Peace is the realm of infinite Bliss

WHAT IS PEACE?
Peace is a state of quiet. It is freedom from disturbance, anxiety, agitation, riot or violence. It is harmony, silence, calm, repose, rest. Specifically, it is the absence or cessation of war.
Peace is the very nature of the soul or Atman. All the modifications (Vrittis) of the mind are dissolved in the soul. There is no thought (Sankalpa) in the soul.
The peace of God fills your heart. Realise this stupendous peace of God that passeth all understanding through meditation and devotion.
Peace is a divine attribute. It is a quality of the soul. It cannot remain with greedy persons. It fills the pure heart.
Speak, move, act in peace. Peace is the happy, natural state of man. It is his birthright. War is his disgrace.
