Quotes of Swami Sivananda about peace
Desire is the greatest enemy of peace.
Desire causes distractions of various sorts. Therefore give up all desires.
Eternal spiritual life cannot be attained without the renunciation of the petty sensual life. The secret of renunciation is the renunciation of egoism and desires.
Attain that peace that passeth understanding by silencing the bubbling thoughts and eradicating all desires, cravings, or sense-hankerings.
What is wanted is the renunciation of the tiny ego, lust, anger, greed, petty-mindedness, name and fame and such other negative qualities that stand in the way of one's perfection, self-evolution.
Nothing can bring you peace but the victory over your lower self, triumph over your senses and mind, desires and cravings.
Cultivate peace first in the garden of your heart by removing the weeds of lust, hatred, greed, selfishness and jealousy. Then only you can contribute peace to the world.
Reach the kingdom of inner stillness or domain of infinite peace through spiritual meditation.
