What exactly is
"Peace"? It is the stage in which the senses are mastered and held in
balance.
"Shanthi" or peace is the resolution of all the welter and conflict of
human emotions into the basic attitude of peace.
Shanthi is the innate nature of the Self, it can co-exist only with a
pure, unselfish heart devoid of greed and desires.
For the greatest happiness is Shanthi, inner peace. How do you get it?
By knowing that you are the atma which has no birth or death, no joy
or grief, no up and no down.
His real nature is Shanthi. To recover his heritage of Shanthi, man
tries various methods, accumulation of riches, maintenance of health,
mastery of knowledge, cultivation of the arts.
To get Shanthi, Prema is the only means. The fuel Prema yields the
divine flame of Shanthi. Prema brings about unity of all mankind and
unity combined with spiritual knowledge will bring about world peace.
When love is shared peace reigns.
Genuine Shanthi is won by the control of the senses only.
It is another name for purposeful living. Shanthi is the authority
under which the rule of ananda prevails, it is the most precious
treasure.
Speak sweet and soft and spread joy and peace around you.
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
