This would be a very crucial round of talks and could determine which way the peace process moves from here on.

Praag would be playing the role of a facilitator or a peace broker and he is expected to submit a list of independent proposals to resolve the problem in fresh talks next month. The proposals may not be acceptable to us or to the Indian government, but his impartial role we believe could bring in positive results and also help patching up differences between our group and New Delhi.

We are not going to extend the ceasefire just for the sake of extending it. We would like the Indian government to come up with a concrete solution or else we are prepared for any eventuality.

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.

May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; may peace rule in states and in the lands of the potentates; may peace rule in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies

I am at peace with myself.
