When thoughts come, you must not look at them, must not listen to them, must not pay any attention at all, you must behave as though they did not exist, you see! And then, repeat all the time like a kind of… how shall I put it? -As an idiot does, who repeats the same thing always. Well, you must do the same thing; you must repeat: "Peace, peace, peace." So you try this for a few minutes and then do what you have to do; and then, another time, you begin again; sit down again and then try. Do this on getting up in the morning, do this in the evening when going to bed. There comes a time when you no longer need to sit down, and no matter what you are doing, no matter what you are saying, it is always: "Peace, peace, peace."…
You must be very simple in these things. It is as though you were learning how to call a friend: by dint of being called he comes. Well, make peace and calm your friends and call them: "Come, peace, peace, peace, peace, come!"
