Did you ever think of ‘from where’, ‘on which’ and ‘from who’ are we seeking peace of stability and tranquillity?
We seek stability, for our ever-susceptible mind standing on our fleeting physical body, from the ever-changing universe. Are these layers- mental, physical and universal- having the essence of stability? The answer has to be ‘yes’ for every being has an innate urge for harmony.
But, what we perceive is nothing but entropy in all dimensions of our existence. We are fatally engulfed in a vicious circle of turbulence. And still we are seeking calmness out of boisterous crowd. Stability is an unstable ‘concept’, we affirm.
For ‘peace’ is stability, it as a concept is ‘unstable’. Even a thought for peace is ‘wavering’. But we know from the bottom of the heart that ‘peace’ is the safest of all shelters where we could stay forever, away from the ever-changing stupidity of ‘civilisation’.
But, for that, we need to surpass the hindering dimensions of ‘instability’, first from the mind (personal level), secondly from the body (physical level) and from the universe (social level). Always, mind is craving for support. A support to withstand the immature thought that ‘I’m the most unstable’. Our conscience needs to appease mind by making it realize that the basic pre-requisite to attain ‘peace’ is to believe that it is achievable.
Body is an instrument of mind’s vagaries. If we could assuage mind the body will follow. Once mind and body are prone enough to believe in ‘stability’, we will be able to perceive the inner peace dormant in all sorts of turbulences. It is like a centre bold of a revolving wheel.
If you believe that you are a wheel, rest your mind on the revolving centre even while your body is susceptible to the stones and thorns of the many-guttered road, say the masters.
