Despite all riches, comforts and conveniences, we struggle without peace. Why is that so? Bhagawan explains to us today.

There are so many people in this world who have all the comforts and conveniences, yet they lack peace and have some fear or the other every moment. What is the reason? Can the external comforts and conveniences give peace to man? Can he attain peace by wealth, gold and other worldly possessions? If wealth and worldly possessions could give peace, then how is it that even rich men are in the grip of unrest? In spite of all comforts and conveniences, man today is unable to experience peace because he is filled with evil thoughts. One will be filled with fear and anxiety when a snake enters one’s house. Such being the case, how can man attain peace when the venomous snakes of raga and dwesha have entered his heart? It is impossible to attain permanent peace so long as man does not give up these two. Many people have power, authority and wealth. In spite of all this, they are unable to enjoy peace. They are subjected to unrest because they lack the willpower and capacity to control their evil qualities. Therefore, first of all, man should see to it that evil qualities and evil thoughts do not enter his heart.
