Of what use is a mountain of bookish knowledge, if you cannot secure real happiness as a human being? Will not God take care if one places faith in the Divine? What is it that is achieved by ceaseless preoccupation with earning a living, forgetting the all-pervading Lord? Everybody clamours for peace saying, "I want peace." But can peace be found in the external world, which is only filled with pieces? Peace has to be found within oneself by getting rid of the ‘I’ and desire. Peace is being destroyed by the ego and by insatiable desires. Restrain your desires. You have to reduce desires and cultivate vairagya (detachment) so that you can have real peace of mind. Man is haunted by endless worries of many kinds. Only by turning one’s mind towards God can one get rid of the worries. While the Lord is ever by the side of man, he is searching for God all over the world. By exploring the external, you can never purify the internal.
- Divine Discourse, Dec 25, 1989.
