10 Commandments for Peace of Mind

Posted by: "atul pant" pantatul@yahoo.com   pantatul

Sun Mar 16, 2008 1:32 pm (PDT)



Ten Commandments for Peace of Mind
From Shri Gyan Rajhans

How to attain mental peace

Peace of mind is the most sought after 'commodity' in human life. It appears that most of us are in a state of perpetual restlessness. On analyzing the causes of this restlessness, I have ventured to find for myself ten solutions that need to be followed religiously if we are serious about achieving perfect peace of mind.

1. Do not interfere in others' business

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic, and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction.

This kind of attitude on our part denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God, for God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because they are prompted to do so by the Divine within them. There is God to look after everything. Why are you bothered? Mind your own business and you will have your peace.

2. Forget and forgive

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often nurture ill feeling inside our heart for the person who insults or harms us. We forget that the insult or injury was done to us once but by nourishing the grievance we go on excavating the wound forever. Therefore it is essential that we cultivate the art of forgiving and forgetting. Believe in the justice of God and the doctrine of Karma. Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forget, forgive, and march on.

3. Do not crave for recognition

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motive. They may praise you today because you are rich and have power but no sooner you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and start criticizing you.

Moreover, no one is perfect. Then why do you value the words of praise of another mortal like you? Why do you crave for recognition? Believe in yourself. People's praises do not last long. Do your duties ethically and sincerely and leave the rest to God.

4. Do not be jealous

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know you work harder than your colleagues in the office but they get promotions, you do not. You started a business several years ago but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old. Should you be jealous? No, remember everybody's life is shaped by his previous Karma that has now become his destiny. If you are destined to be rich, not all the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere, but will only give you restlessness.

5. Change yourself according to the environment

If you try to change the environment single handedly, the chances are you may fail. Instead, change yourself to suit the environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has remained unfriendly for you, will mysteriously appear to be congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure what cannot be cured

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations and accidents that are beyond our control. We must learn to endure them cheerfully thinking, "God will it so, so be it". God's logic is beyond our comprehension. Believe it and you will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power.

7. Do not bite more than you can chew

This maxim should be always remembered. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable to carry out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Spend your free time on prayers, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind, which make you restless. Fewer the thoughts, greater is the peace of mind.

8. Meditate regularly

Meditation makes the mind thoughtless. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour every day, you will tend to become calm during the remaining twenty-three and a half hours. Your mind will not be disturbed as much as before. This will increase your efficiency and you will turn out more work in less time.

9. Never leave the mind vacant

An empty mind is devil's workshop. All evil deeds start in the mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. You must decide what you value more - money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement. Even if you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name (japa).

10. Do not procrastinate and never regret

Do not waste time in wondering "should I or shouldn't I?" Days, weeks, months and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Always remember God has His own plan too. Value your time and do things. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET! Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Take it as the will of God. You do not have the power to alter the course of God's will. Why cry?

My weekend trip to Lansdowne

Posted by: "Anubhav" anubhav.upadhyay@gmail.com   kumar_anubhav

Sun Mar 16, 2008 1:40 pm (PDT)

Dear Friends,

Last weekend I visited a beautiful place Lansdowne in Uttarakhand. This
place is a sleeping town which has the distinction of being the Headquarter
of Garhwal Rifles. We started at 5:00 am on Saturday 8th March from Delhi.
There was fog early morning so we were driving slowly. Route to Lansdowne is
Delhi - Merrut - Mawana - Meerapur - Bijnor - Najeebabad - Kotdwar - Dugadda
- Lansdowne. The whether was cool so we enjoyed the surroundings and reached
Kiratpur a small town before Bijnor at 8:30 am. We enjoyed Pyaj ke Paranthe
as breakfast at a small dhaba near Bharat Petrol pump. By 10:30 am we
reached Kotdwar. Kotdwar is a town in tarai from where the journey to hills
start it is the last railway station for reaching this part of Uttarakhand.
From Kotdwar we moved to Dugadda it is a small hill market. There is a Durga
Maa temple here below which the river flows. We stayed for an hour there and
went down to the Temple and than river. Lansdowne is around 26 km from
Dugadda. We reached Lansdowne around 12:30 pm and went straight to Garhwal
Mandal Vikas Nigam (GMVNL) guest house. Deluxe rooms were not available so
we took Economy rooms which were Rs. 650 a room. We relaxed for 2-3 hours
and than went to Bhulla lake around 4:00 pm. Bhulla lake is a man made small
lake made and maintained by Garhwal Rifles. It is a beautiful place with
boating facility and ducks all around the lake. We did boating for 15
minutes and than came up for snacks. After spending around 1 and a half
hours there we drove to Tip & Top a sight seeing point which is around 2 km
from there. From there we can see the whole valley down. The whether was
becoming cold and my daughter started feeling it so we rushed to our hotel.
Took dinner and slept. Next day we started around 11:00 am back to Delhi.
There are many places near by mostly Temples but as our schedule was tight
so we did not went to Tarkeshwar Mahadev and Jwalpa Devi. Coming down before
Dugadda we saw cars near the river we also asked the route from the locals
and went down and enjoyed bathing in the river.

Note: Lansdowne is a cold place so do carry winter clothing for night. There
are few hotels available there so do advance booking during peak season
which is Feb - March. It is a very peaceful hill station and majority of it
is Cantonment area so rules and regulation needs to be followed. Being a
Cantonment area no mobile carrier works here apart from BSNL.
