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
Constantly through thought you are creating your inner conditions and helping to create the conditions around you. So keep your thoughts on the positive side, think about the best that could happen, think about the good things you want to happen.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The ideal society has yet to be built - one which balances nicely collective well-being and individual well-being.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I began my pilgrimage on the first of January in 1953. It is my spiritual birthday of sorts. It was a period in which I was merged with the whole. No longer was I a seed buried under the ground, but I felt as a flower reaching out effortlessly toward the sun.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. Service, of course-service. Giving, not getting. Your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. The secret of life is being of service.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I believe that the means you use will determine the end you receive.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It isn't enough just to do right things and say right things, you must also think right things before your life can come into harmony.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
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
It's very important to get your desires centered so you will desire only to do God's will for you. You can come to the point of oneness of desire, just to know and do your part in the Life Pattern. When you think about it, is there anything else as really important to desire?
Peace Pilgrim
Image
A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.
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
When we attempt to isolate another we only isolate ourselves. We are all God's children and there are no favorites. God is revealed to all who seek God speaks to all who will listen. Be still and know God.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace?
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to change their lives, but I've met many more people who merely had to change their motive to service in order to change their lives.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument which only truth can speak.
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
Humanity can only improve as people improve. When you have improved your life, you can inspire those around you to want to improve their lives. Remember that a few in harmony with God's will are more powerful than multitudes out of harmony.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I have chosen the positive approach - instead of stressing the bad things which I am against, I stress the good things which I am for.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
A few really dedicated people can offset the ill effects of masses of out-of-harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter.

The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.
