calm and steady mind

All the people in this world want to live a peaceful life. Peace means different things to everyone. For some it is security and absence of physical suffering i.e. diseases. For many people it means living without fear and without attack. While for some it is just to live in a state of inner satisfaction. Some people believe that living lovingly with the people around you is peace. When we look at peace on a global scale, we consider it to be the absence of wars, conflicts and riots. The surprising thing is that despite the long-standing search for peace by many, it seems imaginary to us because there are very few people who have found peace on their own. Well, nothing on this earth gives us peace forever. So we think peace is really difficult to find?

First we have to consider carefully what is peace? According to the dictionary, peace is freedom from pain and suffering and it is a state of peace and tranquility. This definition also hides the answer to the question why is it so difficult to find peace? While we see that life and happiness go hand in hand, whether one is poor or rich, king or pauper, problems keep coming one after the other in everyone's life. So how can we find peace in such a situation? If we look for peace in our external life, we get only a few moments of peace. Surely there are times in our lives when we feel happy with our loved ones or there are moments when we are proud of our achievements. If you look at it, such moments last only for a while.
