Report: Event in Barcelona, Spain - July 2010

On a hot evening on July 4, close to 3,000 people from across Europe gathered at the CCIB Forum (Centro de Congresos Internacional de Barcelona) on Barcelona's seafront to listen to Maharaji. In a wide-ranging talk touching on subjects spanning from the recession to war and peace, he spoke of the need for people to live consciously.

Here are some excerpts from his talk:

It is human beings who decide to start wars and, if they want — in the next five minutes — all war could be stopped. War is not a supernatural phenomenon that nobody has any control over. These guns don't do it by themselves. Somebody has to pull the trigger. If all the people of this earth in unison were to say, 'Stop it,' it would be stopped. It would.

This war that rages inside of you is sometimes just as dangerous as any war fought on the outside. And the innocent are killed in this war, too. The innocent are this breath, this time, this possibility of peace. They are sacrificed in the arrogance of the war of confusion. Clarity is therefore mandatory.

You need to see who you really are. 'Know thyself.' It will bring you joy, it will bring you clarity, it will bring you understanding. You will know who you are, and how blessed you are. That's what 'Know thyself' means.

I was fortunate enough to attend this truly moving event. When we look around, all of us need hope. That's what Prem Rawat does, brings each individual hope- hope for whatever it is they are to learn in their journey on this path called life on earth 2010. I am so glad I can listen to him and honoured when I can see him.

What a clean and beautiful presentation, much more a supplement to the video streams that the former almost competing event reports. Something wonderful seems to happen, thank you, Birger, CPH
