Image
A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you give your life as a prayer, you intensify the prayer beyond all measure.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Do not suppress it - that would hurt you inside. Do not express it - this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.
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
It is my mission as a pilgrim to act as a messenger expressing spiritual truths. It is a task which I accept joyfully, and I desire nothing in return, neither praise or glory, nor the glitter of silver and gold. I simply rejoice to be able to follow the whisperings of a Higher Will.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I walk until given shelter, fast until given food. I don't ask - it's given without asking. Aren't people good! There's a spark of good in everybody, no mater how deeply it may be buried. It's waiting to govern your life gloriously.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I feel a complete protection on my pilgrimage. God is my shield. There are no accidents in the Divine Plan nor does God leave us unattended. No one walks so safely as those who walk humbly and harmlessly with great love and great faith.
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.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan.

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
All who act upon their highest motivations become a power for good. Know that every right thing you do - every good word you say - every positive thought you think - has a good effect.
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
Fountain of Love my source is in thee - Loving thy will my spirit is free - Beautiful day when all of us see - The hope of the world is Love!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We are all cells in the body of humanity - all of us, all over the world. Each one has a contribution to make, and will know from within what this contribution is.
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
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.
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.

Real peace is more than the absence of war it is an absence of the causes of war.
