If you are a slave of the mind, you cannot achieve happiness or peace.

People are bundles of impulses and intentions (vasanas and sankalpas), and giving free rein to the impulses reduces their innate Divinity and inner peace. The impulses are the fuel, the intentions are the fire. The fire can be put out only by placing the fuel aside. The dying down of the fire is the attainment of peace. Dive deep into the ocean of peace and earn the invaluable pearl - the bliss of the Atma (Atma-ananda). When that opportunity is seized, one becomes the personification of the effulgent, the holy state of peace. That is why the Vedas declare that people are the embodiment of peace. Therefore, don’t delude yourself by imagining that you are the seat of disquiet and untruth. Know that you are the embodiment of peace, that love is the blood that flows in your veins, and that your very nature is joy; realise this by actual practice and experience. Without peace, it is impossible to see the truth.
