“Holiness–or wholeness as people prefer to say today–requires a degree of inner and outer peace that respects the at times conflicting, though not contradictory, demands of body, mind, and spirit. The first requirement for this peace or harmony is order in human living and a right use of time.”
Note to self: The little things make a difference in the big picture.
Peace, Harmony, fulfillment, happiness, whatever you want to call it, does not come from “order in human living and right use of time”. Order and right use of time, if that is a goal, would come from a person experiencing peace within themselves. Order in human affairs and right use of time (whatever that is) would be a manifestation of a person experiencing inner peace.
I don’t know what outer peace would be. The only peace I know is that which is a feeling within me. It is a feeling – not an external thing. People talk about world peace. What is that? How do you define it? Absence of war? The war is always there even if it is only in the minds of men. “World peace” is only possible when the humans on this planet are actually experiencing a feeling of peace within there own selves.
