Peace and bliss are not to be found in external objects. You possess all worldly objects to cater to your needs and to provide all comforts and conveniences to you. Isn’t it? If these external objects could give you peace and bliss, then how is it that you do not experience peace and bliss despite possessing all these? Similarly, all your near and dear ones are with you. But they also do not give you peace and bliss. You should try to understand that bliss is not to be found in persons and material objects. Bliss comes only from within you; you yourself are the source of peace and bliss. Therefore, there is no need for you to make efforts to search for them here and there. Bliss is not to be searched; it has to be manifested from within. It is to be known and not to be looked out. Try to know this eternal principle of truth that is within you. You think that someone or the other will give you bliss. But that is your bhrama (delusion). So long as you have bhrama, you cannot attain Brahma (God). Therefore, get rid of this bhrama. Then Brahma will become manifest from within you. God is no different from you. You and God are one. – Divine Discourse, Jun 24, 1996.
