Attaining Peace

The best Sadhana (spiritual practice) is to behave as you do when you
get a parcel of books by post. To get at the books you unwrap the
parcel and throw off the packing material. Now, take the prayer that is
the deepest and the most significant - 'I want Peace'. Unwrap it of
the 'I' (the ego) and of the 'want' (desire) and get hold of Shanti
(Peace). When you are burdened with egoism and desire, how can you
attain Shanti? So, throw away the outer covering and hold on to the
precious essence that remains.
