Category:Becoming Peaceful
Theme Analysis
Becoming peaceful is presented not as a passive state, but as the result of a scientific culture and spiritual understanding. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the "Actual Peace Formula" is found in the Bhagavad-gītā (5.29), which establishes God as the supreme proprietor, the ultimate friend, and the sole enjoyer of all activities. When a living entity understands these three principles, they immediately become desireless (niṣkāma) and peaceful. The category emphasizes that material adjustments—such as economic development, political resolutions, or the accumulation of wealth—cannot bring peace because they do not address the root cause of agitation: the contamination of material desire and the forgetfulness of our relationship with the Supreme.
- The Peace Formula: Real peace is attained the moment one realizes that Kṛṣṇa is the proprietor of everything, the best well-wishing friend of all, and the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices. This understanding removes the burden of proprietorship from the individual, leading to immediate tranquility.
- Training and Culture: Peacefulness is a quality that must be cultivated through training. The brahmacārī-āśrama is designed to train children to be sober (dānta) and peaceful rather than restless. Reviving brahminical culture and following varṇāśrama-dharma are described as essential for creating an organized society where spiritual progress and peace are possible.
- The Role of Devotion: While yoga and sense control are methods to check agitation, the most effective way to become peaceful is to fix the mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Devotional service satisfies the Supersoul, which in turn makes the practitioner completely peaceful and refreshed, free from the lusty desires that cause social and individual disturbance.
