A Righteous Life Leads To Peace

Human values cannot be promoted merely by repeating the words Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa. The Vedas declare- "Sathyam vada Dharmam chara" (Speak the truth; adhere to right conduct). In practising Dharma there should be no marina (secret desires). Actions performed with such secret motives result in bondage. Truth and right conduct should be adhered to with pure intentions. Both of them are rooted in the eternal.

A righteous life leads to peace. Love is to be experienced in the depths of peace. Love should find expression in nonviolence. Where love prevails, there is no room for doing harm or violence to others. All these basic values have to be demonstrated in action and not limited to preaching.
