People appear to be in quest of God. They do not realize that all that they see is permeated by God. All forms are Divine. But because man's vision is externalized, he is unable to have the inner vision of the Divine. People crave for peace. Though the source of peace and bliss is within themselves, they seek this in the external, like one pursuing a mirage. Owing to restless activity, endless worry and limitless desires, man has lost peace of mind and has become prey to discontent and misery. At the outset, peace has to be cultivated within ourselves. And then that peace has to be extended to the family. From the home it should be spread to our locality. Thus, peace should begin with the individual and spread to the whole society.
- Divine Discourse, March 23, 1989.
