If one gains the Peace of the Self, it will spread without any effort on the part of the individual. When one is not peaceful, oneself, how can one spread peace in the world? Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others. Happiness is born of Peace and can reign only when there is no disturbance. Disturbance is due to thoughts, which arise in the mind. When the mind is absent there will be perfect Peace. — Ramana Maharshi
