Peace is a shoreless ocean - it
is the light that illuminates the world. |
Your lives are essentially of the
nature of Peace (Shanthi). Your nature is essentially Love; your hearts
are saturated with Truth. Rid yourselves of the impediments that prevent
their manifestation, you do not make any attempt towards this and so,
there is no Peace or Love or Truth in the home, the Community, the Nation
and the World. |
You chant, "Peace, Peace, Peace"
- i.e. three times after meditation, Bhajan etc., By merely uttering
thrice with your tongue, you cannot obtain or ensure peace. The significance
of the three chants is that man is in need of three kinds of peace (I)
Adhibhoutik - peace unhampered by other beings, (ii) Adhyatmik - peace
undistrubed by one's own body and mind (iii) Adhidaivik - peace undistrubed
by forces beyond human control. Of these three, "Adhi-daivi"
signifies the need for Divine Grace which can be earned only by absolute
surrender to God. |
Peace comes from within. Contentment
is a mental condition. Do not feed the roots of attachment to worldly
comforts, more than is absolutely necessary. They lead only to anxiety
and fear, they can never satisfy the innermost craving of man. Lead
them into the path of devotion and dedication; that will be for them
the path of content and joy. Emphasise the universal Self Principle,
encourage prayer, meditation. Quiet contemplation of grandeur and glory
of God, reflected in Nature, repetition of the Name of the Lord, encourage
silence and solitude, for the sake of introspection and contact with
the springs of joy inherent in man. |
If you are at peace with yourself,
you will discern peace all around. |
Peace is the characteristic of the
mind of Man. That is the innate quality of the mind. In order to search
for peace there is no need to go anywhere else, as gold and silver lie
hiddenunder the earth and pearl and coral under the sea, Peace and joy
also lie hidden in the activities of the Mind. Desirous of acquiring
these hidden treasures, if one dives and turns mental activities inward,
then, he becomes full of Prema or Love |
Supari (Betel Nut) is brown, paan
(betel leaves) is green, chunam is white, but, when these are chewed
together, the color is red. When the three gunas- Satwa, Rajas and Tamas
are equated in Sadhana the result is Shanthi. |
