In the rampant violence-stricken areas of Jharkhand he has made but
a small dent by getting some Maoists to give up arms. Post reform they have
floated a party- Jharkhand Vikas Party (JVP) - all set to contest the next
elections convinced of the supremacy of the ballot over bullet. He says among
the reformed is a commander who has a large following and this could be a
beginning.
This is just a small step for Sri Sri Ravishankar, Founder of the Art of Living
Foundation, who has already made many a stride in crisis-affected areas

The emotional side of it has to be considered. If you observe carefully there is a stream of emotions behind an intellectual argument. Life is a fine balance between the emotions and the intellect. When to use what, is the real wisdom. And how do you gain that wisdom? The answer is meditation,meditation and meditation.
If you ask anyone who has done any type of mediation would agree. Having spent a lot of time in the courts and with people who meditate and as a practicing meditator I have often heard people say that my relationships with people have improved after taking up meditation.
