In plain words
One who seeks Śānti must give up religion and try to search for it in the mind. Śānti is within us; it is not in religion. Only because we try to search for such Śānti outside are we ready to experience, to take upon ourselves, an unrest that is not there. One must first develop this Śānti within oneself. Then one must have that Śānti developed within the family. From the family one must develop it into the village. From the village one must make it grow to the State. From the State one must give it to the country. So, if the country is to be at peace, how is the country to receive Śānti when there is no Śānti in the individual? Unfortunately today, instead of spreading Śānti through all the world, we spread the unrest within ourselves through the family, the unrest in the family through the village, and from the village up to the country; we keep increasing unrest, and no one makes a fitting effort to increase Śānti. We must be messengers who increase Śānti, not messengers of Yama who increase unrest. So, to increase Śānti, each of us must develop in himself the nourishment it needs. Where will we find this Śānti? It is found in service alone. They have said that the mind of a man who does no service is a devils work shop. One who has no work just sits like a block of wood. Such a person cannot even sleep. One who cannot sleep hatches mean plots. Needless thoughts gather in his head. So he turns into a madman. If we keep working, there is no room in it for any worries or thoughts. The state without thoughts is itself Śānti.
Only through this Śānti does Prema grow. This Prema is in us by nature. If we want to nourish a plant that is there, we must put manure on it. We must pour water. In the same way, we can develop the plant of Prema that is in us by nature with fitting care and with service. We can nourish it. This service makes the plant called Prema grow. Prema is most sacred. Prema is the very form of nectar; the man who has drunk such Prema, the nectar of sweetness, desires no other thing. Premasvarūpinaṃ jīvanaṃ. Our life is the very form of Prema. We are experiencing this Prema, the support of life, in a different way. It is turning into mere selfishness. We must make this Prema grow in society. We must share this Prema with others. You must receive the Prema of others. It is in such giving and taking that the strength of this Prema grows. By this our narrow feelings go, and sacred, broad feelings arise in us. In this broad world we must become broad human beings.
