Eknath EaswaranStichwörter: suffering
Around the world–even in some of the countries most troubled by poverty or civil war or pollution–many thoughtful people are making a deep, concerted search for a way to live in harmony with each other and the earth. Their efforts, which rarely reach the headlines, are among the most important events occurring today.

They are simply quiet people changing the world by changing themselves.
