No conventional therapy can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.
When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.
If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
We now know that whatever you vibrate, you create and attract to yourself. So, you work on healing yourself in order to create peace around you. You become peace. If there is conflict living within you, you cannot live in a world of peace. The world mirrors back to you perfectly the condition of your love and of your intent. And if the world you re living in is not a world that is at peace and at joy and at grace, then you have to find peace, joy, and grace within you.
If you want inner peace, find it in solitude, not speed, and if you would find yourself, look to the land from which you came and to which you go.
What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us
People talk of peace, "We should have peace" - how can you have peace? It's not possible, is an impossible situation. You see we think by thinking, by organizing, by manipulating, we'll have peace. You cannot. You cannot have peace that way. How will you have peace? When the peace is established on your attention. When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides.
Without being peace, we cannot do anything for peace. If we cannot smile, we cannot help other people to smile. If we are not peaceful, then we cannot contribute to the peace movement.
And it is utterly true that he who cannot find wonder, mystery, awe, the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray's Inn Road will never find these secrets elsewhere.
Be willing to trust your instincts, especially if you cannot find answers elsewhere.
If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.
There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.
If you're looking for perfection, look in the mirror. If you find it there, expect it elsewhere.
When you can not find someone, it is because you've been misdirected to look elsewhere
When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
Thoughts are impediments to seeing your deepest nature.
Don't give rise to any thought, and discover who you are.
That ocean of eternal peace is you.
What is the difficulty that we suffer from?
It is that we seek peace elsewhere and do not experience that we are peace incarnate itself.
