For violence to erupt provocation is enough; while for peace to prevail man has to nullify provocation with moderation and restraint.

People, who are alive to God’s silent but poignant message in na-ture, humble themselves before Him when signs like earthquakes man-ifest themselves. It is such people who will respond positively to God’s call.

If peace is to be maintained, negative thinking has to be suppressed and replaced with positive thinking.

Willingness to keep the peace—a matter of conscious decision-making—is a noble human quality. For peace, man has to curb his anger and be forgiving. He has to control his feelings of hatred and project feelings of love for others.
