i travel not because i like to travel i travel so i can say this what you're looking for is inside of you and you should be in peace has been travelling today it reaches more than ten million homes each week in the city and over forty million homes in all of brazil over the years the series has received the highest award given by the brazilian ten years of words of peace a t v program that's i read by local t v channels hour around brazil and the it's a special moment i special date that's why we're receiving mr prime how what as you know he has the prem how what foundation and he's one of the most important to world leaders talking about the peace process around the words in a single we're addressing the hundreds of thousands of people in this peace program so we are very honored in talking to you in this in this moment i thank you very much thank you for having me and i am very honored to to be participating in the tenth anniversary of this beautiful thing which is people accepting the message of peace in their hearts and their understanding so i'm very honored thank you face of such peace is not about some concept or some idea of what it's going to be manifesting like on the outside but peace is a fundamental need for every single human being is a fundamental right of every single human being and to be in that piece feeling that piece not from the outside in but inside out from the heart not from definitions not from concepts not from ideas but truly feeling it that way as it exists in the heart of every single human being well there are many many concepts of peace in fact when i travel this is what comes out people have an idea of peace to some people peace is merely absence of war to some people pieces prosperity pieces this pieces that but what i try to address is the fundamental peace that resides within every single human being that peace is a inner experience not an outside experience but it's an inner feeling that every human being already has it is not something that needs to be created it is not something that needs to be defined it is not something that needs to be invented you know socrates said a long time ago no that i sell you could've said anything you know you could have said stop making wars he could have said just make a lot of money in your life or you know don't say much you know some people think being quiet not uttering a single word he could have said just shut up or he could have said go live on top of a mountain but he didn't say those things the message that has echoed for centuries has been what you are looking for is inside a few and if you're looking for peace believe me you won't find it anywhere else you will find it within your own be this peace have relevance to all people or is that some people are just not interested in peace or cannot be richard by peace it's like this you know if you come from a on really cold climate to slightly warmer climate and there's another person who comes from a really warm climate to slightly cooler climate those two people meet in one place one person is going to say boy is too warm another person's going to say boy it's cold because it depends where they come from so far we're trying to define peace as something on the outside then there are going to be people that are going to say i don't need that kind of peace but if we're looking at the peace that is inside of every human being these questions do not arise because it's fundamental you know there are so many cuisines in this world you have indian cuisine you have chinese you have japanese you have european you have so many cousins but what is the fundamental thing behind each one of these foods will be behind each one of these cuisines it's hunger now hunger does hunger have a language know does hunger have a national tea no does hunger have a time no hunger is hunger if you feel hungry you need to eat and it's the same way in so far that we are looking at peace as an external thing yes likes dislikes i don't like that flavor of peace i want this flavor of peace but if you're hungry and you're hungry for that peace that is inside of you then all these barriers go away and you see only the reality of peace not the concept of the reality of peace and that's important very important to recognize for many people today peace seems to be a boring subject kendis perspective be changed of course because they're coming from a concept of where pieces they're not coming from the need they have to feel the need what is the value of water well if you're thirsty not much but if you're thirsty in the middle of the desert if somebody came to you if you're dying of thirst in the middle of the desert and say if you have one hundred thousand dollars i will give you a cup of water sure you know you're sitting in a restaurant in new york there's water water everywhere and somebody comes to you i'll give you a cup of water for one hundred thousand no no i don't want to because a circumstance depends on the tours under thirst and if there is no terrorist nobody understands what pieces there is no value there is no value there's no understanding there's no reason to try to look at it in the realistic way but this is what i say to people and this is where my message is so different that peace is fundamental to human beings you have to discover it within you the tercel for peace is within you and the peace is within you and for a lot of people it's an environment it's a circumstance it's a definition but for me yes because everywhere i would go people would tell me why there cannot be peace so when there was speaking and i said listen you may have for reasons you may have five reasons you may have ten reasons and if there is two hundred people here maybe you have two hundred reasons why you cannot have peace but i have seven billion reasons because that is the population earth seven billion at this point in time seven billion by now yes at this point