00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
This was another story
that he told me
2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.160
about an ancient
Indian king.
3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.960
The king went to this sage
and asked him
4
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.480
the meaning of peace.
5
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.599
The sage ran
to the back of the house
6
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.120
and came back
with a grain of wheat
7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.800
and placed the grain
of wheat on the king's palm
8
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.920
and said,
"Here is your answer."
9
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.679
He quietly took
that grain of wheat
10
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.039
and ran back
to the palace
11
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.679
and he put that grain
in a gold box.
12
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.240
As long as you keep this
grain of wheat in this box,
13
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.840
nothing is going to happen.
It will eventually perish.
14
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.439
But if you had planted
this grain of wheat
15
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.840
in the soil outside
and let it interact
16
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.600
with all the elements,
17
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.280
it would sprout
and grow and very soon
18
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.240
you could have
a whole field of wheat.
19
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.479
And that is
the meaning of peace.
20
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.320
It would spread
and one day
21
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.759
the whole world
will become peaceful.
