.             The Milky Way galaxy  Many of us travel a good distance every day. Some about 100 km and some other much above it. The actual journey we make is not in hundreds or thousands but in millions of kilometres. For example, when we go to sleep at 10.00 pm we are at a place. When we wake up at 6.00 am next day we are at a different place. That is, during the sleep of 8 hrs we traveled a distance of 24,293,360 kilometres. It is not an imaginary figure but a scientifically approved fact. We may go through the following scientific data. Earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 1670 km/hr. The circumference of earth being 40,075 we all travel this distance or something less depending upon our location on the earth. The earth orbit round the sun at a speed of 107,000 km/hr. In 365 days our mother earth travels a distance of 940 million km  Then comes the solar system consisting of the sun, planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids...

Before answering the question, 'shall we ever have peace?', we must know what is peace. The outcome of our efforts yield us contentment. When we are fully contented with our efforts we become happy. When this happiness mount we become peaceful. Peace is a state of mind that most of us have not enjoyed. We do not get peace because we are always pushed away from acquiring it by our fellow men and the materials around. We are normally more concerned about unearned things than those earned by us. We set our targets to things that are away from us. We keep endeavouring to acquire those. In most cases we do not get contented with these efforts and get despaired. In fact when we have more things we get less peace and when we have less things we have more peace. Finally when we have nothing we become peaceful. This must be the reason that we do not have peace. Above all peace is the one that we can carry from this world when we return. Peace is the one that we can buy too. ...

Many of us possess land, building, pool, trees etc on this earth. All these are unequivocally belong to us. We hold sufficient documents to confirm these belongings. All those around accept and admit our ownership. Here comes a question whether these ownership rights and claims are real or imaginary. The simple answer is none of these belong to any of us. The sole owner of all these including the 'You and I' bodies too are owned, nurtured, managed, converted and reconverted by Mother Earth. All have come from her, fed by her and shall return to her. The Mother is taking the help and protection of other great bodies of this universe. Nothing on this earth belongs to man. Each one of us may ask himself as to what is the most precious possession for him for the time being. It is neither land, building, metal, automobiles nor any such things we imagine are our valuable possession. Our most valuable possession for the time being is nothing but the air in our lungs.
