After every great war, the peace is greeted with joy, elation, happiness, love and love-making. The images of warm embrace and the anticipation of normal everydayness appear in their beauty. The simple life of work and play could never be more welcome.
In like manner when the wars we fight everyday in our minds, with our bodies, politically, with loved ones, friends and family, come to an end in awakening, the same peace arrives.
There are the hot wars of the great military powers and there are the 'hot' wars of ego, idea, desire and possessiveness. Which is worse may not be as obvious as it may look. It may well be that the hot wars of armies arises out of and are fueled by the hot wars of ego, identity, fear and anger.
So just as we see the peace at the end of the bloody wars of empires so also we see the peace at the end of the battle of ego, within each ego and and between egos and beyond ego.
But in the end we need not fight wars nor fight for peace. Letting being be in its nature allows the shining of the light of lights, the Life beyond all living, here and now, within and without.
Meditation is the perfection beyond war and peace.
