Maharaj: You can have for
the asking all the peace you want.
Questioner: I am asking.
Maharaj: You must ask with
an undivided heart and live an integrated life.
Questioner: How?
Maharaj: Detach yourself
from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace.
If you want peace, deserve it.
Questioner: Surely
everybody deserves peace.
Maharaj: Those only
deserve it who don't disturb it.
Questioner: In what way do
I disturb peace?
Maharaj: By being a slave
to your desires and fears.
Questioner: Even when they
are justified?
Maharaj: Emotional
reactions, born of ignorance or inadvertance, are never justified.
Seek a clear mind and a
clean heart. All you need is to keep quietly alert, inquiring into the real
nature of yourself. This is the only way to peace.
Truth is simple and open
to all.
Why do you complicate?
Truth is loving and lovable.
It includes all,
accepts all, purifies all.
It is untruth that is
difficult and a source of trouble.
It always wants, expects, demands.
Being
false, it is empty,
always in search of confirmation and reassurance.
It is
afraid of and avoids inquiry.
It identifies itself with any support,
however
weak and momentary.
Whatever it gets, it loses and asks for more.
