You cannot force to get peace

Peace is such a mental enigma that you cannot force anyone to give you the same. You have to  enjoy to feel and to feel to enjoy peace with utmost satisfaction. The major criteria to avail peace in life is calmness. You have to put all your efforts to keep your mind in your control. A balanced and harmonious mind is always a precursor to observe everything peacefully.  A discordant mind is the abode of depression, which is a common problem of modern times. Whether you are classified as an affluent person or a poor fellow, the sufferings pertaining to depression are unavoidable.  As per WHO, within another decade, the depression could be the most problematic situation, which will invite the majority of the populace to suffer from very many diseases.

Despite various apparent solutions to negate this nagging problem, the syndrome of depression is almost beyond cure and this was prevailing in our society, since long. Earlier, the percentage of the victims were minuscule, but now it is increased substantially. In the present day, the sedentary lifestyle, tremendous work pressure and  high ambition to acquire wealth within no time have vehemently made us fallen into the trap of mental depression and anxieties. We fall sick often and lose our peace at the cost of our vital asset, namely health. We start taking medicine to cure ourselves not to waste much of a time because in that case, we may be deprived from the targeted goals. But all these things are being followed by us at the cost of our mental peace. Now, the medication is only to provide a temporary relief, but there is no permanent solution. Along with the medication, meditation is often prescribed to tackle this problem.  But the meditation is mostly centered in the heart, which is an essential organ, helping to pump blood efficiently. If you research bodily system, you will find that depression starts from the mind.  It is the mind that controls the heart.  In some of the cases, depression is a non-physical and the heart are  physical.  So, it is obvious that a physical organ cannot resolve a non-physical defective signal.. 

The specialists often provide a physical technique to offset the problem of depression.  But their techniques can possibly cure the body, but not able to reach the mind.  Then, how the issues related to mind will be addressed? Mostly depression surfaces when people do not accept the reality. If you become blind to the ground reality of any situation, the chaos will be increased and make you more tensed. The acceptance of reality will solve most of your problems. We are at our freedom to express our thoughts, feelings, anger and emotions. So, we can act in different ways. We can also do many things, of course, within our capabilities and in this process, we also face competition, challenges and internal conflicts in our daily lives.  No one can deny this. To overcome this life stress, one must learn to de-stress.  Become friendly with the stress, following the practice of de-stressing is a must. Instead of getting away from it, one must face the consequences for the betterment. For example, a person may incur huge losses in a business or a person may lose a lucrative job and become sad naturally. But if he becomes morose and sit idle, there will no improvement in the situation. He must take appropriate steps to come out from the ructions and keep his  peace. Again, you may be inflicted with other types of heart rendering bad news, which might invade your living style.  For example, you lose a vital election, get a rejection in your love affairs or simply you are hurt by vindictive & sarcastic criticisms bestowed upon you by your parents, peers, teachers or friends.  In all these scenarios, you start to generate negative thinking, you lose your hope to live and become less ambitious, but you never think to find out the reality behind all these happenings.  Mostly, we attribute our miseries to other persons or to our bad luck. We feel that other persons create our sufferings.  We fail to realize that these sufferings are a process of law of the nature.  If you attribute this problem to the divine law of nature, it will not create any negativity, but if you attribute the same to a person, it will immediately bring in the negative feeling. The reason is that the law of nature is not at all involved with you in any type of competition, whereas the other person is invariably your rival. By pointing out the problem to another person, you become depressed, anger flows in you and you become tensed.  But when you see the problem as a law of nature, you become sedate and less emotional.

When you follow the pattern of nature based thinking instead of man based thinking, you show more wisdom.  You consider that whatever has happened will do better in future.  So, you need to activate your mind and increase the power of creativity.  That means, you must inculcate a habit to induce a realistic approach. Instead of retaliation, you must ascertain your mistakes and the causes of those mistakes, which will help you to remodel your approach. When you will be able to think in that direction, your mind will automatically switch over from the non-reality approach to a realistic method to find out the solution to any problem. You will be very much indebted to the law of nature for pouring its blessings to you in disguise.  What has happened to you is not for your detriment, not for your sufferings, not to make you depressed, but for you to get a lesson for the betterment in the future.  When you will be able to think in the same mode, your mind will not be stressed at all and you will find peace everywhere irrespective of whether the surroundings are acrimonious or blissful.
