Every person is between two things, his own desire and the external situation. Simply by running after one’s own desires one cannot achieve one’s goals. One must know the external situation, the external circumstances; the external opportunities. You can achieve your personal target only by taking into consideration the external factors. It is this realistic approach that is called the wise approach.
Death is a journey towards the most difficult stage of life. It signifies one’s entrance – in a state of total powerlessness, destitution and help¬lessness – to the next world. There is a limit to every hardship we bear on earth; but death will make us enter a world of unlimited hardships and difficulties.
Mahatma Gandhi wrote in his autobiography: “My hesitancy in speech, which was once an annoyance, is now a pleasure. Its greatest benefit has been that it has taught me the economy of words. I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. And I can now give myself a certificate that a thoughtless word hardly ever escaped my tongue or pen.”
Justice is an indirect result of peace and not the direct result, so the formula is like this: establish peace by accepting injustice for a temporary period. Peace will open the doors of opportunities and by availing the opportunities we can reach our goal, that is,justice.
