The eternal among the non-eternal, the conscious among the conscious — the One who fulfills the desires of many: those wise ones who see It as their own Self enjoy eternal peace, none other.

Same theme, different voices
One whose mind is undisturbed in sorrow, who feels no longing for pleasure, who is free from passion, fear, and anger — such a sage is called a person of stable wisdom.
The mind does not become tranquil until it is connected to the ever-peaceful Supreme Being.
It's sad to see many people who, despite their soul wanting to rest in this peaceful and quiet state, filled with God's peace and refreshment, disturb their tranquility and lead it away to external things, retracing their steps to no avail, and abandoning their goal for the means that led them there, which are meditations.
Seek the treasure of a peaceful mind and store it in the treasury of ease. Not even all the riches of your lands and seas are worth a loyal heart and a tranquil breast.
