Here are some excerpts from his talk:

All of you who feel victimized by this world, remember this. Nobody can steal your contentment away from you. You can give it away, you can abandon it, but nobody can take it away. The happiness of this heart — nobody can take that away from you. No one.

As a human being, are you, in your life, willing to turn within? Or have you accepted that everything that will come your way will come from the outside? If you look to the outside for everything — including your peace, including your happiness — you will be disappointed, because it cannot come from outside.

Something inside of you gets very happy when you acknowledge the present. ‘Today I will be conscious, today I will try my best to be clear. Today I will try to understand. Today I will feel my presence here. On this earth. My presence: not somebody else’s presence. My presence.’

Here are some excerpts from his talk:

It is human beings who decide to start wars and, if they want — in the next five minutes — all war could be stopped. War is not a supernatural phenomenon that nobody has any control over. These guns don’t do it by themselves. Somebody has to pull the trigger. If all the people of this earth in unison were to say, ‘Stop it,’ it would be stopped. It would.

This war that rages inside of you is sometimes just as dangerous as any war fought on the outside. And the innocent are killed in this war, too. The innocent are this breath, this time, this possibility of peace. They are sacrificed in the arrogance of the war of confusion. Clarity is therefore mandatory.

You need to see who you really are. ‘Know thyself.’ It will bring you joy, it will bring you clarity, it will bring you understanding. You will know who you are, and how blessed you are. That’s what ‘Know thyself’ means.

Mr. Rawat’s remarks offered a clear and challenging perspective. “If we have the power to make such a mess out of this earth, then certainly we have enough power to bring peace to this earth, too,” he said. “The question remains whether or not it is something that we want to do, because peace begins with every one of you. It is individual human beings who need peace; it is individual human beings in whom the desire resides; and it is on the individual human being’s stage that peace needs to dance.”

This is not an introductory event — it is for those who are already familiar with Maharaji and his message.

In the peaceful village of Sondrio, Italy, in the foothills of the Alps, government officials and townspeople alike gathered to honor Prem Rawat’s efforts to encourage world peace: a peace that begins with each individual.

On the invitation of the Sondrio Town Hall and under the patronage of the Province of Sondrio, the Lombardy Region, and the Ministry of Justice, Prem Rawat arrived in this northern city on June 22, 2010. In a private meeting of the Sondrio City Council, officials graciously awarded him the title “Ambassador of Peace in the World” and presented him with a symbolic gift from the nearby city of Tirano as well as a plaque from Lombardy adorned with the official symbol of the region, the Camuna Rose.

Later on, over 600 people gathered in the city square to listen to Prem Rawat speak. In a brochure announcing the event, Mayor Alcide Molteni of Sondrio had expressed that, “Prem Rawat speaks right to people’s hearts, inspiring them to undertake a journey that begins with the consciousness of one’s self and the ability to feel grateful for the very fact of being alive.”

True to the Mayor’s words, Prem Rawat’s talk offered an encouraging perspective on world peace beginning with each person. The audience listened intently as he spoke. “We all want the manifestations of peace on the outside,” he said. “We know that if people have peace, then there will be prosperity. But how do you begin to manifest peace on the outside if it is not on the inside of each individual human being?

“Peace begins with every individual,” he continued. “Begin with yourself, looking for the answers within you. If nothing else, you will have taken the first step. And the journey of a thousand steps begins with the first one.”

Journalists who followed the event for the local press were impressed by Mr. Rawat’s charisma, his wit and irony, and his straight and effective way of communicating that could reach “even the driest heart.”
