=How Can One Achieve Calm?=
You sit quietly, to begin with; and then, instead of thinking of fifty things, you begin saying to yourself, "Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, calm, peace!" You imagine peace and calm. You aspire, ask that it may come: "Peace, peace, calm." And then, when something comes and touches you and acts, say quietly, like this, "Peace, peace, peace." Do not look at the thoughts, do not listen to the thoughts, you understand. You must not pay attention to everything that comes. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/8-september-1954#p45</ref>
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!"

Before you go to sleep, concentrate a few seconds in the aspiration that the sleep may restore your fatigued nerves, bring calm and quietness to your brain so that on waking you may, with renewed vigour, begin again your journey on the path of the great discovery. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/psychic-education-and-spiritual-education#p13</ref>
==By Surrender==
This complete self-surrender must be the chief mainstay of the sadhaka because it is the only way, apart from complete quiescence and indifference to all action,—and that has to be avoided,—by which the absolute calm and peace can come. The persistence of trouble, "aśānti", the length of time taken for this purification and perfection, itself must not be allowed to become a reason for discouragement and impatience. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-action-of-equality#p4</ref>
