 On Inner Peace

Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all.
It is peace itself.
It is the actualization of wisdom,
The ultimate truth of the oneness of all things.
-Dogen-

In solitude be a multitude to oneself.
-Tibullus-

Self-enquiry is the process and the goal also. "I am" is the goal and the final reality.

It is not the worship of a person that is crucial, but the steadiness and depth of your devotion to the task. Life itself is the Supreme Guru; be attentive to its lessons and obedient to its commands. When you personalize their source, you have an outer Guru; when you take them from life directly, the Guru is within.
-Nisargadatta Maharaj-

Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
