I feel mental peace is above all. I was in a discussion with a patient who was suffering from a terminal disease. He asked me how to be peaceful. He said that he was unable to feel peaceful because he feels his family environment is very bad. That environment is not according to him. And it would never be!
The peace is inside us and then we create around us. We cannot expect the entire family to live as per us and then expect everything to be peaceful. For a certain time you will peaceful but everyone else will feel disturbed because they have lost the freedom to be who they are. After some time they will speak up and then there will be again chaos.
So what’s the solution?
We need to get rid of conflicts which are happening in our mind. Whatever is there in mind, our actions are guided by that. If there is a conflict, then there will be conflict. If there is peace, we will create peace around us. But for own peace, we can never disturb other’s peace.
So what shall we do to be peaceful?
First of all, we need to get rid of the thoughts that are disturbing us. WE need to talk it out, express, forgive, whatever we have to do, we need to do. WE need to let it go. Then we need to start working on creating peace and maintaining it.
How shall we do it?
The path is always the same. In fact what looks like different paths to the same destination, also are a part of one path. We need to follow the route of love, happiness, forgiveness, compassion, oneness, peace and all. We follow one, we find everything else.
