Manthan!

The other day, I was roaming around in search of some peace. Subsequently, I saw a mid-age lady coming towards me. I asked her, "Ma'am, where can I find some peace here?" and she said, "my dear, peace is right here, in your heart!". She continued, "If your heart is at peace, there is peace everywhere in this world!". That did not go down well with me. I kept walking. After some time I met a mid-age man, a businessman kind. I asked him, "Sir, Where can I find some peace here?". "Young man, its here. in your mind! realize it and you shall feel at peace even in the crowded train!". I was not quite convinced with it, but this activity was interesting for sure. I continued walking around to find more people and their versions. Little while later I met a priest. I asked him the same question. Where can I find peace? "Its In the church. My dear son, confess of all the sins you have done, and you shall be free of them. You can then feel the peace", he said. I resumed my search. Then, I met a Shepherd and upon asking the same question he replied, "Oh! Peace.. Its there in the mountains, on the other side of the river!". He continued, "I can take you there. I go there every week with my sheep"……

Peace is not what you think, because my perception of peace is different than yours. Peace is not what I think, because someone else's perception of peace differs from mine.

I wonder what exactly they do in the peace process? Is it convincing others of how my perception of peace is right or it is better than yours? or something of that kind...
