In English
What is peace? When does it arise in the human heart? Peace arises in man when the three attributes of ‘,’ ‘’ and ‘’ (serene, passionate and dull temperaments) are totally routed. You must make earnest efforts to develop ‘,’ ‘’ and ‘’ (detachment, apathy and disinterest) towards the three attributes. Everything is fraught with fear in the world, and it is detachment () alone which can bestow ‘’ (fearlessness). A man who suffers from ‘’ (attachment) is a prey to fear; a man who has cultivated detachment is free from fear. If ‘’ is allowed to grow, it ultimately ends up as ‘’ (disease). If the waves of ‘’ and ‘’ (lust and anger) are not nipped in the bud they assume great proportions. “If a plant does not bend while it is a sapling, can it ever bend when it is a tree?” says the proverb. If a plant is not controlled as a sapling, it grows uncontrolled when it is a mighty tree. That is why youth is the most appropriate period to cultivate the control of the mind.
