Finding Inner Peace and Staying There
…in a busy world

Inner peace is clarity.
Clarity is clear space.
Clear space is emptiness.
Emptiness is purity.
Purity is wisdom.
Wisdom is recognition.
Recognition is understanding.
Understanding is inner peace.
Inner peace is clarity.
It’s all one.

So, how do we maintain inner peace in a busy world?

Well, within this inner peace, clarity, space, emptiness, purity, recognition, understanding, wisdom, there is a residue of karmic reactions that arise in the mind like a movie from the past. This maintains our involvement in this world-mind. The way out is to merely accept it: don’t reject it. Let it come and let it go.

But… But… But!!! No buts. We can either stress ourselves – and those around us – by constantly getting involved in the multiplex movie theatre, or we can live in our spiritual understanding.

Don’t expect our karmic reactions not to be there, as they are our path.
Our path is our confusion; our misunderstanding about reality.
Our human life is merely our karma playing itself out.
As we sowed so we reap.
Inner peace comes when we accept this.
Some days our path is smooth, and some days rough,
but inner peace is always present.
Know that.
It’s our natural state.

We have to learn to accept everything with one taste, and not become too involved. When our day is smooth we don’t bother, and when it’s rough we become annoyed. Inner peace is stability. In this age, life is cheap. Every day there is news of killing: it is as if the earth is one great conveyor belt on a killing machine.

That’s the Kali Yuga for you. If it’s not killing bodies, it is killing inner peace.

We all have to die, and we need to die in peace, for the next part of our journey. While we are here, we do what we can with the abilities we have. The more inner peace, the more we are able to help others.

If we can accept this, then we will find satisfaction in life.
Satisfaction is being in the moment.
Spontaneous presence.
Inner peace is inner dignity.

Satisfaction lies in experiencing every moment
without expectation.
Thus, we maintain clarity and inner peace.
