If you want peace of mind, you must first release yourself from jail. Your life is filled with accidents, and you are imprisoned by thoughts, sights, and sounds. They are your jail. They lock you in the prison of this body, the prisons of religion, race, caste, and blood ties, the prisons of money, desire, and love. All these are jails, are they not?

Think deeply about this.” peace of mind - "Why Did We Choose to Come Here When We Were Already Part of God to Begin With?"
