Unless and until we have peace deep within us, we can never hope to have peace in the outer world. You and I create the world by the vibrations that we offer to it. If we can invoke peace and then offer it to somebody else, we will see how peace expands from one to two persons, and gradually to the world at large. Peace will come about in the world from the perfection of individuals. If you have peace, I have peace, he has peace, and she has peace, then automatically universal peace will dawn. Sri Chinmoy
About This Quote

The quote one of the most famous quotes by Mahatma Gandhi. It means that if we wish to bring peace to the world, we must first learn peace within ourselves. To be happy at peace within yourself is to be one with everyone else. If you are happy, then it must reflect onto others. Although Gandhi was the one who said this quote, he also said another one, “If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your neighbor.” It means that you should not harm anyone but try to help them in whatever way you can.
