"To end the cycle of war, we must dissolve the mental and political borders that divide us, recognizing the earth as one. Only then can true peace emerge, for as long as nations exist, turmoil will persist."
According to Osho, the very question is misplaced: as long as nations exist, attack and defense ensure endless turmoil. Neither taking up the sword nor refusing it has ended suffering. He refuses the physical sword and urges a subtler one - erasing mental and political borders, dissolving nationalism, and affirming the earth as one. Only by ending the lines that divide us will wars cease; otherwise, peace-talk merely fuels preparation for war.
Instead of asking how to fight for a country, stop making countries in your mind so there is no enemy to fight.
