"You can have for the asking all the peace you want"
Questioner: "I am asking."
Nisargadatta: "You must ask with an undivided heart and live an integrated life."
Questioner: "How?"
Nisargadatta: "Detach yourself from all that makes your mind restless. Renounce all that disturbs its peace. If you want peace, deserve it."
Questioner: "Surely everybody deserves peace"
Nisargadatta: "Those only deserve it, who don't disturb it."
Questioner: "In what way do I disturb peace?"
Nisargadatta: "By being a slave to your desires and fears."
Questioner: "Even when they are justified?"
Nisargadatta: "Emotional reactions, born of ignorance or inadvertance, are never justified. Seek a clear mind and a clean heart. All you need is to keep quietly alert, inquiring into the real nature of yourself. This is the only way to peace."
