Today, there is an atmosphere of despondency all around and most of the people believe that the evil has overtaken the virtue. Though this in itself is a subject of discussion, but even if it is true, such belief only strengthens the negative forces and in the process, the positive forces get discouraged. The problem is further compounded by the fact that most of those who believe like this take no steps to change this situation. Even those few who think of taking some steps, do not proceed much as they do not find the atmosphere conducive. In such a situation the question arises how to solve the problem and further, who would do so.
We feel that the situation is not so horrible as it appears. No doubt that today the negative forces are raising their head but such has been the situation always in one form or the other. It is also true that in the end, the negative forces have to face only defeat. Therefore, firstly, it is necessary to believe that the negative thinking is a symbol of ignorance and those who think negative only harm themselves. On the other hand, though the positive thinking may not appear rewarding in the short run, eventually our welfare lies only in the positive thinking. It is also true, there is no dearth of positive forces in the society. Had it been so, the creation would have ceased to exist. If at a point of time, negative forces appear to be flourishing, it is only a process of their destruction.
Therefore it is very essential that, first of all, we make our thinking positive so that the process of establishing peace in the society is expedited. `Kabir Peace Mission' was established in the year 1990 with this objective in mind and since then, this mission is humbly endeavouring in this direction. The results of our endeavour have been very encouraging and this gives us motivation to work further. We believe that more important than ‘Gross National Income' is `Gross National Happiness'. In the absence of peace, money loses its importance and happiness eludes us. The purpose of naming the mission after `Kabir' is that our central point is man and we consider him above any religion, caste or nation. For us peace has a comprehensive meaning and we see it as an integrated development. This is possible only when our life has a clear mission.
`Mission' is taking several steps for achieving its objective. Among them, publicity and extension of inspirational books is a major one. From this viewpoint, the mission has published many books and the process is on. We also promote the publicity and extension of other similar books. The mission is specially engaged in making the thinking of young students positive. We believe that the future of the country and the world is in the hands of today's children. The effort made on them, is therefore, the best investment. In addition, we are trying to make every work place, be it in any field, positive. For this we organise special lectures, seminars, discussions and other programmes. We also honour the positive forces of the society from time to time. In this humble effort of ours, we need the cooperation of all. We believe that essentially every man or woman is divine and virtues are hidden in all. If their virtues can be brought out, every one's contribution becomes positive. Our request is that we must also see the positive side of every situation so that inspiration and the strength to overcome the negative side is generated. We shall be very happy to extend any cooperation in this effort of yours. Our mission has the cooperation and the blessings of many and this is our real asset. This is what we expect from you also.
