Does Inner Peace Exist?
By: Vijay Warman, Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui Consultant
In this world, we experience and witness continuously the turmoil, unrest, war and devastation. The absence of peace and the need for peaceful living becomes more and more imperative. But in order to have peace in the world, we need to have peace in our communities, and in order to have peace in our communities, we need to have peaceful people in those communities. Modern Societies reflect the state of the people within that society. Peace cannot exist in a society unless the individuals within that society change and experience inner peace within themselves. But does this peace exist?
Yes, this peace exists, it is existential. You are born with it and have known it all along. The minds get corrupted with time and everything is learned, every situation is a taught experience. Your ideas on religion, spirituality, economics and so on, everything is bound to differ to a certain degree from everyone and this degree of separation has gradually created separations of people. But, these are all differentiated ways of understanding the same situation. The mind analyzes, and settles down with what the ego believes to be the most appropriate result of a particular situation. What if we do not apply the mind at all? What if we go with everything in a heartfelt way? What if the mind does not exist – then only peace would exist!
The mind is nothing more than perhaps a series of pre conceived notions from our own education, formal and social, nothing more than our own thoughts spinning into a perceived reality! Let go of these thoughts, and then in the emptiness, there is only peace.
And all peace is inner.
It has nothing to do with the outside, it has nothing to with the other. If you have peace within, then nothing or no one on the outside can bother you. For a person to be at peace, he needs to go beyond his pre-occupations with the ego-driven self and move towards the virtues. He needs to transform his ego-personality which is the hub of all his conflicts and negative attributes and shed his associated jealousy, selfishness, greed, anger, lust etc by transcending to a higher level, where the demanding ego is no longer the dominating force.
So go ahead, I wish you good luck in your quest for this inner peace.
It is there, just re-discover it!
