Inner peace

Alas! The one thing we all madly pursue “inner peace “will be the only thing which eludes us ……………

How can we have the cake and eat it too?

The mystery of finding yourself is like a mirage or is it an attainable fruit?

Will our perceptions, ideologies, beliefs etc guide us?

Man has traveled so far from dancing around the bonfire he created for his survival to the lovely discotheques. As rightly pointed out by Freud and Maslow ; hopefully we all will reach self actualization by primarily satisfying our carnal instincts.

If there is one truth, which has derived form the Stone Ages is that “The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self “……….

The fire was a powerful tool man created to fulfill his needs and he danced around it;
The dance took various forms as we progressed …we can dance only if we have fire….

So the fire in us is the strongest thing which can propel us ………

Thought – the act or process of thinking – is one of the greatest powers we possess. A great majority gets entangled in the web and loose sight …………” Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it “…………………………

As I gather, we all have an “Invented self” and a Discovered self; and if we wisely make a concoction of the both, we will be at peace.

I strongly believe that, the proper upkeep of our, body, mind and soul; the quest to learn, an open mind, all this will result in a developing a conscience, which allows us to grow personally and eventually will enhance the quality of our lives.

At least I hope so……………………
