How can peace of mind
be fetched?:-
This is a question that agitates most of us. Mere possession of wealth is not the answer. Rich men are in search of the same. In many cases more the money, greater is the problems. On the other hand in the God’s scheme of admiration a poor man who takes his shelter under a tree and who is blissfully unaware as to where his next meal will come from is happy. The only, way to enjoy this elusive commodity-peace, is to remain contented with what God has provided a person.

One should never feel
jealous about his neighbor’s possessions and desire to acquire similar comforts
at the cost of personal inconvenience. Taking loans should be avoided because,
if they remain unpaid, the debtor will have to take rebirth to discharge them.
When a man’s aim in life should be to secure liberation, to be born again will
mean greater hardship.
Even in respect of his
food requirements a person has to observe restrictions and take only what is
absolutely needed and only when he is hungry, when the principle of simple
living and high thinking is adopted, there will be no room for frustration.
Similar
doubts relating to man’s day to day disciplines as well as his general conduct
have been cleaned in the Mahabharata (महाभारत) through the Yaksha (यक्ष) episode. While the Pandavas (पांडव) were going through a period of severe
discipline and searching probation, four among them disregarding the warning
uttered by an incorporeal voice, entered a pool to quench their thirst, but
fell down one by one unconscious. To bring them back to life, the eldest among
them and the symbol of virtue Yudhistra,
(युधिष्टर) agreed to give replies to certain
quarries. One among them related to the quest of mental peace. Courage is
man’s salvation, while facing danger. Mind is faster than wind and a heart in
agony is more blighted than a withered straw. What accompanies a soul in its
final journey-is the person’s acts of piety (Dharma) Desirelessness is real
wealth.
