For those seeking peace

[seeking_brilliance]

Wanted to share this from 'I Am That' by nisargadatta Maharaj.  Spoke to me as I read through it.  It's a question and answer style book so M is when Maharaj is speaking, and Q for the questioner. 

--------—--------—--------—-------—-------

M: Detach yourself from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace.

If you want peace, deserve it. 

Q: Surely everybody deserves peace.

M: Those only deserve it, who don't disturb it.

Q: In what way do I disturb peace?

M: By being a slave to your desires and fears.

Q: Even when they are justified?

M: Emotional reactions, born of ignorance or inadvertence, are never justified.

Seek a clear mind and a clean heart. All you need is to keep quietly alert, enquiring into the real nature of yourself.  

This is the only way to peace.
