THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PEACE

Peace!!! A thing everyone's been searching for. If you ask anyone what they want, then the answer will be peace. Peace in one's life and peace in the country. Apparently, that's what everyone wants. But when will that desire for peace really be fulfilled? People thought that change in political systems may bring peace and tried different types of systems. People thought development in the nation might bring peace and worked accordingly. People thought earning more money may bring peace and started accumulating wealth. But have we found peace in any of those? Peace has been the search of human since ages but all in vain. But why? Why aren't we able to find that peace we have searching since eternity? Maybe we are searching in the wrong place.

Most of the time we see the things that are far and away from us just like we can see the Sun which is millions of miles away from us and the stars that are much further than this, but we can't see our own face that's so close to us. Yes, it's the closeness of the peace within us because of which we aren't able to find it. If something is lost inside our house then, to find it, we have to search within the house. Searching outside will not yield anything.

Since ages most of the people have always gone outside in search of peace. Even you are searching peace outside of you. Searching of peace outside of you is just like searching your heart outside of your body. Just like your heart is embedded in your body peace is also embedded within your body. You just have to feel it.

You may think the world is in such a chaos and because of it there is no peace. Let me tell you the world has never and will never be in a chaos. It's your mind that's in chaos. It's the dirty vessel which makes the pure water poured in it also dirty. So all you need to do in order to find peace is clear your mind and make it clean. Have you ever realized that the way we feel about a particular event or incident is actually the reaction of our mind to it. Just like if you see a dead body of an animal in the street giving awful smell you may find it disgusting but for a vulture it's a mouth-watering dish. So how can you say that the rotten dead body is disgusting in itself? Similarly nothing in this world can be tagged as chaotic. It's just your mind's reaction that creates the chaos.

If you want to learn peace from nature just look at a flowing river. It has been flowing like that since ages. No war has ever caused it to be disturbed. It's so playful, so energetic all the time. It's having fun every moment. If you think the world is in chaos then just go and look at a pond. Nothing in this world can ever cause it to be disturbed from its tranquility. If you think the world is in chaos then go and look at the trees in a forest. The way they dance with the wind, the way the leaves sing with the winds, the way they whisper with each other. They have never stopped their dance. Even if there remains a single tree in the forest it will still dance like it used to.

But why are we humans disturbed by almost anything that happens around us. Why can't we preserve our calmness and peace even for a moment? You see that the books are not arranged nicely in the shelf and you lose your peace. You see that the bed sheet is looking messy and you lose your peace. You see that the computer's taking a little longer to start and you lose your peace. It's time we do something to preserve our peace. The vulnerability of our peace can make our life not as enjoyable as it is meant to be.

Let's try to be more stable. One of the best ways to do that is to accept the fact that change is another name for time. With the passage of time everything changes, from the way you look, to the way the people look at you. You have to know the universal rules and accept them. Nothing is constant. Nothing is perfect. Things don't always happen in the way we want. Let's be undisturbed by the usual changes to live a peaceful life.
