Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Shanthi Even the most comfortable house equipped with all the luxuries man craves for, cannot endow one with Shanti (peace and contentment). That can be won only by surrender to God, who is the very core of one's being. God is the source of contentment. Attaining Him, the spirit can be immersed in joy. God alone feeds all with Ananda (bliss). If God is not shining in the firmament of the heart, how can one even live? The Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) who wants to attain Shanti (peace) has to constantly practise a virtuous life, overcoming all the initial obstacles. Shanti is like a mountain rock. It can stand up against the continuous floods of temptation from evil. This Prashanti (supreme peace) need not be sought anywhere outside. It emanates from the Antahkarana (inner self) itself. If you want peace to reign in the world, then you should first develop peace in yourself. Where is peace? It emanates from our heart. The heart is the source of peace, truth, righteousness and love. You are ignoring the heart and are searching for peace in the external world. Only when you fill your heart with love will there be peace in the world. Whatever work you do, do it with love. The world is in turmoil today as man lacks pure love. Peace will reign supreme in this world only when man develops pure love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
