Positive Aids to Peace of Mind

By

Sri N. Ananthanarayanan

 

Introduction

 

It is common knowledge that good health and economic security are

a " must " for peace of mind. But having both, many are still in a

state of perpetual mental restlessness. Do you belong to this

category? If you say " Yes, " then read on. The chances are that your

trouble is mostly of your own making and therefore avoidable. Let us

see how.

 

Do Not Criticise Anybody or Anything

 

Do you interfere too often in the affairs of others? May be they are

wrong. But why should you be disturbed on that account? Do not

criticise anybody or anything. God has not delegated to you the

authority to sit in judgment over others. All men act the way they do

because they are prompted that way by the God within them. It is a

good rule to mind your own business to keep your peace.

 

Mind your own business. An excellent dictum to follow for the man who

prizes peace of mind above everything else. Nothing in this world

requires your attention. There is a God to look after everything in

fact. He looks after you as well. Do not forget this fact.

 

Let me repeat: Mind your own business. Do not criticise anybody or

anything. Criticism is tantamount to blasphemy. Why? Because whatever

happens happens by the Will of God. Nothing can happen without the

concurrence of God. The fact that something has happened†" no matter

whether it is good or bad from your point of view†" is in itself proof

positive that it has God’s approval. And if you criticise the

happening, you are questioning the Will of God, the Wisdom of God,

the justice of God. Do not do that. You will keep your peace.
