Welcome to this reading of Pedals of Grace by Her Holiness,
Saima Lakshmidevi Mishra.
Today we will be reading a piece on the chapter titled,
Be Peace.
Stillness allows peace to reveal itself.
All carry peace.
Peace is the Self,
And the All is the Self.
So All is Peace.
Practice peace,
Sarna of peace,
The spiritual practice of peace.
Supreme peace is your birthright.
You inherited peace from the Higher Self,
So peace is in you.
This morning one of my beloveds said,
It's so peaceful here today.
Awareness.
When there is love,
There is peace.
Most go to a church,
To a mosque,
To a mandir,
To a temple,
To darshan,
Or to meditate in order to experience peace.
Peace is an attribute of love.
It spontaneously rises from your Sacred Heart and embodies your whole being.
Then effortlessly it spreads by itself.
Others can surely experience the peace that you are.
Peace lies within your heart,
So do not look for it somewhere else.
You may feel peace while in a peaceful environment,
But it does not last.
Inner peace,
However,
Is yours and cannot be taken away.
And this inner peace transmutes guilt,
Unworthiness,
And more.
That state of peace is within you,
And no one besides you will create it for you.
It is from inside.
When there is love for God,
For the Source,
You can experience peace in every moment.
Peace is the grace of love,
The grace of the heart.
Have you noticed that after experiencing even one second of light,
Yourself,
During meditation,
You are that peace for hours or days.
Your good actions will also bring from your heart to the surface the attribute of peace to it.
This again is grace.
This divine grace,
This inner peace transforms your experience of life from hell to heaven.
It's then your natural state.
This is how you can free yourself.
In this freedom,
In this peace,
You will be intoxicated by divine love.
With the love of God and the realization that you live in the being of God,
You will breathe in the being of God.
Consciously anchor and expand this energy within your conscious mind,
Your unconscious and your subconscious.
The teaching is,
If we all were to choose peace,
Then we would quickly bring this peace,
This exquisite planet into peace.
But how many people are choosing peace for the planet?
How many of you,
Regardless of your many years of meditation,
Are being peace?
Last year,
One of you who was in the Himalayas said,
Saimaa,
I wish I were a sadhu,
An Indian renunciate who gives up all belongings.
Well,
Anyone can be a sadhu,
I replied.
For what reason do you wish to be a sadhu?
The answer was to live peacefully.
Well,
You do not have to live in the Himalayas as a sadhu to live peacefully.
Be peace while living with your family,
In your office,
With your colleagues,
In society.
Do not think you must live in a cave to realize God.
Peace is inside each of you.
So are you ready to live the peace that you are?
Are you ready to incarnate the supreme peace that you are?
Are you ready?
Your Higher Self carries this quality.
Your Higher Self is that quality.
Tap into it.
For that realization,
You are to move beyond duality,
Beyond what is perishable,
Beyond all judgments and resistance.
