The Secret to Finding Inner Peace

Nov 11, 2023
3 min read

The Secret to Finding Inner Peace In today's fast-paced and chaotic world, finding inner peace can seem like an elusive goal. We often find ourselves caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, constantly chasing after success, material possessions, and external validation. But true peace and contentment can only be found within ourselves. One of the most powerful ways to connect with our inner peace is through meditation. The image of a person sitting cross-legged on a mountain peak, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking a peaceful valley, perfectly captures the essence of this practice. By taking the time to sit in stillness and silence, we can tap into a deep sense of calmness and tranquility. Meditation allows us to quiet the noise of our minds and connect with our inner selves. It helps us let go of stress, worries, and anxieties, and allows us to be fully present in the moment. Through regular meditation practice, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace that stays with us throughout the day, even in the midst of chaos. But meditation is just one tool in our journey towards inner peace. Here are a few more thoughts and tips to help you find that sense of calmness and tranquility: 1. Embrace simplicity: In a world that constantly bombards us with distractions and excess, embracing simplicity can be a powerful way to find inner peace. Simplify your life by decluttering your physical space, simplifying your schedule, and focusing on what truly matters to you. 2. Practice gratitude: Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can shift our focus from what is lacking in our lives to what we already have. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, whether it's the beauty of nature, the love of your family, or the simple pleasures of life. 3. Let go of the need for control: Trying to control every aspect of our lives only leads to stress and frustration. Learn to let go of the need for control and trust in the natural flow of life. Accept that there are things beyond your control and focus on what you can change and influence. 4. Connect with nature: Spending time in nature can be incredibly grounding and soothing. Take a walk in the park, go hiking in the mountains, or simply sit in your backyard and observe the beauty of the natural world. Nature has a way of reminding us of our connection to something greater than ourselves. 5. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is essential for finding inner peace. Make time for activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul, whether it's practicing yoga, taking a long bath, reading a good book, or spending time with loved ones. Prioritize self-care and make it a non-negotiable part of your routine. Finding inner peace is a lifelong journey, and it requires consistent effort and practice. But by incorporating these tips into your daily life and embracing the power of meditation, you can cultivate a deep sense of calmness and tranquility that will positively impact every aspect of your life. Remember, true peace comes from within. It is not dependent on external circumstances or achievements. So take the time to connect with your inner self, embrace simplicity, practice gratitude, let go of control, connect with nature, and prioritize self-care. You deserve to experience the profound peace and contentment that comes from within.

Double meaning

The Bus Conductor said ”aage se KHALI- piche se khali” (the front is empty, and rear is empty) or (the front has been eaten, the back has been eaten) so I said aur kuch khane ko nahi raha (nothing else left to eat) - twist, (1/) due to the double meaning and 2/dress (massage) to be presentable.
​

Skin is folded over at the elbow (why) otherwise it would feel stretched.

Remembering the name of a girl - Serena - I thought of her face – then I reached the name. Unusual, but true.

 

 

Clever girl /girls family!

My ”girlfriend” - from a not too well off family, didn't give me any of her particulars like where she stayed, or number but she / they used to call on the phone asking that is your number "this"? They gave a different number every time (nearly my number); each time it was different by 1 digit, that digit being a part of her actual number ... then she expected me to (and i did) find the address from the telephone number (in 1991) by looking through all the numbers in the phone book - I found Lal, Jain, Surya Nagar - then I went to the place - they had put “welcome” on their door - I went in and sat down - they said they were expecting someone to come and meet me; this turned out to be the girl's father - he pushed me around a bit - they insulted the girl - they wanted to see if I would still take up for the girl –I did — eventually, as my leg was bad  (I think I said so) - then I left - I couldn't get onto my bike - I used the other leg and got on- they were visibly (to quite a large extent) impressed (were with admiration) ..

 

 

The impression you get when you look at a hyenas face - it looks as if it's only an outline because of the contrast / pattern in it.

​

Peking (peeking) duck, a duck inside a crate looking out through the slats (I.E. flat wood pieces).

​

My ridiculous father said that there is a curse on the family due to a dispute in gold (!) dinosaur (ancient) mentality …

​

 I was scratching myself through my trousers and somebody was laughing at me so I said - only guys with hair on their balls (with guts, masculine) would do that ! 

​

VIBGYOR- Rainbow on a waterfall ! Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange Red .

​

Tic Tac mint - this mint probably stays in your mouth the longest.

Tall person - still a child - doesn’t learn much, as everyone is too scared to interact with him (live examples with me : sisters first husband, old attendant, very tall guy on the road near my old gym – totally dumb brains).

My senior boss  used to blow up (exaggerate) whatever he wanted you to do and try to get the maximum out of you in the beginning only - and if he didn't succeed he would make the pressure less and so on – since it’s his standard procedure, he didn’t get annoyed when you don’t give him ~what he wants (he is happy with doing his tactics / tricks).

​

Tasmanian devil - totally vicious creature with red ears (inside) (as big as a small dog).

​

How to avoid a sneeze when its coming badly (or not)  –  twist the  tip of your nose left and right  ~5 times , more, if necessary, plus inhale exhale a  few times.

​

People were shouting in the bus for quite some time - when they eventually stopped I said ‘Wah Bhai Shanti’ (how great - silence!) - two people turned around and smiled.

​

Never have Orange squash without salt – add salt a bit at a time otherwise it will froth and overflow …

​

Playing badminton with a girl in college, with one hand in my pocket – the girl who I was playing with didn’t like that at all - she complained to her boyfriend that I was acting smart  / big (!)

