Words from the Master

Again and again, scan your mind and see what it is that gives you joy. Then, start following it. Once something inside you tells you that you are moving towards a sense of permanent joy in you, once you find conviction in yourself, re-position and adjust the matters concerning your life, orienting them towards this bliss. Every action or thought of yours should be towards feeling this bliss. Energy spent will then be energy gained. You will be always energetic.

Some people say that they want to be left peaceful without worries. The peace they are talking about is not a living peace; it is a dead peace. It is a lifeless and dormant peace as a result of not knowing how to handle the various emotions in life. It is a peace that they crave for because life is too much for them to handle. It is like saying ‘sour grapes’ and moving away.

Real peace is something that is in you all the time irrespective of what is going on outside; you are simply happy unto yourself; you simply look at anyone and anything like a passing breeze that kisses you and goes by. Whatever may be the person or thing, your peace remains with you. People or circumstances do not alter it in any fashion.

Peace is nothing but the bliss that is felt inside yourself. When peace is born out of bliss, it keeps you and others in a peaceful state. Once you have found this peace within yourself, you will never say things like, “Leave me in peace, I want to be in peace” etc. The moment you say these things, it means that you are trying to be peaceful at others’ mercy, which is not peace at all.

Peace is a solid center that develops within you that keeps you happy unto yourself always. Anything that happens outside will be just another incident that’s all. You will not even relate it with your peace. The moment you relate an incident with your peace be very clear, real peace has not happened in you.
