Question: How to Attain Real Peace that is everlasting?
Swami Ramsukhdasji: Every person wants to attain real Peace. How to attain this is the question everyone has? The solution that Gita prescribes is that we have to leave all our desires if we want true Peace.
When we came to this world, we came with nothing and when we will leave this world, we will not be able to take anything from this world with us Not even this body which is also created in this world will go with us. We must remember and accept that nothing in this world is ours and nothing in this world is for us. As soon as we accept this truth, we will want nothing from anyone in this world. When nothing in this world is ours, how can we want anything for ourselves? If we leave all that we want and desire, we shall attain real and everlasting Peace instantly. This is the path of Wisdom (Jnana Yog).
Similarly, in the path of Devotion (Bhakti Yog), only God is ours and only God is for us. There is nothing else but God. Therefore, we must make God our own. Make God your very own. Things of the world will always stay with the world. They are not for us. Therefore let us not treat the world as ours or for us. Let us say to God - I am yours and only yours. Do what You want with me. Become His slave. Make Him your Master.
Even if the whole world is against us, we should always be with God. God is always with us. God is ours. He can never leave us even if He wants to. Have the confidence that He is always with us, every second of our life.
Become God's and attain True Peace, instantly.
