Editors' note: Peace is one of the seven forms of love – a part of silence. Abdullah agrees with Papa Ramdas that we must aim at the permanent bliss and peace possible only when the mind ceases to be active. The Christian Bible speaks of ‘the peace that surpasses all understanding’. The heart mantra or Ramnam is a means to this stillness of mind. To experience real peace we must have arrived at the state of universal vision and see God in everything.
