Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 15. Do Not Disturb the Peace of Others If you hate others, if you injure others, if you abuse your servants, if you taunt your children, if you ill-treat your wife at home and subordinates in the office, if you cheat people in business†" if you do all these and much more and still expect peace of mind, you are asking for the impossible. Also, you do not deserve it. A man who disturb the peace of others has no right to expect peace of mind for himself. So, mend yourself. Peace of mind arises out of spiritual growth. It is true that spiritual growth is an inward process that spiritual life is an inward life. But it is equally true that such growth is greatly aided by external support and greatly marred by external incompatibles. Hence they prescribe Sattvic diet, Sattvic dress, Sattvic reading, Sattvic company, Sattvic environment, Sattvic habits in general. Hence they prescribe prayer and pilgrimage. Svadhyaya and Satsanga, fasts and festivals. Do not give up these powerful external aids. Rather resort to them purposefully for quicker evolution. When you have advanced enough, they will drop off by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
