From ~~~ Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, 144.
Bhagavan:
Peace being experienced now and then,
it must be admitted that there is a thing called peace.
Moreover,
those feelings called desires are also of the mind,
and if desires were banished,
there would be no wavering of the mind;
and if there is no wavering,
that which remains is peace.
To attain that which is always there
requires no effort.
Effort is required only
for the banishing of all desires.
As and when the mind wavers,
it must be diverted from those matters.
If that is done, peace remains as it is.
That is Atma, the Self,
that is Liberation
and that is Self.
