Today, we are right in the vortex of a crisis in human history. Fear stalks mankind, from one end of the world to the other. Anxiety rules the heart of people and deprives them everywhere of sleep and rest and joy and laughter. Virtue has become rare, and wickedness has put on respectable robes. In the family, in society, in the nation, and in the community there is a pathetic cry for peace (santhi). But we need not despair; we have a Prasanthi Nilayam, the abode of Supreme Peace, where Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has inaugurated the process of reestablishing Prasanthi (Supreme Peace)! His Miraculous Powers proclaim Him a God; His Omniscience astounds the pundits of science; His Omnipresence is felt even across the seven seas; His Grace is available to all who cleanse their hearts with the tears of repentance. He is thirty-six years of age now, and He has promised to wear this human habiliment for well nigh sixty years more. He teaches us the secret of Supreme Peace in conversation, by speeches, and through His letters and writings. These last are to be found in the monthly magazine, published from the Prasanthi Nilayam, and this book is the English translation of a series He wrote on the subject of Supreme Peace (Prasanthi). Study it with devotion, dear reader, and practise its lessons, for they are from the Avatar of the Lord Himself, come to retell the ancient wisdom to men who have lost their way.
