It is only when truth, inner light and bliss are won that Divine Peace will be established. Lack of Divine Peace is an unnatural condition. Man must earn his birth right, namely: Divine Peace.

He is here on a holy mission, for a Divine purpose. There is no aspect of human life which has not been spoken about and interpreted spiritually by Swami. Through expositions on the sacred texts of yore, like Itihasas, particularly Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavata, etc., and by explaining the inner significance of the acts of each and every role depicted by the ancient seers and sages therein, Bhagavan always attempted to grant peace to the parched hearts of the humans through summer showers of true wisdom pertaining to the secrets of the soul and mysteries of the universe. According to Baba, when man gets rid of вЂњIвЂќ ness and вЂњwantвЂќ (desires) from within, automatically he attains peace. On this basis I want to build one humanity without any religious, caste or other barriers in a universal empire of life which could enable my devotees to feel the whole world as their own family.вЂќД«aba wants every individual to attain peace through leading a simple and pure life. I know only one language of the heart beyond the mind or intellect which relates man to man and mankind to God, thereby creating mutual understanding, co-operation and community life in peace and harmony. Conveying His message of Advaita to the world Baba declared: вЂњI preach one religion of love for all, which alone can integrate the human race into a brotherhood of Man under the fatherhood of God. Again, the principle of Advaita (philosophy of non-dualism) has always been extensively invoked by Baba only to propagate the message of universal love and peace, affirming that the apparent diversity seen and experienced by the sense organs of the humans is a perfect illusion.

The Sanskrit word for fasting is вЂUpa VasaвЂ™, which literally means sitting close to God, all the time contemplating on God, only for attaining peace. For example, as pointed out by Baba, the spiritual significance of вЂњfastingвЂќ, as practised by people belonging to all faiths all over the world was to attain peace. Moreover, it is precisely to grant peace through a very deep understanding of life in its varied forms, but yet being the reflection of one universal life principle, that highly useful and meaningful traditions, practices, usages, conventions got woven in an inextricable manner into the collective living processes of people all over the world. For example, the Arabic word вЂSalamвЂ™, meaning вЂpeaceвЂ™ or вЂhealthвЂ™ has been in general use as a greeting or salutation since the time of the Quran. Again, as one ponders over вЂvarious religious practices of people belonging to all faithsвЂ™ as explained by Baba, one would understand that the ultimate goal has always been to seek peace. XI p.221).ДЄs expounded by Bhagavan Baba, man, being the embodiment of the divine Atma, always seeks peace. (The Encyclopaedia of Religion, 1987 Vol. The salutation Shalom expressed the positive aim of encouraging friendly cooperation and living together for mutual benefit, and such a greeting, in use from the times of the Judges and David, was later employed by both Jews and Christians. Again, in ancient Hebrew thought, вЂњpeace (shalom) was not only the absence of war but the presence of well-being if not prosperity.вЂќ Moreover, the Israelites used the Hebrew word вЂShalomвЂ™ to refer to вЂmaterial and spiritual conditionsвЂ™ which went hand in hand. As with the ancient Greek word for вЂpeaceвЂ™, Eirene, the Roman Pax was also a vague goddess, taken as the representation of вЂquiet at home and abroadвЂ™. However, вЂpeaceвЂ™ can also take a positive connotation of well-being and fulfilment as goals of religious and social life. In a negative sense, religious traditions are centred round вЂpeaceвЂ™ as freedom from war and unrest. Peace, that which has got more a religious connotation than otherwise, has got to be pursued through a process of internal purification of oneвЂ™s own heart and soul. Bhagavan BabaвЂ™s exposition of вЂpeaceвЂ™ is unique: it transcends all rigid, irrational and highly self-exemplary roads taken by all the hitherto existing faiths that have generally put man against man, nations against nations. It is precisely to fulfil His promise in the Bhagavad Gita that He would reincarnate in times of distress to re-establish вЂDharmaвЂ™ that Bhagavan Baba has incarnated to reorient man towards вЂDharmaвЂ™ and grant him вЂpeaceвЂ™.
