Peace

Duhkhesv anudvigna-manah sukhesu vigata-sprhah, vita-raga-bhaya-krodhah sthita-dhir munir ucyate

One who is not disturbed in spite of miseries, who doesn't crave happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear, and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.

Apuryamanam acala-pratistham samudram apah pravishanti yadvat, tadvat kama yam pravishanti sarve sa shantim apnoti na kama-kami

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean which is being filled but is always being still—can alone achieve peace, and not the person who strives to satisfy such desires.

Yuktahara-viharasya yukta-cestasya karmasu, yukta-svapnavabodhasya yogo bhavati duhkha-ha

For one who is moderate in eating, recreation, working, sleeping, and waking, yoga destroys all sorrows.

Vihaya kaman yah sarvan pumams carati nihsprhah, nirmamo nirahankarah sa shantim adhigacchati

That person who gives up all material desires and lives free from a sense of possessiveness, proprietorship, and egotism, attains perfect peace.

Shraddhaval labhate jnanam tat-parah samyatendriyah, jnanam labdhva param shantim acirenadhigacchati

Those who have faith, are devoted, and have mastered their senses quickly attain divine knowledge. Upon attaining such knowledge, they soon achieve supreme peace.

Yuktah karma-phalam tyaktva shantim apnoti naishthikim, ayuktah kama-karena phale sakto nibadhyate

The steadily devoted soul attains unadulterated peace by renouncing the fruits of action, whereas the unsteady soul is bound by desire for rewards.

Bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-maheshvaram, suhrdam sarva-bhutanam jnatva mam shantim rcchati

The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate enjoyer of all sacrifices and austerities, the Lord of all worlds, and the friend of all beings, attain peace.

Shreyo hi jnanam abhyasaj jnanad dhyanam vishishyate, dhyanat karma-phala-tyagas tyagac chantir anantaram

If you cannot practice knowledge, then devote yourself to meditation. Better than meditation is renunciation of the fruits of action, for peace immediately follows such renunciation.

Kshipram bhavati dharmatma shashvac-chantim nigacchati, kaunteya pratijanihi na me bhaktah pranashyati

Quickly they become righteous and attain lasting peace. O son of Kunti, declare it boldly that My devotee never perishes.

Tam eva śharaṇaṁ gachchha sarva-bhāvena bhārata, tat-prasādāt parāṁ śhāntim sthānaṁ prāpsyasi śhāśhvatam

Surrender exclusively unto Him with your whole being, O Bharata. By His grace, you will attain supreme peace and the eternal abode.
