Peace

The first sign of the divine presence in the being is peace.
*
In the very depths of your being, deep within your breast, the Divine
Presence is always there, luminous and peaceful, full of love and
wisdom. It is there so that you may unite with it and it may trans-
form you into a luminous and radiant consciousness.
*
Each time that you feel restless you ought to repeat, speaking
inside yourself without exterior sound and thinking of me at the
same time:
“Peace, peace, O my heart!” Do it steadily and you will be
pleased with the result.
*
... it is always very good to practise silence for a few minutes, at
least twice a day, but it must be a true silence, not merely absten-
tion from talking.
*
Peace and stillness are the great remedy for disease.
When we can bring peace in our cells, we are cured.

Peace is a calm deepened into something that is very positive
amounting almost to a tranquil waveless Ananda.
