Inner turmoil results from resistance. In this world, there are countless incessantly swaying the mind. Our external conditions in life are ultimately not in our hands. Any decision by others can change our external circumstance including our careers in an instant. And it is of no point worrying about issues beyond our control.
The only area where we have control is in how we react to the story of our life. Our mental reactions to our external condition is finally what determines the degree of our suffering. The only place where we have control is hence in our reaction to our situation. This is where maximum change can be affected, for the better or worse. Inner peace consists in our reaction to our situation. A mental state of acceptance and non-resistance helps in developing mental stability. Realize that life is forever out of control and only in our acceptance of this fact and in stop trying to resist the situation can inner peace be realized.
We live in the world, but we are not of it. Nothing of this world, no pain, no external circumstance can affect the calm inner space that lies within us. Like the eye of a storm, there is a profound stillness underneath all the noise of the mind. This sacred and pure space cannot be touched by the mind. No desire or thought can affect it. It is this inner space that is most valuable and which cannot be lost. Make this your home in this world of constant mental noise.
Peace be unto you. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
