Quote #143908

There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Interpretation

The remark pushes back against the idea that serenity requires exotic travel, formal retreats, or imported spiritual authority. By naming ordinary domestic spaces—“your room, your garden or even your bathtub”—it insists that the conditions for inner quiet are available in everyday life, if one learns to turn inward and cultivate stillness. The humor of the bathtub image also demystifies “peace,” treating it less as a rare mystical achievement than as a practical, repeatable experience. In the spirit of Kübler-Ross’s broader emphasis on confronting suffering and mortality directly, the line suggests that what we seek—acceptance, calm, meaning—cannot be outsourced; it is found through attention, presence, and a willingness to be alone with oneself.
