If violence in the world is to be truly overcome, then man must overcome his fears to some extent. He must grow beyond it and leave his fearful mind, the tool of the survival instinct, to a large extent behind him. In the end, it is the much quoted and much ridiculed active love that holds the key to peace. For: if we free ourselves from the clutches of the mind and leave behind fear, greed, envy, resentment, anger, wanting, manipulating, lying, hatred, self-aggrandizement and mistrust, what then remains that we can offer to our fellow creatures? Is this then not life in oneness – in all-embracing love? Is this then not paradise on earth? – In order to create this paradise, man must transform himself to a certain extent into a soul being. He must become a soul being on earth.
Active love means freedom from fear. Freedom from fear means security. Security in creation means peace.
