All spiritual teachings are only meant to make us retrace our steps to our Original Source. We need not to acquire anything new, only give up false ideas and useless accretions. Instead of doing this, we try to grasp something strange and mysterious because we believe happiness lies elsewhere.

Be the Change you want to see in the World
~ Mahatma Gandhi

The question of real, lasting, world peace
concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also it’s roots.

Then gradually extended to include our families, our communities
and ultimately the whole planet.
