One needs peace alone.
This body is only illusory.
It is a shackle of illusion.
This attachment to the body, the identification of the self with the body, must go.
What is this body?
It is nothing but three pounds of ashes when it is cremated.
Why so much vanity about it?
However strong or beautiful this body may be, its culmination is in those three pounds of ashes.
And still, people are so attached to it.
Everything depends upon one's mind.
Nothing can be achieved without purity of mind.
Blinded by egotism,
People think themselves to be independent agents in regard to action.
They do not depend on the divine, which protects one who relies on it.
Open your grief-stricken heart to the divine.
Shed tears and sincerely pray.
Oh Lord, draw me towards you.
Give me peace of mind.
By doing so constantly, you will gradually attain peace of mind.
Neither mantra nor scripture is of any avail.
