‘Why pray for the peace for the soul? The soul is peace, truth, wisdom, beauty and joy. The individual’s soul is part of a higher soul. You don’t know the nature of soul. Your prayer is not going to give it additional peace. Only those who don’t know the essence, the core, the nature and the reality of man, will pray for peace of the departed soul. The departed soul had peace even before it departed. (Sathya Sai Baba – God in Action, p.67)
