TO RULE THE UNIVERSE - PEACE IS THE FORCE

QUOTE: Hatred never ceases by Hatred but by Love is Healed. This is the Ancient and Eternal law. Dhammapada

In the begining the God and godess held an election who would be best suited to rule the Universe.

The first Candidate was Agnidevaputra, the God of Fire. “I am the strongest”, he said, so I shall rule.

Witness my power. Then, a he begin to chant in a loud voice, ahuge fire rose up from the centre of the Universe and began to burn everywhere.

The other Gods and Godess trembled with fear and they all raised their hands to elect Agnidevaputra except Valahakedeputra the God of Water.

Valahakedeputra said, “I can control fire”. And immediately, he created a huge deluge to extinguish the fire.

As the water rose higher and higher, all the other God and Godess raised their hands to vote for him except Saradadevi. the Godess of Art and Wisdom.

Saradadevi said, fire and water can frighten and kill people but I give birth to beauty. When I begin to dance you will relax and completely forget Fire and Water.

Saradadevi then dance and sing and all the God and Godess became entranced. Instead of drinking water through their mouth,they begin pouring wine into their ears, eyes and nose.

Awed by Saradadevi power the God and Godess raised their hansd to vote except Gandharva, the God of Celestial Music.

Gandharva said “Woman can overcome Man, but Man can also overcome Woman”. Then he begin to play his Heavenly guitar and sing, all the God and Godess swooned as the music flowed through the hall.

As if in a stupor, they all raised their hands, except Santidevaputra, the God of Peace, Mindfulness and clear Comprehension.

Santidavaputra said, “I am the God of Peace. I always practice mindfulness and clear comprehension. Whether all vote for me or no, I rule Myself.

To rule the Universe, you must first rule Yourself. To rule Yourself, you must be able to rule your own mind.

To rule your mind, you must practice mindfulness and clear comprehension. Immediately all the God and Godess recognised Santidevaputra’s strength and elected him unanimously. They understand and realised that Peace is the strongest force of the world.

Be mindfulness to live happily and peacefully.
