Mind and Peace

If we simply analyse when we feel peace in our day today life we find that we were out of regular thought process for sometime and felt good. Peace is also experienced during sleep because mind is not functional. It proves that something like state of no mind gives us peace. We feel another kind of peace after some enjoyment because all the excitement which was there before that pleasure moment simply calms down and during enjoyment we forgot everything for sometime.
We revolt and resist against busy and panicy life, as a result strive and struggle for peace. There is a paradox, the more we struggle to achieve peace, the more peace is lost. Similarly who is not struggling can also not sit peacefully. The basic fact about peace is that it never comes from anything external. If we try for it, we can never get peace but if we close our eyes, stop talking, only slow the thinking process, peace comes automatically.
In our worldly life we are used to create disturbances and start relishing them. Offcourse peace was there before these disturbances appeared. When ever we are able to stop these disturbances again for a while, peace appears and becomes evident. If simply ego is diluted, the sense of ‘I’ and “Mine” is blurred; even if we remain on the scene of occurance, we are not involved and peace is possible.
Following this process, if we go on practicing we may get this separate individual dissolved, ‘I’ mantled with ego disappears in the oneness of life, like a doll made up of sugar dipped in a large tub of sugar solution. It gradually deepen the peace and silence. Ego is further quitened in due course of time in all its aspects. We may reach the state of spontaneous life and time cycle by this process and reach where there is no pride and fears, no regrets and tears.
