Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.
Ramana MaharshiHappiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Ramana MaharshiYou are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
