Inner And Outer world
"The world is not the same to all people.Each one lives in his or her own little domain.Peace and harmony may reside in one person's world, strife and grief in another's world.
But whatever be the circumstances of one's environment, it consists of both an inner and an outer world. The outside world is the one in which our life is engaged in action and interaction.The world inside us determine our happiness or unhappiness.
To exist in this world without peace of mind is to dwell in a kind of hell. The mind in chaos finds chaos all round. But the man of divine perceptions finds the earth a blissful abode.
So let us try to quiet the outgoing mental restlessness and turn the mind within and practice even minded calmness all the time."

Givers And Takers
"The takers are the people who believe their lives will always be the total of what they can get from the world. They are always thinking to get, get and get. They plan and scheme ways to get what they want in money, in love, in happiness etc.
But whatever may be their spiritual ideals or lack of any, no matter what they take, they can never know peace, security and fulfillment.
The givers, on the other hand, are convinced that life is a giving process. Thus their subtle motivation in all their ways is to give themselves away, in love, in service, and in all the many helpful ways they can invest themselves. They are always secure, for they intuitively know that their good flows from within."
(- Frances Hodgson Burnett -)

Inner Peace
"Seeker: What should we do to attain peace in our lives?Master: If you want peace you should not search for it. Because it is already there. You must realize when you put in effort to get peace, that very effort destroys peace.
Effort in any form in the inner world is conflict.
Absence of effort is peace. "

Your Attention Please
"Please be on the lookout for symptoms of Inner Peace.
The heart's of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it's possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs to look for:
A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
An unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment .
A loss of interest in judging other people.
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others .
A loss of interest in conflict.A loss of the ability to worry (this is a very serious symptom)Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation .
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
Frequent attacks of smiling.
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
An increased susceptibility to the love offered by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
Please be forewarned!!! if you have all or even most of the above symptoms, your condition may be too far advanced to turn back. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting several of these symptoms, remain exposed at your own risk.

This condition of inner peace is likely well into its infectious stage."

Inner Enkindling
‘In everyone’s life,’ wrote Albert Schweitzer, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953, ‘at sometime, our inner fire goes out. It then bursts into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.’ But it is far from easy to find such enkindling personalities in our day-to-day life and even if there are some, having an encounter with them is rarer still. Blessed are the moments when such encounters take place—setting afire our inner spirit, providing much needed succour and direction in life and thereby filling us with meaningfulness and fulfilment.."
Have your ever encountered such a noble soul? Please share your experiences.

Peace
My philosopher friend,Jennifer of http://goodnessgraciousness.blogspot.com/
has asked her readers to write on...:I Hold The Vision On Peace...: So I express my opinion as follows:
As we all know that every human being is made of three basic elements: Body,Mind and Soul.
Until all these elements are properly taken care of, it is not possible to envisage peace in the society.
Body: To maintain our bodies we require provision of security of food.No body should remain under nourished or starved.No starvation deaths should take place.
To keep ourselves healthy, provision of medical facilities should be available for all.
Mind: Education plays a vital role in developing our minds. So provision of education for all should be there. Education must be not only of professional/job oriented but should also be of character building.
And the need for Financial Security can not be underestimated.Every body should have equal opportunities to make his/her living.

Soul:This is also a very important area which cannot be ignored.If we have made provision for
financial security,health,education etc, but our souls remain undernourished or starved, peace in the society can not be seen.

"For what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul"
*
Food for the soul is religion,spirituality etc.Religion teaches us to love all human beings and treat them as one, to be compassionate and considerate with every one.Once these qualities are ingrained in our souls,they will lead us to non violence. Wars and Crimes in the society will, therefore, have no place, and we hope to have Peace in this world.

Tranquility
'Tranquility is a state of mind, in which a person, while living in this materialistic world of transient happiness and suffering, is absorbed in devotional meditation within.
In order to achieve it,we have to develop perpetual consciousness of The Divine and full faith in His Grace, adhering to spiritual self-discipline, earning truthful and honest living, accepting in profound calmness... the Will of God.
The foremost perquisite to happy life is 'equipoise' -the inner peace.
The Bliss can be felt and experienced in the deepest of silence."
