Peace

We live in the atmosphere which we build by meditation for the whole day. We don’t forget meditation even in dreams, even in our worldly activities, and we try to deal with people in the light of that meditation. Our dealings should be straight, in fact our whole way of life should be straight. That is real meditation. Merely closing ourselves in a room for a couple of hours and then forgetting the path for the rest of the day is not real meditation. Its effect should be with us all the time. It is a very hard struggle, but we have to retain the atmosphere that we build in meditation.
_{Maharaj Charan Singh, Die to Live}

What is peace? When we have no desires. When we have no anxiety.… Only when you become desireless can you be at peace.… As long as the tendency of the mind is downward from here toward the senses … we will never be at peace. But when we are able to withdraw ourselves from the senses to the eye centre and become one with the audible life stream or that Shabd, with that divine light within, then automatically your mind will be at peace.
