Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred. For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.
Paramahansa YoganandaWhen you know God as peace within, then you will realize Him as peace existing in the universal harmony of all things without.
