Aum consciousness in you makes you feel that you are the universe. Therefore,
if you say, realizing the oneness with the universe, "shanti to the
world" every day, then the grace of God will come and there will be world
peace, universal peace. It is the universe within Aum and Aum within you.

husband or children or citizens, all consistent with the role we have taken.
When an actor bitten by a sponge cobra that is brought on the stage falls, the
entire audience cries; but that boy who has fallen knows it was not a real
cobra and he is not dead. Life is a drama --definitely life in this material
world, this physical world of ego, is a drama. But inside, like the boy on the
stage who is quite happy knowing that he didn't die by the bite of the sponge
cobra, like that, the truth never dies in us; it is immortal. So everything
else you consider as drama. That consciousness comes to you by knowing this
mantra.
