Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that only unalloyed devotees of the Lord can experience actual, undisturbed peace. While fruitive workers, mental speculators, and mystic yogis are constantly agitated by their material desires and goals, a pure devotee has no material hankering. Completely surrendered to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the devotee depends entirely on the Supreme Lord's mercy, just as a helpless child rests peacefully in the care of a parent. Because such fully satisfied, tolerant, and magnanimous souls are extremely rare, the material world is currently in a highly disturbed condition. Furthermore, Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that whenever these peaceful devotees of God face harassment from materialistic persons, the Supreme Lord personally incarnates to protect them.
- The Scarcity of Real Peace: The material world is in a disturbed condition because there is a scarcity of peaceful devotees. Only those who have given up all material desires can be truly peaceful.
- The Position of a Pure Devotee: A pure devotee depends completely on the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Like a child trusting its parent, the devotee is fully surrendered and therefore free from anxiety.
- Freedom from Material Hankering: Unlike fruitive workers, mental speculators, and mystic yogis who still harbor desires, a pure bhakta has no material hankering and is thus perfectly peaceful.
- The Lord's Compassionate Protection: When atheistic and materialistic persons harass the peaceful devotees, the Supreme Lord personally incarnates to deliver them and restore harmony.

Pages in category "Peaceful Devotees of God"
The following 17 pages are in this category, out of 17 total.
A
- A devotee is peaceful because he is fully surrendered to the SPG and thinks of himself as completely helpless; just as a child feels complete peace in depending on the parent, so a devotee is completely peaceful, for he depends on the mercy of the SPG
- Above all the fruitive laborers, speculators, and mystic yogis are the bhaktas, or devotees of Krsna. A bhakta can be perfectly peaceful, whereas the others cannot because everyone but the bhakta, one who has pure love, has desire
O
- O great sage, among many millions who are liberated and perfect in knowledge of liberation, one may be a devotee of Lord Narayana, or Krsna. Such devotees, who are fully peaceful, are extremely rare
- O Maharaja Pariksit, having been received and welcomed by Nanda Maharaja with honor, Vasudeva sat down very peacefully and inquired about his own two sons because of intense love for them - SB 10.5.22
T
- The devotees of Krsna do not envy the demigods or their worshipers but peacefully render devotional service to the incarnations of Narayana instead
- The Lord, the all-compassionate controller of both the spiritual and material creations, is unborn, but when there is friction between His peaceful devotees and persons who are in the material modes of nature, He takes birth just like fire
- The world is in a disturbed condition because of a scarcity of such peaceful devotees in human society. Unless one is a devotee, one cannot be equal to all living entities
- There are many instances of harassment of the peaceful devotees by the itaras. When such friction takes place, God, out of His great compassion towards His pure devotees, appears in person, accompanied by His plenary portions controlling the mahat-tattva
- These qualities of a devotee, twenty-six in number, are listed as follows: (10) benevolent, (11) peaceful, (12) completely attached to Krsna, (13) has no material hankering, (14) meek, (15) steady, (16) self-controlled
- They (great devotees) are always peaceful, thinking of Krsna, and therefore they are called dhira. The best example of such a devotee is Narada Muni
- Transfer to the spiritual world is the highest perfection of life. In other words, the devotee achieves his constitutional position of immortality and thus becomes completely peaceful
