'Meditation: Mechanism of Conflict Resolution'

In his on-stage discussion with Ray Dalio, the Prime Minister said that meditation could also be a means for conflict resolution. PM Modi said that meditation was important as it helps in having a balance in life along with the correct views. 

"So at that we should develop a mechanism of conflict resolution. I can speak from my experience, being a person related to meditation. Having the right balance in life and the right views of the world. When you observe the situation by detaching yourself, you end up walking towards the direction with balanced thoughts and meaningful decisions. During the entire process, the people who are associated with regular meditation feel particular energy within themselves. So yes, as you said correctly, meditation has its own importance. "
