Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 4.Vedanta, The term Veda is derived from the Sanskrit root. 'Vid'-to know. 'Anta' means end.

He is satisfied in his own self. He is indifferent amidst sensual pleasures. He is not elated by getting desirable objects. He has a poised mind at all times and under all conditions. He is centred in his own self at energyenhancement.org

- Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 8.Message of Peace
Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 8.Message of Peace, The kingdom of peace is beyond all speech and thought. Peace is not merely the absence of noise, tumult, strife or quarrels, controversies or disputes. It is not a condition or environment from which all undesirable elements are removed. This peace is not an inert passive state. It is not a hypnotic trance. It is not a negative physical condition. It is a positive state of spiritual attainment. It is your centre, ideal and goal. It is perfect awareness. It is a magnificent, indescribable state in which the pure soul enjoys the highest divine bliss and transcendental divine knowledge. You will become absolutely fearless and desireless by drinking this divine nectar of peace. You will be in communion with the Supreme Soul or Atma by attaining this peace. In this state of peace there are no yesterdays or tomorrows, no sunset or daybreak-there is eternal sunshine. It can hardly be acquired from external sources. It can be reached only by patient spiritual practices at energyenhancement.org
