Each time I think in retrospect about a retreat, I reflect on how all those present, strangers to one another, gather around Master in peace and harmony. The world around us may have changed very little, but our inner world has become more peaceful since we began to practice spiritually. For this reason, in our eyes the world has also become more peaceful. I do not know what others may think but I do know that I am at peace. Now I understand what Master meant when She said: "The more spiritual practitioners there are, the more harmonious is the world."
