Peace cannot be achieved through hatred, violence, unhealthy competition or selfish acts. Only spiritually enlightened people who have shed hatred and who have no enemies to hate can enjoy and spread peace.
Many great movements for a just and egalitarian society have failed due to indulgence in violence as a means to achieve prosperity. POEM movement therefore gives the highest priority for avoiding violence of all forms and kinds.
Thoughts of violence and hatred can take roots only in a mind that has not forgiven its perceived offenders.
If you think that someone has inflicted pain on you by words or actions the natural tendency is to dislike him. That dislike grows as pain and hatred tempting to retaliate and payback by inflicting greater pain on the offender who will try to hit back trying to inflict even more severe severe pain on you. This pain-hatred-retaliation – pain cycle is the process that keeps the life filled with conflict. Hatred tarnishes the pure nature of man and blurs his image, like mud thrown on the surface of a mirror. A human mind that hate is like a stained royal robe of a noble king.
