Inner Search of Peace

Dear Balarishi,
I am in search of peace.To attain peace,i am even prepared to be away from the worldly life.But i do not know the way for that also.What shall i do?

You live in this society.Your family and the society where you live are all accustomed to certain behaviors and thought patterns.

By hearing and seeing

those things,you also learn them.They become your identities.Though you prefer or not you carry those identities with you.on the other hand you have a quest for peace.

But are you aware where the real confusion lies? You assume that the peace is somewhere else and so as to attain it you have to renounce certain things.But the peace is really within you.It is neither something to reach by escaping from other responsibilities nor the one which you will see in the grave.

If you are able to connect with the peace inside you, all these worries and oscillations will go.

Life is sometimes cruel only.You have to live this life.But how you want to live is very much in your discretion.You can choose to life it with a miserable mind and a long face.Or else you can choose to live peacefully by accepting the inevitable and realizing that this life is a one time opportunity.If you are capable of getting tuned with your inner self,you can be free from these emotional turbulence.

I have seen that most people in middle age are able to accept certain advices though they dislike them,if they find them to be true.But many think its their freedom to refuse to see facts.They think denying truth is their personal freedom.

They stick strong to their wrong apprehensions and fool themselves by believing they are right.

In fact sathsang itself is an arrangement to help you to see the truth beyond your identities,beliefs and ideas.I shall elaborate on this later
