If the nations truly aspire for peace, they ought to build themselves on the principles of non-violence. Because, non-violent nations do not require peace treaties. They are the very basis of peace from which peace spreads and pervades the rest of the world. The possibility of the permanent peace depends upon the human nature. Human nature is essentially peace loving. The way of world peace lies in cultivating the spirit of non-violence and peace in the hearts of the people. As the individuals are built, so the nations are built. As the nations are built, so the world is built. Because, "There is not one law for the atom and another for the universe".
