The Peace Of Mind

The peace begins in the mind so one has to work on calming down the mind to acheive the peace.

All human beings are made up of the same stuff and still there is diference between them, in real sense the human body is like a machine brain, nervous system etc. but without spirit the existance of all this is meaningless.

The Spirit is very important. There is only one Spirit. One Spirit is filling the whole Cosmos. It is the same Spirit filling and activating all the bodies in the Cosmos. There is no one spirit better than another, because it is the same Spirit manifesting through all the bodies.

Between the body and the Spirit there is the personality, the ego. It comes into existence between of the Spirit and the body, when these two unite. The pure Spirit manifests and sees the world through this personality. It is like looking at the world through some sort of eyeglasses, and here starts all the trouble in the world.

The personality, which is the ego, is composed of thoughts, ideas, habits ,memories and past experiences. A person living in a certain society grows with society's ideas and beliefs, no matter whether these ideas are positive or negative, true or false.

People are born into a certain societies, tribes, nations or religions, and seldom change their ideas and beliefs. Later, as they grow up, they join, groups, clubs, support certain sports teams, join certain societies, political parties. People with same ideas and beliefs often join and unite with people having the same ideas and beliefs. If their beliefs are positive or harmless, it is all right. The trouble begins when they start thinking they are better than others, and when they start molesting or hurting other groups.

People under the effect of emotions behave in the same way. If they are angry with a particular person, because of something he has actually done, or because they erroneously assume he or she had hurt them, they try to hurt everyone connected with that person, even if they are innocent. Too often they do not distinguish between the members of a group. That is why one group of people fights another group, one country fight another country and one religion against another religion. Isn't it futile and ridiculous?

The aim of a human being should be to rise above the ego, above thoughts and beliefs. One has to look at the world through the eyes of the Spirit and not through the eyes of the ego. From the point of view of the Spirit, the ego is only an illusion and is temporary. Why should one be enslaved by thoughts that come and go? Why should one harm others because of certain of thought that rule his or her life? Why should one accept certain thoughts and beliefs and reject others? Thoughts ate like clouds that pass through the sky. You are the sky, not the thoughts. You are one with everyone else in the world, an inseparable part of the One Spirit.

Peace and real freedom come from within, when one is able to rise above the mind, above the ego, and to able to live in the Spirit and look at everything from the eyes of this Spirit. You can do that. You can start today. How? By changing the way you think, by making inner changes, by inner work and through meditation.
