fashion. First I liberated myself from debilitating habits, and went on to free myself of combative, aggressive thoughts. I have also cast aside any unnecessary possessions. This, I feel, is true liberation.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I wish that every child could have growing space because I think children are a little like plants. If they grow too close together, they become thin and sickly and never obtain maximum growth. We need room to grow.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you recognize that all of your inner hurts are caused by your own wrong actions or your own wrong reactions or your own wrong inaction, then you will stop hurting yourself.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light came to me.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
To the world I may seem very poor, walking penniless and wearing or carrying in my pockets my only material possessions, but I am really very rich in blessings which no amount of money could buy - health and happiness and inner peace.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Few find inner peace but this is not because they try and fail, it is because they do not try. . . When your life is governed by the divine nature instead of the self-centered nature you have found inner peace.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you did not face problems you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Real peace is more than the absence of war it is an absence of the causes of war.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We are all cells in the same body of humanity.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
You might say that science operates pragmatically and religion by divine guidance. If valid, they would reach the same conclusions but science would take a lot longer.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Worry is useless mulling over of things we cannot change. Worry is not concern, which would motivate you to do everything possible in a situation.
