replied, “Because | am not happy otherwise.” Bhagavan answered, “Then it is like this: a man who has a headache will not rest until he has taken the right medicine and has got rid of his ailment because health is our true state and not illness. Similarly, peace is our true nature. Indeed, we are at peace but we forget that and seek peace from external sources. This is an impossible quest and creates all these problems. The moment you withdraw your mind from external objects and turn it inwards, it then takes to real peace and
feels happy.”
