What is real peace? Some people say, “Give it all up, then you will have peace.” No, it doesn’t work. If giving it all up made people peaceful and happy, they would immediately shut down the prisons, because this would be a reward: you do something wrong, and instead of being punished, you’re placed in an environment where you’re peaceful and happy. So that proves the point: giving it all up doesn’t do it. But regardless of any circumstance, there is a place inside of us, and if we can access that place, we can feel that peace.
