Christmas Gems (2) - Peace

"Everybody clamours for peace, saying "I want peace." But can peace be found in the

external world, which is only filled with pieces?

Peace has to be found within oneself by getting rid of the "I" and desire.

Peace is being destroyed by the ego and by insatiable desires.

Restrain your desires.

Man is haunted by endless worries of many kinds.

Only by turning his mind towards God can he get rid of the worries.

Men have to reduce desires and cultivate vairagya (detachment)

so that they can have real peace of mind."


~ Baba ~

(Christmas Message - 25.12.89)
