The Importance of Peace

When you touch your being and you realize my being is inherently peaceful. All the peace and happiness that I have previously sought out in the world in objects, substances, activities, relationships, they are already the nature of my being. That's what we're tasting. In that moment when you get the object and you feel happy, it's not the object that has created the happiness... The acquisition of the object has just laid your seeking mind to rest temporarily and allow the underlying peace to surface. Well, in a direct path, we just go directly to that peace instead of going via the object.
