The Jewish greet each other with Shalom (peace) and the Moslem with Salam (peace) and the Christians with "peace be upon you" and the Hindus chant "Om shanti shanti shanti-hi" or "peace peace peace". Despite the difference all the religions of the world understand that "peace" in every man is of utmost importance over everything else. Not happiness, health or wealth but simple "peace of mind"! Without this inner peace, man is violent and destroys the peace around him.
Black Elk, a medicine man of the Lakota tribe once said ..
"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realise their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers ... This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men"
