Peace Is Always Just Beyond the Mind
Osho,
It seems war is inevitable and there is nothing that even the U.N. can do to prevent it. What can we do?
“I think it is time that the people of the world start understanding the politician and his hypocrisy, his double personality, because if the third world war happens, then there will be no life on this beautiful planet. I don’t believe at all in this declaration of the UN, but I have another program for the people:
“First, don’t trust your politicians. Don’t be consoled by their cunning strategies.
“Second, remember that you are going to be destroyed with your children, with your wife, with your parents, with your trees, with your animals — everything that is alive on the earth.
“If the people of the whole earth simply refuse and say, ‘We are not going to fight, there is no point in it,’ if they refuse and say, ‘We don’t want boundaries of nations. If there is going to be no war, why keep these boundaries? What purpose do these boundaries serve?’… If the people of the world force their governments and say, ‘Disperse all your armies. Let those people be creative….’”
