The man who is full of faith, who is devoted to it, and who has subdued the senses, obtains (this) knowledge; and having obtained knowledge, ere long he goes to the supreme peace. Faith, devotion, and selfcontrol are the three imperative necessities to be acquired ere we can hope to evolve to the diviner stature from our present mortal encumbrances.
If the whole world is striving to win the highest joy that it possibly can, and having gained it, to retain the same, strife ends, then the goal of life should be absolute happiness, where all desires are fulfilled, and all thoughts and agitations are exhausted. Absolute joy is absolute peace.
Spiritual experience is the realisation of the Self to be the one great ruler within, who presides over all the activities within the body politic, who is the One at whose altar the perfection seeking ego surrenders all its spiritual activities, as a tribute to whom the seeker brings all his self-denial and asceticism.
‘Knowing him to be no other than Krsna, the individual reaches the goal of peace, the eternal sanctum of perfection.’ In meditation, as his knowledge shines free of all doubts, contrary thoughts and impurities, supreme peace is attained by an individual.
