“Tranquility at the level of the body is the abolition of wars; countries at peace; submission without rebellion, without fighting to excel, without stealing possessions, without legal disputes, without judicial charges; cessation of calumny; no controversy about faith; concord that is in stillness, away from conflict.

“Tranquility at the level of the soul is a heart not troubled by thoughts; a mind not divided by its thoughts; a will which does not quarrel with itself; serene thinking which does not disturb the heart; gentleness of soul without distracting stirrings.

“Tranquility at the level of the spirit: a mind undivided concerning…

And to all the loving sangat, which has come here, my best wishes to all of you. And I pray that Baba Ji’s Grace is always on you.

All of you have left very important things back home and have come here to participate in this program.

The five precepts include ahimsa: non-violence in thought, word and deed, also truthfulness. …

O Sant Satguru, Form of Truth,
You are ever pure and undefiled.

You are the victor over death who ferries the jivas [souls] across the impassable realm of matter,
Omniscient Consciousness, Quintessence of Light,
Ineffable and beyond reckoning is Your state.
The mind cannot conceive of You; You are without beginning and without end.

Through contemplation upon You, the yogis have abandoned worldly desires and have achieved union with the Beloved.
The Vedas and all the scriptures extol Your Greatness.
Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, and the serpent Shesh proclaim Your glory.
O Kindler of Light, in Your form resides all power and splendor.
You dwell…
