And she is so full of peace that thought she pressed her flesh, her nerves, her bones, no other thing come forth from them than peace.

This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.
