O Abode of peace
filled with the nectar of peace,
O peaceful energy flowing with benedictions and blessings! Taking the powerful vibrations of mantra in prayer, I bow before you to evoke peace in myself.
I praise you, who can transform
the inauspicious into the auspicious. O sweet peace, transcendent peace, May my whole being be permeated by you!

Jain Yogshästra by Great Hemchandracharya (11th century)
Realizing the True Self: Soul
Soul is not amenable to sense perception as physical objects are, but it is realized through the self-awareness. The soul possesses three major characteristics; consciousness, bliss and energy. The soul has the capacity to experience unlimited consciousness, unlimited happiness and unlimited energy and once that state is achieved, the soul is liberated.
Fight with your own self.
There's no point in fighting with the external foes. Difficulty lies in conquering one's own self.
