Shanthi or Peace does not mean that a person should not react at all, whatever others may say or however they may abuse him. It does not mean that he/she must be silent as a rock. It involves mastery of all the senses and all the passions; inner peace must become one's nature. Shaanthi has detachment as the basic quality. The sea, which likes to gather and possess, lies low; the cloud that likes to renounce and give up is high in the sky. Shanthi endows man with an unruffled mind and steady vision. The prayer for shanthi is usually repeated thrice. "Om, shaanthi, shaanthi, shaanthihi," since Peace is prayed for, in the physical, mental and spiritual planes.
