Serenity

 

Contentment is not a reaction and it is something much more creative and profound. Contentment comes when one understand what one actually is and do not pursue what one is not.  

Most people think, when one has achieved that entire one wants; one will have contentment by achieving that end.

Contentment is not satisfaction, but very vital and a state of creativeness in which there is the understanding of what actually is.

Our social life and everything we do is based on acquisitiveness and who is doing what for centuries, we have been brought up like that.

For all the more, the egocentric self enclosing habit to be somebody.

That is why it is very important to understand the self, which is to perceive the workings of once own mind with it’s the motives, the intentions, the longings and the desire.

When all these have come to an end through the understanding of what is, only then one will know the religion of serenity and what God is.

 Ultimately the human spirit wants something absolute and eternal state that is everlasting for the mental satisfaction in knowing permanency in everything.  

The ever happy after from property, relationships and virtue that cannot be lost, like God and the absolute truth.

 Truth is something like an extraordinary mystery that is discovered only from moment to moment.

Truth needs to be discovered and understood in every action, in every thought, in every feeling and observed at each moment of every day. A persons thinking is conditioned and limited to the truth, and the discovering of that, sets the mind free from limitation.

Truth is not something which you can gather, accumulate, store up and then rely on as a guide.

Truth is timeless in the mind that knows what is beyond names, status and the impermanent. 

If one is really aware outwardly, the inward awareness also begins to awaken, and one becomes more and more conscious of the reaction to what people do.

The relationship with other people is the outcome of an inward state of wanting, of hope, of anxiety and fear.

True spirituality depends upon the tuning of the soul.

Contentment is the fullness of an inexpressible power which speaks louder than any words.