in time seven billion i have seven billion reasons for peace because all those people out there they do want peace in their lives and the what do you see as the main obstacles to peace just people's own ideas it's just people's own idea you know there was once an elephant going down the road so the man who was steering the elephant driving the elephant he saw that there were four people coming to and he realized that they could not see so he told them hey be careful move out of the way there is an elephant coming so immediately when they heard the word elephant they said stop stop stop is we have heard in our life what an elephant is we don't know what an elephant is could you stop your elephant we would like to feel the elephant and find find out for ourselves what an elephant is so the man of life he stopped is not so one person who could not see came in touch the foot feels the foot ok now i know what the elephant the last one goes to the tail and feels the tail the hair at the end goes ok now i know a bit of interest thank you very much the elephant went on a swaying these people started walking again and said oh my god i never realized that elephant was like a big thick branch of a or you are wrong as an elephant is like a big end of a tree because he had felt the foot and the other one said no no no no no the elephant is like a little thin little brown shoe with the  the one that had felt the tail and they kept discussing and discussing and discussing in discussing of course this is not going to reach any conclusion because they are all correct but none of them realize what it really is this is what happens in this world people are lost in definition of peace and nobody is pursuing the peace you need to feel the peace to understand what pieces not try to come up with a better definition if i try to come up with a better definition i could but i also know it would be pointless because when you are thirsty you need water not an explanation of water when you are hungry you need food not explanation of food and this is what the world needs to understand and all those people who have the different ideas i'm not saying they're wrong i'm not saying they're right i'm just saying they need to go beyond it and outside the conflict begins inside the war begins in the minds of human beings and then you see the outside expression and what is the outside expression innocent people die destruction lives and families rude prosperity gone all the things that we don't want becomes the outside expression of the conflict that is inside the human beings first thing first thing we have to learn how to respect respect who first you have to learn how to respect yourself now most people think respect is good manners oh hello how are you thank you very much smiled this and that that's just manners good manners there's nothing wrong with good manners but respect i different it's more than just manners and that respect has to begin with you when you respect yourself then you can respect other fellow human beings right now people are ready to kill each other because of difference of opinion you believe in this i believe in this i don't like you i'm going to kill you what is the point of your belief if it is destroying other human beings what is the point of having something that promotes conflict when just as easily inside a few resides peace you know i darkness truly far away from light or light far away from darkness no it's like one coin one side is darkness other side is light which one are picking there is so much greed in this world so much greed that for the fulfilment of one's own wishes we are very open and ready to destroy other people look at what happens in this world so many people go hungry and what do we blame it on we blame it on karma we blame it on the stars we blame it on this and that but do you know from this is from the institute of mechanical engineers they figure often the production of food in this world is wasted thrown away one point two billion tons of food is wasted nobody is saying why are we wasting the food we are human we are more interested in trying to find other cute but find other people out in the outer space when the reality of it is we have been looking for people in the outer space and haven't found any we are here on this planet there's nobody else around for a long long time i'm not saying there isn't anybody out there but for a long long time of space there is nobody there where the only ones we truly need to learn how to be with our neighbor how to be with ourselves how to be with our family conflict doesn't just happen between borders conflicts can happen inside helps conflicts can happen inside a town conflicts can happen inside a country and so the source of the conflict is from inside and the resolution to the conflict is also on the and i say to them ok so you say peace is not possible i say peace is possible what do you want to try and what do you want to try somebody comes to you and you are hungry and says i have no food and the other one says i do who you're going to go to give it a chance it is easy to be a critic it is easy to say no it takes a lot of courage to say yes and peace is not a magic wand peace is a little bit of effort by everybody on the face of this or do those people who are poor living in a village do they want peace yes they want peace the farmers want peace you know the partners want peace the tailoress want peace in fact children want peace this is important i mean just to be able to say no i could have said that too it's very easy very easy it takes courage and people going to the moon when the first apollo mission was scheduled to go to the moon there were a lot of people who said it cannot be done but there were a few who said it can and because of those people who said it can man went to the moon not because of the people who said it cannot be  v program could you please record them for me
