The Attitude Assailed According to them inward peace therefore depends upon external conditions and circumstances. But the truth is otherwise. Inward peace is not a commodity. For inward peace one should look within. It comes from within.
Inward peace is an achievement.
It is possible even when an individual is engaged in a relentless war for bread, butter and work. It is true that social circumstance and economic conditions profoundly mould and modify human responses. It may be true that unjust economic conditions create maladjustment leading to conflict - but it is also true that if the people constituting society , are insecure economically, spiritually and emotionally, society will tend to be insecure. In any scheme of social peace it is of utmost importance that the people comprising society should be rescued and freed from the civil war within themselves. A co-operative world will remain merely a dream or an illusion so long as the people are corroded within themselves by the acids of negative thoughts, undesirable desires, fantastic fancies, self pity and self aggrandisement.