Kids who sell flowers at traffic light said ‘Bahut Phool Beche’ (sold lots of flowers) no need to help them.

Filter coffee (Current status – success story

To make filter coffee, buy a thin plastic Jaali (fine net / strainer (big flat net, circular, half foot width (a smaller jaali can be used, but the coffee produced is not as good)) (probably available in INA market Delhi, or on Amazon) put the coffee powder in to the jaali  (“Arabica dark roast” from Devans (Delhi) is the best – Amazon also has this)  and pour hot water on top of it. Coffee liquid / decoction collects in the container below. You must get the powder amount and water amount correct by trial and error. Get condensed milk. Sugar. My coffee maker broke - I tried many more (three to four). The coffee was not good in any of them. Basically, the filter was wrong. You need a half foot diameter (cylindrical) strainer with a round jali of half foot too. Then gently pour the hot water on the coffee in the strainer, moving the vessel (preferably with a spout) containing hot water, in a circle. Now, as the large coffee maker (half foot width), I am using the “PANCA Filter Coffee Maker, 6-8 cups” from amazon. The coffee produced is not as good.

खंड में, सरल बनाने के लिए, लंबे शब्द वाला वाक्य में रंगीन शब्द का मिलन करें।जरूरी है 

 

संसार में जीने से, व्‍यवहार (ज्ञान खोना या प्राप्त करना, वातावरन के मुताबीक) - बिना सोचे, अपने आप बदलता है। जीवन की तरिके को जानना ।

​

कोई दो बाग पे, बाहर का दिखावट या प्रकार (शरीर पर रेखा) एक नहीं हैं! उसका दोनों  तरफ का नक्षा भी एक नहीं हैं (चित्र प्रसार या यू ट्यूब से)।(अंदर का दृष्टि - जीवन के छिपे हुए पहलू।)

​

मैंने सोचा था  कि पुरुष-शेर (चित्र प्रसार पे देखा हुआ) थोड़ा नकली या अप्राकृतिक (जैसे प्राकृतिक) नहीं हैं - क्योंकि आगे का बाल ज्यादा अधिक है, लेकिन गरज का आवाज के साथ सब सही होता है!  भगवन का असलीपना ।

​

अगर कोई आपको कुछ अच्छा चीज बोलता है, तो अपने आप सोचके, उसकी प्रयास का “सामना” न करें, यह दिखाने के लिए कि आप भी चतुर हैं। उसके गुण मानें। कोई भी नकली जवाब, दिखावट के लिए, मत दीजिए।

लोगों का शाखा

अतुल (कैंटीन अधिकारी) इतना पीछे (कमजोर मन का) है – वोह चश्मा भी पहनता है - (जीवन में दुसरे से कम दुश्मनी होता है) - लोगों में वोह क्रोध नहीं सिलघता हैं, उसका आसान रास्ता है - आम व्यक्ति के जैसे नहीं होता है - भगवान की दुनिया में उसके जीवन के लिए भी यह सुविधाएं है !

​

मूंगफली वाला - बकरी वाला आदि - एक ज्याडा भी निचले स्तर पर है - मैंने उससे कहा कि गर्म दाणे नरम हो जाते है। यह मेरे सामने जलते बर्तन के नीचे से मूंगफाली लिये जा रहा था, और उल्टा बोलता रहा, कि वह गरम नहीं दे रहा था!

​

बेरह-आम (एक पारसी नाम) (उसकी बाजू बालों-बिना हैं, अंग्रेजी में “बएर" हाथ) या भालू की तरह बाह (भालू-बाह) । दुगना अर्थ - (चुटकुले या हास्य)

READ THIS OCCASIONALLY (it may be useful in some website matter)​

​

In a sentence, match words of the same colour e.g. red or words within {}.

Mr X – who everybody (in the nation) makes fun off.

TRUTH – Exactly as you see it !

Take Honesty Seriously ! 

Take Life Seriously – Proud to be Alive! 

Quality (nearby Truth), try to be as pure as possible. 

 

Sarcastic, i.e. falsely giving the impression (pretend) that the situation is more than it actually is (blowing it up) ( but in the opposite direction ) to make a  joke out of it (meaning how can it  mean that)(e.g.NO! Really?! )

 

  • ‘Latter’ means see the second of the two preceding (before this) phrases. 

    • ‘Former’ means the first.

 BTW – By The Way.

 

 Truth ?! Comes down to being  REALISTIC (face facts).

“No Honesty”? It's Stupid. You're fooling yourself all the time. 

He said Truth comes from “not fooling yourself”. It’s the other way as above, but it’s more direct.

 

 A “~” before a phrase means that the actual meaning of it is “something like” the phrase.

 

The word before, and the word after, a long bracket, is underlined, and also is in italics. So, when reading the text the first time, ignore the text in the brackets.

 

“One up” Immediately trying to take control and win by any means. तुरंत कोई भी तारिका से बदला लेना.

 

Words in Italics, or the characters “…” are used to show the beginning and ending of brackets which are very long.

 

 

“Hijdas are a definite development stage in life. They have a huge mental controversy as their test !

 

By channels, I  mean, you have an easier way through life by compromising one aspect of your behaviour to learn others, easier.

 

My sister herself says “women drivers”!

 

Hijdas may choose one of both options - it depends on their  individual level of shame …

 

Match Bold parts - even if they are coloured.

 

  “All words referring to God: like Being, or Creator should start with a capital letter”.

 

  An underlined phrase is to be emphasised.
