Your peace and happiness resides inside you.BY: jaya | Category: Self Improvement | Post Date: 2009-08-19
Human being is a unique creation of God. Human life is very precious. It is said to be a precious gift from the God. Now, the question arises that what is so special in it due to which it is asserted as so much precious and unique? It is usually said by many philosophers and thinkers, that -the human being is nothing but a bundle of thoughts-. Human being has the power of thinking and not only this but he also has the power to convert his thoughts into actions and this is a significant mark that make the human beings different from the other creatures. He also has the ability to make his dreams true. And due to these powers the human life is considered so much unique and precious. A human being can do whatever he wants do with the power of thoughts. Every human being has great power in his self, but in spite of having the treasure of powers, today we are getting weaker and weaker. We are becoming victim of depression, tensions and many other mental diseases. What is the reason behind it? Have we ever tried to think over it? The answer may be -no-! The reason of our mental weakness is that, we are misutilizing our powers only in obtaining materialistic things, money etc .We are just running towards materials, physical facilities, money and even towards relationships. It is not wrong to have all these, but it is definitely wrong to get mad about these. When we do not get what we want, whether an object, money, comforts or even our expectations from others, we get upset and afraid about these all. Instead of becoming the owner of all of these, we have become their slaves. But what is there in those materials and things due to which we are becoming restless? Actually we all have asserted that, we can get peace and happiness from all those things but in reality it is not so! This is our -ignorance-. -Ignorance- simply means the absence of true knowledge or we can also say the inability to see what is true. In reality the peace and happiness are within us but we all are ignorant about it. We all say that we want peace and happiness. For these we have also done many efforts, but till now have we ever realized them? May be no! We don't know their right meaning and the way how to realize them? If we ponder over the meaning of the peace then we would find that, peace is a -silence of mind-. It is a state of mind, where there are very less, pure and only focused thoughts. Happiness is also a state of mind, where there is extreme joy. Happiness and peace are very closely related to each other. Peace is the mother of happiness and true love. Thus, when we would realize our peace, we would automatically get our true happiness and love. Even in the -Bhagavat Gita-, the lord Krishna has had said that; the person who does not have peace, can't never be happy. If someone asks me that, today what is lacking in our lives? Then my answer will be -peace-. For one minute, ask yourself that in spite of having everything, do we really have peace in our minds? Till now, we have spent our so much of precious time with others but, have we ever spent one minute with our inner peace and happiness? May be no. One saint has greatly said that, today everything is set in our homes, we have tea sets, sofa sets, bed sets, but the person who is living in the home is upset! We all have the same condition. It is not so that, we haven't made any efforts. We have! But the way in which we are making our efforts is wrong. The way where we are finding it, is wrong. We are finding it in the outer world but, it is inside us. Whenever, we feel peace or happiness after having or doing something, then it is just a reflection of our inner peace and happiness. In reality there is no peace and happiness in any object, work or relationship. Peace and happiness reside inside us. Even the nature of every soul is peace, happiness and love. If there is peace and happiness in this outer world, in the relationships and materials, then why sometimes we get afraid of this world or from its relationships? Why its relations start giving sorrow to us? If there is happiness in the materials, then why we get bore with them and want to buy something new? Because there is nothing like peace and happiness .Peace and happiness can only be there where there is stability. And this outer world is full of uncertainties. We are just like that buyer who wants to buy vegetables from a shoe's shop. Ok, let me tell u a short and sweet story. Once upon time, there were two fishes .They both were very close friend of each other. One named as Nina and other named as Mina. One day they were talking to each other. They had a very nice talk that day. Nina was just going to her home, suddenly, Mina called her and said that, I have a question in my mind, would you please give its answer? Nina said yes, of course. Mina said that, she heard two fishes talking about water? That, water is very necessary for us and if it would get finished then we will die! Mina asked to Nina that, what is water and where it is? Then Nina replied, oh, Mina don't you know? We live inside the water! Then Mina suddenly got shocked and said I am totally mad. The water which is always around me and in which I am living, I did not know about that! For this she had thanked her best friend and went to home. Hey friends, don't you feel that we are just like that fish, Mina who lived inside the water but didn't know about it. Similarly, we all have the ocean of peace and happiness inside us but we are finding them outside. Our desire is right but the way to realize it is wrong. Due to which in this long journey of life, instead of getting our inner wealth, we are becoming beggars and impure. Yes it can be happened that once a thing has lost somewhere then it is difficult to regain it. But it is not difficult to find something, which is hidden in our home. Similarly our peace has not lost somewhere but it is just hidden by layers of ignorance and impurity. When we will remove those layers we will find that, we are flowing in the deep ocean of peace, happiness and true love. Thus, if we really want to realize our true nature of peace, happiness and love, then we should always be thankful, for what God is giving to us. As we all have got human life. Therefore without wasting this opportunity, we should do the journey of self realization. With the help of which, we can remove the layers of ignorance and impurity. Especially there is no special efforts are required to feel peace and happiness. You just need to empty your mind from undesired and impure thoughts, it is just like to empty your room from undesired things and then you come to know that how much place you have. If we would do so, then we would find that our peace and happiness are standing before to welcome us. Article Source: http://www.saching.com About Author / Additional Info: I am jaya a; hobby writer.
