How Inner Peace Enables Success and Fulfillment?
Inner peace is not just a nice to have feeling
Seeking inner peace is not an escape from life
As life becomes more complicated
As the world seems to unravel more
If you choose to connect with inner peace
When you root in inner peace
You gain the invaluable gifts of
Clarity and wisdom
Courage and strength
Creativity and compassion
You gain the critical abilities to
Make wiser decisions and
Take powerful actions
You orient yourself to
Succeed in your endeavors
You cultivate inner peace not to
‘Peace out’ from life
You cultivate inner peace to
‘Peace in‘ to life
Beyond the constant swirl of thoughts
Beyond the burdensome monkey mind
There is a vast field of silence
The home of inner peace
This is your own original nature
This is the real YOU
When you cultivate inner peace
You are unleashing your inner power
Inner peace is your inner power
That should be great motivation
To invest a few minutes a day
To connect with your inner power and
To live life from your inner power
To live as the real YOU
Don’t wait for success in life
To experience inner peace
Cultivate inner peace
By rooting in silence
So you can truly succeed in life
It is one thing to cultivate silence
It is another thing to root in it
How can you root in silence?
How to Root in Silence?
Stop giving attention
To thoughts, to feelings
To beliefs, to expectations
To judgments, to anger
To worries, to fears
To people, to things
Fickle and unreliable
Sources of perturbation
Bad neighborhoods of the mind
These are designed
To cause you to slip
To fall into suffering
Notice the first appearance
Of perturbation in your mind-body
Shortened breaths
Rise in internal heat
Faster heart rate
These are early signs of trouble
Pause. Step back
Walk away if you need to
Take deep breaths
Until breathing is steady
Turn attention to silence
Rest for a few minutes
Re-engage only after
Peacefulness is felt
This is the way to prevent
Slipping into old patterns
By choosing to take a stand
In your inner power
Re-engage with life
From who you really are
Be interested in life in
The realm beyond doing
Be keen to know about
The wisdom of being
The Wisdom of Being
In thinking, there can be lack
In being, there is wholeness
In thinking, there can be suffering
In being, there is unchanging peace
In thinking, there can be unhappiness
In being, there is causeless contentment
In thinking, there can be judgments
In being, there is unconditional love
In thinking, there can be bondage
In being, there is boundless freedom
In thinking, there is past and future
In being, there is the timeless now
In thinking, there is the limited you
In being, there is the real YOU
Thinking is movement of attention
Thinking is a kind of doing
Silence is rested attention
Real silence is being
Learn to rest attention in silence
And thinking will lose its power source
Incessant thinking and doing
Get replaced by being and flowing
