(Matthew 5:9)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>They are the real peacemakers who generate peace from their devotional practice of daily meditation. Peace is the first manifestation of God\u2019s response in meditation. Those who know God as Peace in the inner temple of silence, and who worship that Peace-God therein, are by this relationship of divine communion His true children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having felt the nature of God as inner peace, devotees want the Peace-God to be always manifest in their home, in the neighborhood, in the nation, among all nationalities and races. Anyone who brings peace to an inharmonious family has established God there. Anyone who removes the misunderstanding between souls has united them in God\u2019s peace. Anyone who, forsaking national greed and selfishness, works to create peace amidst warring nations, is establishing God in the heart of those nations. The initiators and facilitators of peace manifest the unifying Christ-love that identifies a soul as a child of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSon of God\u201d consciousness makes one feel love for all beings. Those who are God\u2019s true children cannot feel any difference between an Indian, American, or any other nationality or race. For a little while immortal souls are garbed in white, black, brown, red, or olive-colored bodies. Are people looked upon as variously foreign when they wear different colored clothes? No matter what one\u2019s nationality or the color of his body, all of God\u2019s children are souls. The Father recognizes no man-made designation; He loves all, and His children must learn to live in that same consciousness. When man confines his identity to his clannish human nature, it gives rise to unending evils and the specter of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human beings have been given potentially limitless power, to prove that they are indeed the children of God. In such technologies as the atomic bomb we see that unless man uses his powers rightly, he will destroy himself. The Lord could incinerate this earth in a second if He lost patience with His erring children, be He doesn\u2019t. And as He would never misuse His omnipotence, so we, being made in His image, must also behave like gods and conquer hearts with the power of love, or humanity as we know it will surely perish. Man\u2019s power to make war is increasing; so must his ability to make peace. The best deterrent against the threat of war is brotherhood, the realization that as God\u2019s children we are one family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who stirs up strife among brother nations under the guise of patriotism is a traitor to his divine family &#8211; a faithless child of God. Anyone who keeps family members, neighbor, or friends fighting through fostering falsehoods and gossip, or who is in any way a maker of disturbance, is a desecrator of God\u2019s temple of harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christ and the great ones have given the recipe for peace within and among individuals and nations. How long man has lived in the darkness of misunderstanding and ignorance of those ideals. The true Christ-method of living can banish human conflicts and the horror of war and bring about peace and understanding on earth; all prejudices and enmities must fall away. That is the challenge placed before those who would be the peacemakers of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>-The Second Coming of Christ by Paramhansa Yogananda <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Read the entire chapter for the complete commentary of the entire Beatitudes of Christ)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"843\" data-attachment-id=\"2024\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/sakshizion.com\/?attachment_id=2024\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?fit=636%2C1131\" data-orig-size=\"636,1131\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_4691\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?fit=474%2C843\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?resize=474%2C843\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?resize=576%2C1024 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?resize=169%2C300 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/img_4691.jpg?w=636 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called the children of God.
