Passage 22

In English

Don’t direct your anger toward God when you meet with failures in your spiritual practice. In spite of your failures, you should always love God. Even in the face of troubles, problems, and difficulties, you should say: it is good for me, it is good for me, it is good for me. Always pray to God, “Whatever You say, whatever You do, it is good for me.” When you develop that spirit of equanimity, you will be at peace. We say, peace, peace, peace ( , , ). In prayer, we repeat this word thrice. Why should we say it three times? Why not once, twice, or four times? The purpose of repeating it three times is to pray for peace at the physical plane, the mental plane, and the Atmic plane. We should have peace at all these three levels. If you have peace at physical level and no peace at the mental level, then what is the use? All the three are essential.
