In plain words
In this natural pleasure we receive the true joy.
Some people take pills because sleep does not come. But does that bring proper sleep? Natural sleep brings proper rest. Sleep that comes from medicines is not proper sleep. We must lead a natural life. That will not come to us by any path but the spiritual one. He said that the moment Rāmakṛṣṇa Paramahaṃsa touched Vivekānanda, Vivekānanda went into samādhi. What does samādhi mean? Merely becoming absorbed, forgetting the body, is not samādhi. That may be an emotion, or excitement, or a fit, or it may be intoxication. That is not samādhi. Sama-dhī, equal mind, is samādhi. To take heat and cold, darkness and light, pain and pleasure as equal is samādhi. To take good and bad as equal is samādhi. All these come about through the changes of time. To master them is samādhi. We decide good and bad for ourselves. We decide for ourselves that one man is poor and another rich. All these are our own decisions. All these are the marks of our own way of seeing. These are changes in our feelings. These are our thoughts of difference. These are what we have made for ourselves. In God's creation all is one; there are no differences. In God's sight is there any such thing as bad? Through our own sight and our bodily desire we turn things into good and bad. Today, in the evening, we ate a fresh apple, a fresh banana, fresh curd. We ate good fruit. By dawn the next day it had become excreta. Between excreta and fruit, the difference of time made it good and bad. That good becomes bad is the way of nature. We ate the fruit. If that fruit came out just as fruit, we would have no essence from it at all. If the fruit went out just as fruit, where would our strength come from? That fruit goes into our body, supplies its essence to every limb, and goes out as waste pulp. This is not bad. It is natural. It is good. It gave its essence, so it is good. So everything is good. Nothing is bad. There are certain laws that go with the world. When we act against these laws we call it bad. When we follow the laws we call it good. Good and bad are the delusions of our body-consciousness. They are not in God's creation. God creates all things with nothing but a sacred feeling. He keeps the welfare of beings alone as His aim. All He does is help; He does no harm at all.
God ever thirsts for Śānti. We say "Śānti, Śānti, Śāntiḥ" three times. We could say it once. We could say it twice. We could say it four times. We could say it ten times. But why do we say it only three times? Ādibhautika Śānti, ādidaivika Śānti, ādhyātmika Śānti. We need all three of these; because we need them we say "Śānti" three times.
