Peace

If there were no people who are as forgiving as the earth, there would be no peace among humans, only constant conflict caused by anger.

We can attain peace of mind only by following what Gurbani teaches.

The mind does not become tranquil until it is connected to the ever-peaceful Supreme Being.

That person who walks through life having abandoned all desires, free of longing, without possessiveness, and without ego — attains peace.

All this, truly, is Brahman; from it all things arise, into it they dissolve, and by it they live (tajjalan) — thus one should meditate with a tranquil mind. Now, a person is made of resolve: as a person's resolve is in this world, so does he become after departing from here. Let him therefore form his resolve.

May Mitra bring us well-being, may Varuṇa bring well-being. May Aryamā be gracious to us. May Indra and Bṛhaspati bring us well-being. May Viṣṇu of wide strides be auspicious to us. Salutation to Brahman. Salutation to you, O Vāyu — you alone are the directly perceivable Brahman. I have declared you as the directly perceivable Brahman. I have spoken the eternal order, I have spoken truth. That protected me, it protected the one who spoke. It sheltered me, it sheltered the speaker. Om, peace, peace, peace.

May Mitra bestow well-being upon us; may Varuna grant us peace. May Aryaman shower his grace on us; may Indra and Brihaspati bless us. May Vishnu of wide strides bring us auspiciousness. Salutation to Brahman — salutation to you, O Vayu. You alone are the directly perceivable Brahman. I shall declare you as that directly perceivable Brahman. I shall speak what is eternally right. I shall speak what is true. May that Truth protect me; may it protect the one who teaches. May it shelter me; may it shelter the teacher. Om — Peace, Peace, Peace.

Without giving up worldly attachments, one can never achieve true happiness. Without renunciation, one can never attain their highest good or find peace.

Righteousness is the greatest good; forgiveness is the supreme peace; knowledge is the ultimate contentment; and benevolence is the only true happiness.

Everything is Brahman. The universe emerges from Brahman, merges into Brahman, and breathes in Brahman. Therefore, one should meditate on Brahman with a calm mind.

In this way, gradually and quickly, divine calm and peace will be infused into your soul, along with a wonderful and sublime knowledge of God, wrapped in divine love.

The one established in non-violence can move the whole world. In their presence, all hostilities vanish; even natural enemies like lions and cows, cobras and mongooses live together peacefully.

The Karma Yogi, having renounced the fruits of action, attains eternal peace or liberation through wisdom, whereas one who is driven by desire and attached to the fruits of action becomes bound. (Gita: Chapter V-12)

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace and goodwill towards all people.

A man endowed with sattva is quiet and peaceful.

Salutations to the Guru who is eternal consciousness, ever at peace, beyond space, unstained, and transcending even the primordial sound, the source-point, and the creative power.

So long as we do not find the company of saints, virtues will not enter our life and we will fail to move higher. If we stay in the company of unenlightened people and continue to be guided by selfishness, we are not going to attain any peace.

All these disputes, bickerings and tension will exist only until God dwells in our hearts, until we realise God and have communion with the Almighty. As soon as this occurs, the entire world gets peace and there is joy everywhere.

Seeing the All as one, unborn, peaceful, infinite, changeless and immutable, whose nature is pure consciousness and the true substance of all beings, abide in peace, happily as you please.

He becomes emancipated who neither accumulates merit nor demerit, casts off past karma, destroys his body's elements to attain a tranquil soul, and transcends all dualities.
