PEACE

 

I am learning more and more that growing spiritually has more to do

with just staying in the present moment and being at peace with

ourselves. Because of the simplicity of this the mind will discount

it. However, it is very powerful in a spiritual sense. The main

problem with the mind has to do with time. The mind is always

thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Neither one

actually exists. The present is always with us in reality. In the

present we are at peace.

 

We can only be at peace with ourselves while staying in the present

and not allowing our minds to dictate who and what we are. We are

not our minds or our thoughts. When we become the observer or the

knower behind our thoughts, we are at peace.

 

When we are at peace, forgiveness is effortless. No one has a

problem with anyone else when they are at peace with themselves.

There is no sickness or disease in our physical bodies when we are at

peace with ourselves. There is no conflict with our fellow human

beings, or God, or within ourselves when we are at peace within

ourselves. Being at peace within ourselves is the essence of loving

ourselves therefore, loving everyone else.

 

So, the answer to all of our searching and problems lies within us in

becoming at peace within ourselves which causes us to be at peace and

one with the universe which includes all. Our minds are the enemies

of peace within ourselves as long as we identify ourselves by our

thinking and our minds. After we realize that we are much more than

our minds or thoughts, then we can use our mind as the wonderful tool

it was designed to be. Remember all resistance to peace comes from

the mind which comes from a place of fear, guilt, insecurity, and

fear of death.

 

So, peace within is the answer. Increasing in knowledge is not

except for knowledge that points you toward peace and love within

yourself.

 

 

These are simple things that the mind cannot understand. Just being

aware that the thinking mind is the problem and becoming the observer

of the mind is enough to break free.

 

 

 

So, loving others is not a struggle when we are at peace with

ourselves. When we have a problem forgiving someone, all we need to

do is resolve whatever is disturbing our peace within, then we can

easily forgive.

 

Peace,

Koushik.
