Peace in the world is quite a different idea than pride in knowledge. I think I have met many college professors who had pride in knowledge. There was really no other way of looking at a subject for them except there own view. You can see that in most people in many subjects. But when someone is given a title they often seem to get more dogmatic then people who have more humble lives. I’m just saying that many simple people have such a humble life that they are not in a position to have pride of knowledge.
Its often the more someone has financially and in titles quite often the more they think they are right. Perhaps you see it differently. You have people who will ignore all the evidence provided and make up their own philosophy to justify their pride and satisfaction in what they think they know in their given field; for instance Trump trying to run our country like a business that has a singular vision of Americans first without seeing the larger view of his destroying the earth.
Hi Steve,
I don't understand what you're talking about. Today's message reflects the teachings of the other masters discussed here... The battle-cry of Gurunath, "Self peace for world peace"
Man must first create peace in himself if he desires to see peace in the world; for lacking peace within, no effort of his can bring any result.
