World peace ...
only through sharing
Between 1977 and 1982, Maitreya
telepathically communicated fragments of His teachings to Benjamin Creme at Creme's
regular public meetings in London. A recurrent theme was the need to end the suffering of
millions of people who go hungry or starve in our world, which actually has a surplus of
food. This imbalance is one of the primary reasons why Maitreya returns at this time.
"How" Maitreya asks, "can you be content with the modes within
which you now live: when millions starve and die in squalor; when the rich parade their
wealth before the poor; when each man is his neighbor's enemy; when no man trusts his
brother? For how long must you live thus my friends? For how long can you support this
degradation?"
Since that message was given in 1979, we have been shocked by the horror of
recurring famine in Africa and the ongoing misery in other nations. Gradually we have come
to recognize that world hunger is unnecessary--as well as immoral--since it is due not to
a lack of food or food production capabilities, but to the social, political and economic
injustices that produce poverty. It is the poor who go hungry, whether in a `developed' or
`developing' nation, and both domestic and international institutions maintain and
exacerbate that poverty. Thus the gap between rich and poor grows ever wider; it now
represents the single greatest threat to world peace.
Among the attitudes that keep these institutions in place is complacency. Maitreya
calls complacency the root of all evil in the world. It leads both individuals and
institutions "to become estranged from the realities of life," and it prevents
us from finding effective solutions to our problems. "Complacency is
ultimatelyself-destructive, and whole societies can be destroyed by it."
Maitreya makes clear that we can, if we choose, change our ways and put an end to
hunger and to the monumental array of man-made crises we now face:
"The problems of mankind are real but solvable. The solution lies within
your grasp. Take your brother's need as the measure for your action and solve the problems
of the world. There is no other course."
When we begin to follow this advice and institute the principle of sharing, peoples and
nations will begin to trust one another; once there is trust, there will be justice; and
once there is justice for all, we will have a genuine and lasting peace.
"Without sharing there can be no justice; without justice there can be no peace;
without peace there can be no future."
 "When He comes at the close of this century and makes His
power felt He will come as the Teacher of Love and Unity, and the keynote He will strike
will be regeneration through love poured forth on all...
"It is a fallacy to believe, as some do, that the main trend of Christ's work will
be through the medium of the churches or the world religions...He will use all available
channels whereby the consciousness of man may be enlarged and right orientation be brought
about...the churches are but one of the teaching avenues He will employ...
"It is light and--above all else--"life more abundantly" which Christ
will bring, and until He brings it we know not what it signifies; we cannot realise the
revelation which this will entail and the new possibilities which will open up before us.
But through Him, light and life are on their way, to be interpreted and applied in terms
of goodwill and of right human relations. (The Master DK)
