“When you are at peace, you are connected to the Grace of God. So, stay connected to him Who is eager to make you happy.”

-HH Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj

Never Ignore Peace while Seeking Happiness

Happiness is the prime call of hearts and everyone is trying to achieve it through various means. Happiness from materialistic gains and achievements is alright but still you need inner peace for enjoying these sources of happiness. It is important since it makes you effective in whatever you are doing. And it would be tough to achieve anything significant without it.

If an anxious person tries to accomplish a task, he might face problems in accomplishing it efficiently. There are very few chances that the job will be done correctly. It may turn into a big accident as well, causing great harm to all. Your karma, however, should lead you towards progress and development, not towards destruction.

Therefore, it is necessary that you maintain your inner calm while performing your worldly duties and never ignore it in collecting materials of comfort and happiness.

Advantages of Having a Tranquil Heart

A tranquil mind & heart also help you keep a smile on your face. Disturbed and anxious people who are only behind fulfilling desires, cannot even laugh genuinely. Their laughter also looks artificial- just for show off. A serene mind keeps your voice sweet and behavior decent and it happens because your inner attributes are reflected outside.

Today, the world is facing disturbance & chaos because people are so involved in accumulating materials of happiness only. They ignore clam and just don’t care about it. They are so much into ‘let’s-do-it-now-forget-tomorrow’ attitude. But if you want real happiness, refrain from acting like that.

Always think about tomorrow’s peace before taking any action today because peace is the foundation of long-term happiness. So, as you seek happiness and materialistic possessions do not do it at the cost of your inner calm.

But why is it important?

Why do you Need Inner Calm?

It is important to maintain the state of calm, although it’s tough to feel at peace all the time. Accept it, yet try to maintain it during the major part of your day. It will result in a lot of positive happenings.

You will begin to see happiness in small matters you never thought were significant, like the ability to move, think, breathe, eat, or look at the wonders of nature. A calm mind, moreover, teaches you to be tolerant. It also inspires you to take one step at a time and not make a hurry. You start giving importance to good health and wellness.

Further, your relationships take a positive turn because now you appreciate every moment you have with your near and dear ones. You also feel more confident to take on life’s challenges. And most importantly, now you handle failures, losses and other unfortunate circumstances of life gracefully. Inner calm, therefore, makes your life positive and beautiful.

But how to find it?

In the Search of Tranquility

Understand that the journey of everyone is different and so the search. However, when it comes to finding inner peace, you may use these steps.

 1. Keep your Mind Tidy

Your mind is like a room. When this space is occupied with doubts in the form of ‘what if’ along with worries & matters, there is no way you’d have enough space to fill it with other vital things. This is true that it’s quite difficult to just tell yourself to stop thinking, yet you may remind yourself to not overthink issues and only contemplate what you can handle. So, take some time to clear your mind of unimportant matters and keep it tidy for giving space to inner silence.

 2. It is Impossible to Control Everything, Accept it!

Know that you do not have absolute control over all aspects of life. You’re a human being and there’s only enough you can do about anything. So, stop blaming yourself for things that you did not do or could not prevent.

But along with that, also be responsible for your actions and be mature enough to accept your faults. Because acceptance gives you immense calm.

 3. Circumstances Don’t Define you

When facing a problem for a long time or going through a series of tragic incidents, many people look at themselves through the eyes of their bad experiences only. Understand that you are NOT just your circumstances.

They are only a small part of your life. They don’t define your entire life and they certainly don’t define you as well.

Life is a long journey where scenes and imagery change. Constantly remind yourself of this.

 4. Live Wisely and Take a Break through MEDITATION

Freedom is the ultimate need of everyone. People want to act freely and there is nothing wrong in that. Yet, understand that setting boundaries is important. They help you stay in check and act wisely.  Some of the boundaries you may set include diet restrictions, sleeping time, TV time, adopting healthy habits, etc.

Moreover, do not forget to give yourself a break. At times, it’s alright to put everything on hold and meditate for a while, which is the most beneficial way to find inner peace. Practice guided meditation under a Guru and get available to the most beautiful place on the earth-your inner space.

So, use these steps in order to find your inner calm amid all your efforts to collect material comfort and happiness. That way you will become more peaceful and even more happy and prosperous.
