Tranquility of Mind ( Part 2 )
Peace of Mind ( part 2 )
As I had to finish part-I in a hurry, I am appending part 2 and thus take the opportunity to continue the subject. Please continue reading.
The Mother says 'A fire is burning there in the deep quietude of the heart.It is the divinity in you-your true being.Hear its voice and follow its dictates.'
We are conscious of only insignificant portion of our being, for the most part we are unconscious. Undivine forces hence enter into us and make us as slaves.
We can easily understand the forces hidden and apparent and that pull us down. To have peace of mind we should resolutely refuse the undivine forces to enter inside.
When we remain in peace, there is no space for desires which means there is no scope for repentance.
All human beings have the same basic wish to remain happy and not to suffer. Unfortunately, we are not aware of the real causes for happiness or for suffering. It is generally taken for granted that if a person acquires wealth, property, vehicles,and eats good food and have friends, he is happy. People spend time and energy in pursuit of these inorder to be happy. But, in the process they become more unhappy or suffer. Rich and more food causes indigestion. Unhealthy food served in hotels leads to food poisoning. Associates cause illwill and it will lead to strained relationships.Vehicles give problems and there are fixed costs in maintaining them. Accidents can prove fatal at times.Acquiring wealth causes worries and there are raids to expose the black money.
Happiness and suffering are opposite entities. The material which gives happiness should not give rise to suffering or trouble;but the illustrations above prove it to be otherwise.
Why? because happiness and suffering are states of mind and so their causes can not be found outside the mind.The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful we could care less about the external conditions.
The remedy lies in avoiding oscillations of the mind. Prayers and meditations are the best undisputed tools in this direction.
MORE THINGS ARE WROUGHT BY PRAYER THAN THIS WORLD DREAMS OF.

If we do constantly seek happiness, and wealth is not a source of happiness, why are we reluctant to renouncing the riches. I guess money and fame brings happiness and sorrow. It is the delicate balance that is needed to keep life going. After all we are mortal.
Dr Taylor says: I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world, and the more peaceful our planet will be.
