Attain To Peace Through Love



The human being is so designed that he can derive ananda or bliss and maintain it through association with his kind, as in satsang. To divest yourself of all contacts with others, and tread a lonely path is a sign of weakness, of fear, not of courage. Lively association alone produces morality, justice, compassion, sympathy, love, tolerance, equanimity and many other qualities that toughen and train character, and mould the human personality. Culture is the consequence of the co-mingling of hearts and heads.


A group of individuals, who are charged with hatred or contempt of each other, cannot produce any beneficial effect on any of its components; a common outlook, or rather, a common ‘inlook’, is the essential factor, Sama chinta -- sameness of beliefs, opinions and attitudes -- is the prime factor. Sama chinta must result in a flood of ananda that envelops and enthuses the entire group. If the individual knows he is divine and that all else are equally so, that consciousness is the best bond for society; that ananda is the best atmosphere to sustain people. How can a person who knows that all are divine keep away from the God he recognises? "I am he, he is I, both I and he are kith and kin in Him." This awareness is so thrilling, so satisfying and uplifting, that such a society is the noblest satsang.

Shutting yourself in a room and offering incense and flowers to a deity or picture, singing or reciting God’s glory are poor substitutes for discipline that liberates you from ignorance.

All beings are the images of God; then, why shut yourselves in? All Creation is marching on a pilgrimage to the Creator; why then behave as if you are trekking it alone? You believe that the time spent in church, temple or domestic shrine in adoration and in ritual worship is devoted to God and the rest is spent for other purposes. But, you cannot demarcate and delimit the realms of Divinity and human beings like that. God is ever with you everywhere.

You have all the resources you need, with within you. You can tap them by identifying them and then manifesting them, and by sharing them with others. God is Sat, Chit and Ananda -- Being, Awareness, Bliss Absolute. He is Shiva-Shakthi swaruupa , the Divine Energy.  

You are destined for divinity. When the Divine takes on human form as described in epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the Bhagavatam, one has to interpret the actions as providing examples and lessons, and not as human stories enacted for entertainment…

A heart saturated with love of God can never entertain thoughts of violence. God is love, peace, and strength. A tree is judged by its fruit. Leaders of people have to develop this universal feeling of love, not limited to political boundaries which change from decade to decade, or religious labels which are affixed and erased to suit temporary needs. The prayer that rose from millions in this country from all its temples, holy seafronts, shrines and altars for centuries, has been Sarvejanaah sukhino bhavanthu – ‘Let all the people of the world be happy and prosperous’; samasthalokaah sukhino bhavanthu – ‘May all the worlds have peace and prosperity.’ So, pray for all humanity, for everyone’s welfare and happiness; for  peace and progress of all countries of the world, and all beings everywhere.
