Had peace been anywhere outside it would have been found, but it is the very essence and core of all beings and until we realize this it will elude us at every step. Hence the need for right gods, gurus and dharma who will guide us at every step to realize the peace within us, so as to be released from all external conditioning. Peace happens when love meets wisdom, knowledge meets character and mind meets the soul.
So, no matter who you are with, whether you are under the sun, what you do with life as long as you are at peace with yourself, self-realized and enlightened, calm and serene, cheerful and balanced, relaxed and helpful, undisturbed and unaffected by the adversities and prosperities that come your way, chosen by you in your ignorance in past lives. Now is the time to choose peace in wisdom, happiness, cheerfulness, forgiveness, contentment and spirituality. When you live, eat, walk, talk meditatively, peace manifests with ease and you enjoy what the most materially accomplished people fail to enjoy
Finally the mantra for Peace is REALISE YOURSELF, BE HAPPY AND DO GOOD. Be happy come what may, and do well to all the people you can, by all the means you can, at all the times you can and in all the places you can.
May peace be with all until we find peace. <>
Peace is in surrendering of the external self to the inner self, realizing
the potential of the supreme self within. Peace is in the bottom most part of your being
waiting to be tapped, yearning to manifest, waiting there for you to return to your eternal
home. The greatest journey is that which brings you to your eternal home and
this is possible only through peace.
