PEACE
Become aware of your original qualities. Imagine that nothing exists outside the room. You feel completely insulated from the outside world and free to explore your inner world. Turn all attention inward, concentrating on thought energy at the center of the forehead. Feel a sense of detachment from the physical body and surroundings. Become aware of the stillness around you and within you. A feeling of natural peacefulness steals over you. Waves of peace gently wash over you, removing any restlessness and tension from your mind. Concentrate on this feeling of deep peace. Just peace. Peace is your true state of being.Your mind becomes very calm and clear. Sit for a while enjoying this feeling of calmness and serenity.
You are a peaceful person.The original nature of every human being is peace. Return to the moment of birth. What were you then? Just a living being, a being who does not think, who does not feel the expansion of family, religion, nationality. You were at complete rest. Relax. You are in complete silence. Silence is creation of positive powerful thoughts. Silence gives rest to the mind and this means giving rest to the body. Sometimes rest is the only medicine needed. A man would like to take rest after continuous running; similarly man’s mind requires rest from continuous thoughts. We need to check the speed of our thoughts and its breaking system otherwise we may meet with an accident. Silence is not mere absence of sound, but stillness of mind. If feasible, embrace silence as it gives rise to valuable and eternal thoughts.
He who seeks peace must look for it within himself. Spend some time with yourself. It is only when you love for yourself that you forgive yourself. Mistakes are caused by lack of attention, and then there is tension.We learn from our success, but we really learn from our mistakes. To regret deeply is to start afresh. If you miss an opportunity, don’t cloud your eyes with tears; keep your visions clear so that you will not miss the next one. When one door closes, another door opens. But we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which opened for us.
You can experience lightness when each thought of yours is special. You are a special person. Nobody can play your role, better than you. Be light by checking and changing at the same time. If through some error, yesterday was lost in grief, don’t lose today by keeping it in your memory. Your lightness lies in your ability to forget the past and enjoy the present. To taste the sweetness of life, you must have the power to forget the past. If you think high, you feel heavy & burdened. Consider your critics as your well wishers. By describing your weaknesses and drawbacks they are acting as a psychotherapist without charging fees. You can have good wishes for everyone when you consider the people who put obstacles in your way as your teachers.
Forgive all people who have created hurdles in your life and made it more difficult to live. Unless you take this positive step you won’t be able to forget all those unhappy and painful incidents.To tolerate someone else’s mistake is one thing; to forgive them is even greater. Hate the sin, not the sinner. Good feelings towards others improve relationships. If some one speaks with anger, pour the soothing waters of love on the fire. Use the weapon of knowledge instead of using anger, which is the weapon of ignorance. If you wanted and didn’t get in spite of your handsome efforts then, may be that is of no use to you. Become free from obstacles by finishing wasteful questions.
Lightness make you to fly if you let the waste to go. The more you try to guess, the less you are at rest. Silence is golden when you can’t think of a good answer. You may not be knowing the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. Success comes from calmness of the mind. It is a cold iron, which cuts and bends hot iron. Calmness and tolerance act like air-conditioning in a room; they increase man’s efficiency. To stay peaceful, you need compassion and strength. Freedom starts in the mind not by cutting ropes.
You can truly experience freedom when you are free from weakness.To be really independent means not even to lean on excuses. If there is turmoil internally, then everything outside seems confused. Often postponement of actions causes lapse of concentration. No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back. If your direction is right, you don’t have to look at your watch. Simplicity in life leads to peace. Gandhiji told the British “the more times you put me in the jail, the more powerful I become” through the power of silence. You cannot make a fool of the one who keeps cool.The way to make each and every task easy is to consider it to be easy.
Feel free while interacting with others. Good relations make us light. Each person is special. If you always compare with others you may suffer either with inferiority or superiority complex, both of which are harmful. To maintain peace of mind, use your eyes, ears & mouth with care. Your eyes deceive you most. Control them. An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. If man can’t find peace within himself, can there be peace in the world? For war, one side is enough but for peace you need two. Wars are born in the minds of men, not in the battlefields. With science many things are possible but with silence nothing is impossible.
If you consider all your actions are for God, then every task becomes a pleasure to perform. Never disclose your weakness to anyone except God.To forget troubles remember God. Whatever you do, surrender the result to God. Have a peaceful day.
