Peace
One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Kåñëa conscious-
ness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady
mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can
there be any happiness without peace? - BG 2:66 -
A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—
that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but
is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the man who
strives to satisfy such desires. - BG 2:70 -
A faithful man who is dedicated to transcendental knowledge and
who subdues his senses is eligible to achieve such knowledge, and
having achieved it he quickly attains the supreme spiritual peace.
- BG 4:39 -
A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who
lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship
and is devoid of false ego—he alone can attain real peace.
