Even if we were to rid ourselves of the army and all its weapons, people would invent other ways of destroying each other the very next day. Peace is an inner state, it will never be obtained by removing something external. It is within ourselves that we must remove the causes of war. And to live in a state of inner peace, we must learn to bring our thoughts, feelings and actions into harmony.*
