Inner Peace

What can give you everlasting inner peace from Money?, Fame?, Success?, Support of Family?, Love?, Comfort?, Truth?, Honesty?, Rituals? We follow good or bad ways to achieve all of these things……Do you think all this can lie with you forever and bring inner peace?

Everlasting Inner Peace can be achieved from an everlasting thing….. The only everlasting thing in this world is your own soul. Achieving the constant awareness of your soul will bring inner peace throughout your life.

The Gnani Purush (enlightened one) says in order to attain inner peace; you have to first know your true Self. The Self can only be known when the Gnani Purush graces you with Self realization. The Soul is the true Self. The Soul itself is peace and inner bliss.

Generally for inner peace people set out to control and still the mind. The Gnani says the mind is not a thing that can be controlled. The mind by nature is restless; it is physical and it is like a machine. So how can you still and control that which by nature is restless? There is inner peace only when you come into your own natural Self.

As far as the mind is concerned, in order to understand it, you have to know its true nature. The mind can only be contained through Gnan; knowledge of the real Self. When you realize your true Self, you become enlightened. The mind will only submit to a Gnani i.e. to the one who is Self realized. A Self realized person has the experience of being separate from the physical complex of the mind, body and speech. This physical complex is the relative self and it is inanimate. The real Self, the Soul is sentient, eternal and omniscient. Knowledge is active; it has the power to keep the Self and the non-Self separate.

After Self realizatopn all activities of the non-self complex will continue as before but because of your awareness of being the real Self, you will be able to remain separate from inner turmoil of worries and anxieties. The universal knowledge the Gnani gives you will come into your experience as you follow his five major directives and other axioms like ‘Adjust everywhere’, ‘Avoid conflicts’, ‘Whatever happens is justice’ and ‘Fault is of the sufferer’. Thousands of people who have attained Self realized are testimonials to the inner peace they feel by simply remaining within the realm of their real Self. The Knowledge of the Self has the power to keep one in inner peace amidst all trials and tribulations. His inner enemies of anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment and abhorrence become feeble and ineffective. Not only that, but there is natural and spontaneous forgiveness for one’s adversary. Inner peace is absence of anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment and abhorrence, but the bliss of the Self is a state for which there are no words. It is the nectar of pure being-ness. One simply has to come into this state and follow the Gnani’s directives.
