PEACE ABOVE ALL

When you feel extremely drowsy at night, you do not eat even if a very delicious dish is offered at that moment. You have no desire to attend any kind of musical performance either. All that you want then is peaceful rest.
This clearly proves that the mind wants rest and not objects. Worldly people do nor know where to find rest and how to get it. They try to get this rest or peace from external objects. They fail hopelessly in their attempts. Perennial peace can be had in one's Self only through the attainment of Self-realization.
