Laat me met rust!

it means "leave me in peace" in dutch

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

I would like the absence of aggression, violence, and hostility.. please

some steps for bringing peace to your mind:

Choose carefully where we spend time.
If you have a spare 15 minutes, don't just automatically switch on the TV or surf the internet. take the opportunity to be still or at least do something positive. the problem is the mind feels insecure unless it has something to occupy it. however, when we really attain a clear mind we discover it creates a genuine sense of happiness and inner peace.

Control of thoughts
it is our thoughts that determine our state of mind. If we constantly cherish negative and destructive thoughts, inner peace will always remain a far cry. At all costs, we need to avoid pursuing trains of negative thoughts.

" If you have inner peace, nobody can force you to be a slave to the outer reality" -Sri Chinmoy

Simplify your life
there are many things that we can do without, quite often we add unneccessary responsibilities to our schedule. Do the most significant tasks, on at a time, and enjoy doing them. to experience innner peace, it is essentail to avoid cluttering our life with unnecessary activities and worries.

Spend time to cultivate inner peace
Every day we spend at least 8 hours a day to earn money, can we not find time to spend 15 minutes to cultivate inner peace? no matter how much money we earn, it cannot bring us inner peace or happiness. but, if we spend 15 minutes on meditation and relaxation techinques inner peace can become a possibility. To experience this inner peace we cannot allow any thought to enter into our mind. true inner peace occurs when we can transcend the world of thoughts.

Be immune to flattery and criticism
If we depend on the opinions and praise of other people, we can never have inner peace. Criticism and flattery are two sides of the same coin. they are both the judgments of others. However, we should not allow ourselves to be affected to either. when we do, we feed the ego. we should learn to have confidence in ourselves. this does not mean we will love ourselves in an egotistical way, it means we value our real self and have a belief in the good qualities that are part of everyone.

Be active selflessly
Inner peace does not mean that we have to live a life of a hermit. inner peace, can be felt amidst dynamic activity. but, this action should be done with selfless motives. when we serve others we forget our sense of self, and it is when we forget our limited self that we have inner peace.

Avoid Criticising others
If we want inner peace, we should feel that our inner peace depends on the well being of others. if we are indifferent to the feelings of others, then it is important to have inner peace for ourselves. what we give out comes back. if you offer a peacful attitude to others this what we will see in return.

so please laat me met rust!
