Harmony is essential for achieving peace from "summary" of The Art of Peace by Morihei Ueshiba
In the practice of the Art of Peace, we must seek to create harmony within ourselves and with others. This harmony is not a mere absence of conflict, but rather a state of balance and unity that allows for true peace to flourish. When we are in harmony with ourselves, we are better able to understand our own needs and desires, as well as those of others. This understanding allows us to act with compassion and empathy, rather than with anger or aggression. Harmony is essential for achieving peace because it allows us to see the interconnectedness of all things. When we recognize that we are all part of the same larger whole, we are more inclined to act in ways that benefit the greater good. This sense of interconnectedness helps us to overcome feelings of division and separation, which are often at the root of conflict and violence. In order to cultivate harmony, we must learn to let go of our ego and our attachment to our own desires. By releasing our need to control or dominate others, we create space for cooperation and collaboration. This spirit of cooperation is essential for building lasting peace, as it allows us to work together towards common goals and shared values. When we are in harmony with others, we are able to communicate openly and honestly, resolving conflicts through dialogue rather than through force. This type of communication requires us to listen deeply to the perspectives of others, seeking to understand their point of view and find common ground. Through this process, we can build trust and mutual respect, laying the foundation for peaceful coexistence.- Harmony is not something that can be imposed from the outside – it must come from within. By cultivating a sense of inner peace and balance, we can radiate this energy outwards, creating a ripple effect that can transform our relationships and our communities. In this way, harmony becomes a powerful force for achieving true and lasting peace.
