This is one of the most fundamental principles that he taught us. It is a very profound principle. You cannot bestow on others what you do not possess. Unless you possess peace, you cannot give peace to others. Swami Vishnudevananda taught that the key to external peace is inner peace. Once inner peace is found, it can be given to others, it can be shared with others.
—From Swami Swaroopananda: “Unity In Diversity: Hope in Troubled Times“ in the new Spring issue of Parabola: “Burning World.”
