Men however have equipped themselves with deadly weapons and have the capability to annihilate entire nations thousands of miles away. During the second World War these weapons caused immense suffering to millions of people. Such unimaginable horror can be brought about even though only a few people carry feelings of hatred and distrust. Examples abound of patriotism whipped up as hatred disguised in acceptable terms and commended with stripes, medals and sweet hymns or political rewards. All sophisticated arms and atom bombs in the hands of modern men are bound to prove self destructive.
Conflicts are outward expressions of inner conflict and tension prevailing in the mind.
When the mind is enraged, it gets on our nerves, and we lose peace of mind. We ourselves are going to be badly hurt by the force of anger before it does harm to others. The basic approach of Hinduism is always directed towards the perfection of the individual self to bring peace and harmony in the society at large. Man is expected to raise his level of consciousness to the sublime state of bliss, from the microcosmic to the macrocosmic. To those who are enlightened and noble, the whole world is one family.
