Certainly, peace, purity and silence can be felt in all material things - for the Divine Self is there in all.

Peace can be brought down into the physical - to its very cells. It is the active transformation of the physical that cannot be completely done without the supramental descent.

If a wide calm can be established in the physical consciousness, occupying and filling the very body and all its cells, that can become the basis for its transformation; in fact, without this wideness and calmness the transformation is hardly possible.

In Sri Aurobindo's yoga, the transformation of the body is indispensable so far as it can be done. Because the aim of this yoga is not an escape from the physical consciousness but a divinisation of that consciousness.

I presume that (feeling peace very concretely in the lobes of the brain) would mean that the peace had become or was becoming very material and solid and physically tangible - "peace in the cells". Everything is a "substance" - even peace, consciousness, Ananda, - only there are different orders of substance.
