the solution lies within if that is what you want i can well a very warm good evening to you and welcome to this festival i would also like to tank the ma and distinguished officials for inviting me to play a small part this evening i feel like i am much more in my territory talking about peace before we get too deep into the topic of peace i think it's incredibly important to know what are we talking about as i have traveled around the world and mentioned the word peace believe me it evokes very different feelings in different people peace what peace what kind of peace some people think if you feed the hungry that's it they'll be peace some people think oh  remove poverty make everybody rich peace some people thing no no no no no no and the war so i always like to clarify what i mean thing is you are human be when was the last time you were introduced as a human being recognize another cow a fish may not recognize a crow but will definitely recognize other fish after all who is it that will recognize as a human being except for another human  it takes the eye of simplicity it takes the i was that looks at you for who you we don't want our pain acknowledged yes yes yes we are all we are all perfect we have no problem i mean how could we have problems excuse me we do it might be as simple that your cat doesn't listen to you or it might be as complicated that your wife hates you it might be as complicated as your business is about to go under that's what's happening in this world this is what is happening in this world right now as the economy is in these countries  people who have accomplishments that would go many many times higher than this hall are left wishing for only one thing that they had not borrowed the money there are a lot of humble people right now in this world and becoming becoming humbler by the day because right now all graphs look like this they go a little bit up a little bit up a little bit up down and i mean you wonder how down can they go but experts say have patience they will keep going down the real piece not the imagined piece not the social piece and to understand what i am saying let me give you another analogy imagine imagine a field huge beautiful manicured and then this field there are statues statues huge massive massive statues some of these statues are of pain and you are the traveler going from statue to statue to statue to statue and sometimes you stand at the base of the stack you pain and you look up and it is so enormous it is so h that you cannot believe it and all the other statues all of a sudden start to look small and then one day you manage to go by the statue of joy and you look up and that statue is so big that the statue of pain looks small but do you really want to see these statues the way they are and you have to stand on the hill off piece on the platform of peace because from day care and only from there you will have the perspect is bigger than the other that they're all the same whether they're joy whether their pain pain will come and it will go it will come and it will go and it isn't the time of plenty prepare for the time off let this has something to do with  in your life you have to look through the eyes of  what do i mean by clarity clarity is simple see if you cannot love someone i mean if you can love them great but if you cannot love someone don't hate them this is your truth this is who you are the good the goodness that comes out of here also needs to flow from not just perceived goodness this is a good thing this is a good thing this is a good thing but good mess of a human being because when we become that human being and forget puzzles and understand that we are part of the same thing then the goodness flows from the heart of the human i take my message to prisons i have been to prisons i speak to prisoners sometimes they watch my d v d s and sometimes they write to me i don't judge them they have already been judged that's why they're in prison they don't need to be judged twice you did what you did hopefully you understand what you're doing but let me in now address a human being because you are the source of a tremendous amount of good you are the source of a tremendous amount of  you are the source of a tremendous amount of clarity and yes indeed you are the source of a tremendous amount of  when does it begin that you can seriously started understanding with pieces about this is the day you don't relate to pieces something for someone else but for you happy world needs peace people used to said this to me world peace world needs peace and i said to them and they were shocked and this is when i was very young i said to them you the peace that begins from the heart the peace that is innate to every human being the peace that can be that already is shining in the heart free single person on the face of this people say to me here that's all i know people say oh people will fight with each other how can there be peace i mean look what is happening and i'm supposed to go in a few days to israel and they're fighting attacking and so people ask me are you going to go are you going to go and when somebody comes along somebody comes along and just says you he was saying so what do you think about you know people who are atheists and people from different religion and this and this and this i said listen the problem isn't god please don't make god the problem god is not the problem the problem is the definition that people that is the problem also we have to find what peace is and i am saying others do those definitions and see the potential and the possibility of even have a name when you were born peace has a companion and peace has a companion called clarity and peace has a companion my friends i can say a lot of negative things about this world if i want to and i can stand here and paint a future that is really gloomy i could if i wanted to and i could point to all our mistakes that we have made that we should never have ever made if i wanted to but i'm not here but i'm here for the good news resides within inside of you and if you don't think that's good news i don't know of any greater than this is this is i can do telling the treasure hunter who has been hunting treasure for all his life oh by the way guess what we found in your backyard blackbeard treasure it was all there where does it begin if you understand what i am saying fundamentally understand what i am saying simply you know there was a little child went to the doctor said dr it hurts and the doctor said where does it hurt because everywhere i touch it hurts i touch my forehead it hurts i touch my cheek it hurt i touch my foot it hurt i touch my stomach it hurt i touch my ear it hurt and the doctor said i think your finger is broken the source of the pain the source of the pain is very simple it is the lack of your true i when i was about i think i was about ten years old and i was feeling very perky that day and i said you really want that question answered by a ten year old child you are so much older than i am i should be asking you questions not you asking me questions see in life understanding does not come as a flood sometimes understanding comes as a dr all the rain and i was coming here i was watching the reverse were starting to swell little little little little little little little little starting to swell but you know how i came here if you understand that the peace is within you and the thirst for peace is within you then you have taken the biggest step towards realizing peace you know how fortunate are those people who take the frame who take the time to even consider the possibility o salute you to them i applaud you because a lot of people don't have time for and when cities towns regions of countries and indeed countries become interested in peace then this surely surely has to be an incredibly great and hopeful sign that there are people who even t in this day and age echoed the voice of the same that through the ages have stood perhaps not heard but never silent that there should  be one day one day your voice will be heard and it will be heard loud and clear and you carry the torch of something greater than you can imagine you also carry that torch within you and do not forget whatever may happen whatever may come whatever may go the reality of it is your want for peace will be there the reason for peace will be there and the way to be able to fulfill that peace will also it guide you understand it understand its dynamics understand your humanity and understand your opportunity to have peace in your thank you very much
