  The Central Key to attaining, peace lies in achieving the
• 0:06
  Poise of non-attachment. Non-attachment is sometimes
• 0:11
  confused with avoidance of action or some kind of
• 0:15
  renunciation. But non-attachment can develop
• 0:19
  even among those who are active in the world.
• 0:23
  King jenica was known as being non-attached while still ruling
• 0:28
  a kingdom and living amidst the luxuries that were part of his
• 0:32
  position. Buta achieve non-attachment
• 0:36
  through overcoming the force of Desire, non-attachment is an
• 0:41
  underlying basis for refocusing, the concentration of the being
• 0:45
  on the eternal. Energy flows where it is
• 0:49
  directed. If we are attached to the life
• 0:52
  in the world than our entire focus goes towards achieving.
• 0:58
  What is considered to be success in the world whether through
• 1:01
  development of family wealth fame or other emolument, When we
• 1:08
  determined to refocus the energy towards the Divine, or towards
• 1:13
  the principle of Peace, then we set up an energetic relationship
• 1:18
  with those objects and thus can achieve.
• 1:21
  The result of that concentration that is once again the principle
• 1:26
  of samyama and action. The question was posed.
• 1:32
  How can we establish a settled peace and Silent in the mind?
• 1:38
  The mother responds quote. First of all, you must want it.
• 1:44
  And then you must try and must persevere.
• 1:47
  Continue drying. What I have just told you as a.
• 1:50
  Very good means yet. There are others also You sit
• 1:56
  quietly to begin with and then instead of thinking of 50
• 2:00
  things, you begin saying to yourself.
• 2:04
  Peace. Peace, peace, peace.
• 2:09
  Peace calm peace. You imagine peace and calm, you
• 2:18
  Aspire ask that. It may come peace, peace, calm.
• 2:26
  And then when something comes and touches you and acts say
• 2:29
  quietly like this peace. Peace.
• 2:34
  Peace. Do not look at the thoughts.
• 2:39
  Do not listen to the thoughts, you understand?
• 2:42
  You must not pay attention to everything that comes.
• 2:46
  You know, when someone bothers you a great deal and you want to
• 2:50
  get rid of him, you don't listen to him.
• 2:52
  Do you good? You turn your head away, juster
• 2:57
  and think of something else. Well, you must do that.
• 3:02
  When thoughts come, you must not.
• 3:03
  Look at them most not listen to them.
• 3:06
  Let's not pay any attention at all.
• 3:09
  You must behave as though they did not exist, you see, and then
• 3:15
  repeat all the time like a kind of how shall I put it as an
• 3:20
  idiot? Does who repeats the same thing
• 3:23
  always? Well you must do the same thing.
• 3:26
  You must repeat. Peace.
• 3:29
  Peace. Peace.
• 3:32
  So you try this for a few minutes and then do what you
• 3:35
  have to do. And then another time you begin
• 3:39
  again, sit down again. And then try do this on, getting
• 3:44
  up in the morning. Do this in the evening when
• 3:47
  going to bed You can do this look, if you want to digest your
• 3:52
  food properly, you can do this for a few minutes before eating
• 3:57
  you can't imagine how much this helps your digestion before.
• 4:02
  Beginning to eat. You sit quietly for a while and
• 4:05
  say peace peace peace and everything becomes calm It seems
• 4:15
  as though all the noises were going far, far far away.
• 4:21
  Mother stretches out her arms on both sides.
• 4:25
  And then, you must continue. And there comes a time when you
• 4:30
  no longer need to sit down and no matter what you are doing, no
• 4:35
  matter what you are saying, it is always peace.
• 4:41
  Peace peace. Everything remains here like
• 4:46
  this. It does not enter gesture in
• 4:49
  front of the forehead. It remains like this.
• 4:54
  And then one is always in a perfect piece after some years.
• 5:00
  But at the beginning of very small beginning, two or three
• 5:04
  minutes, it is very simple for something complicated.
• 5:09
  You must make an effort and when one makes an effort, when it's
• 5:13
  not quiet, it is difficult to make an effort.
• 5:17
  While remaining quiet. Very simple, very simple.
• 5:22
  You must be very simple in these things.
• 5:25
  It is as though you were learning how to call a friend by
• 5:29
  dint of being called, he comes. Well make peace and calm your
• 5:34
  friends and call them. Come peace, peace peace.
