What is the means to achieve inner peace? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today in crystal clear terms.

Senses can do nothing by themselves; they are not independent. If the mind is brought under control, the senses can also be controlled. Some people undergo mere asceticism of senses to control the mind! They are ignorant of the real discipline that’s necessary. Real discipline is the destruction of desire. However vigilant warders may be, a clever robber can still steal in through a hundred amazing ways. So too, however skillfully you may try to control the senses, the mind will drag them to its side and execute its desires through them! Note how Sage Viswamitra, despite his austerities, fell before the wiles of celestial apsaras sent by Indra to tempt him. If only the outer door is closed and the inner door is left unbolted, calamity is certain! But if both exterior and interior doors are safely bolted, you can sleep peacefully, for no clever thief will find it easy to enter and do harm.
