If one studies the Bhagavad Gita, the Hindu spiritual scripture, one will come across the remedy for all conflict and the key to enlightenment. In Chapter 13, Verse 28 we read, “And when a man sees that the God in himself is the same God in all that is, he hurts not himself by hurting others: then he goes indeed to the highest Path.”

If all the warmongers of the world could read that and truly believe it, there would be no more wars on this planet. Nobody wants to hurt himself; the trouble is we do not believe that we are all one, united with each other and with God. It takes constant practice to remember this in all situations.

Yet, this is reiterated frequently in A Course in Miracles (ACIM). In Lesson 95 of the Workbook, we are asked to mentally repeat the following to others:

“You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self.

I honor you because of What I am, and What he is,

Who loves us both as One.”
