If peace is permanent it is called Realisation

Devotee:  I get into meditation and reach a point which may be called peace and a contemplative mood. What should be the next step?

Ramana Maharishi:  Peace is Self-Realisation. Peace need not be disturbed. One should aim at Peace only.

Devotee:  But I do not have the satisfaction.

Ramana Maharishi:  Because your peace is temporary. If made permanent it is called Realisation
