|| True happiness is based on peace || 

Yesterday is our experience, today is our day and tomorrow is our future that we have dreamt of. We plant seeds for them to grow depending on the environment, fertilization, sunlight they grow. Some plants survive, some strive to survive and some get faded. Those plants grow into huge trees that give peace and comfort to so many people under their shadow. They give and feel happy in helping those people who require shelter. The same way human beings who have peace within them create happiness for themselves own self as well as for the people who are in need. In the fast-growing world somehow this peace has disappeared. We need to search for the people who can create peace and with that help to create happiness. We have one life and that one life goes on searching for peace and happiness. This natural calamity of the pandemic has taught us to work on the most important need of life that is peace which will help us to find true happiness.

If you read religious books or understand how the universe got created. The universe was created into separate entities that is water, air and fire. Once the water got created human beings and nature got created. Nature releases air with oxygen and which helps human beings to breathe. They release carbon dioxide which helps nature plants to grow. Once that was done we human beings got senses to feel, to hear, to see, to eat, to work and to smell. After they were created food, feelings, perception, many dreams and desires of life came into action. That’s all the Navrasa of life, anger, love, selfishness, understanding, morality, dignity got created. Now all human beings started implementing the way the environment around them taught them. Bhagwad Geeta is one such book that says the life of Lord Krishna says, a lot of difficulties may arise with the environment around but ethics of life never got sacrificed, principles needed to be followed and love needed to spread. Today how many people follow that or understand that... narration of the life of Krishna says happiness only can be achieved if you have peace and peace only can be achieved if you have seeds of ethics, principles, and understanding of love, values and thought to do sacrifice in life.

I just heard one small boy describing the meaning of clarity in our life. There is a jar filled with water which is very clear and transparent. Your mind body and soul which is clear like water and then thoughts keep adding into it like that you can’t do it, you are not capable of doing it, you are not up to the mark, you don’t sound good or look good, those people who are calm they ignore it and move forward but those who are not confident they get in more dirt in mind. Some still fight and go ahead and fight. But the time comes when they give up and the successful people give the force of positivity of water into their mind, body, and soul to clear all the dirt settled on thoughts and move further. They are the people who are only capable of achieving peace and happiness of being and having existence on this earth. They are the people who are rare and capable of helping others with their devotion, compassion, and love like Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa taught us loud and clear that we should never measure our lives with possessions or money or fame rather we should measure our lives with the amount of hearts we touched, amount of smile we created or the love you shared, that is the real possessions which bring peace and happiness in life. Recently I met one child who had multiple handicaps, the child can’t walk, can’t handle his neck and is 13 years old. So parents carry him everywhere. I was giving hearing aids to the child and was programming the hearing aids. While talking I just mentioned that we are giving this hearing aids from josh foundation and it cost rs 50000+ so please take care and make him wear the whole day. The mother said my child is very lucky he is getting every possible help from the time he is born. She touched my legs immediately and said I don’t how to thank you. I said everyone comes with their destiny and as u said he is lucky so he is getting all the help.

I would like to mention that here not only luck of that child but also the attitude of parents towards the person who is helping and dedicated towards their child. They were from a low social-economic group but were so calm and seemed peaceful so that’s how they are managing so well. But if the similar child would have come from a family where money and attitude have more value then the child would have not received such luck to have cared. She also mentioned that both parents go to work and there is no one at home to take care of him, only the younger kid is there he manages to give him food and take care and talks to him. See the apathy of the parents but still, both of them were having so much faith in God and they were so kind to the child and with their struggles were doing best for their child. As Mother Teresa says giving smiles on those parent’s faces gave me more positivity in my life and encouragement to work with more dedication in that direction. I saw that peace of mind and happiness on their face... like as good as myself with peace.

On the other side, I met parents who were well to do and had a child who was having all sense organs normal. For the last two years child at home, not moving much out but protective at home one because corona and mother were working and then she stopped working and was at home only with the child. The protection was so much that she was not allowed to in-laws. To feed the child and do everything for the child so though the child was normal her sense organs never got developed, she was not aware that the child has so many difficulties one need to work on. She only realized when online classes started and though she was three and half years she couldn’t speak more than 50 words. Once we explained her, she accepted and agreed to do all the possible things for the child and let her overcome all the challenges.

Here you see two different situations and different approaches and different reactions but the best part is both were positive reactions. One because we as a professional have a positive attitude and other as parents they also have a positive attitude and are willing to do every possible thing for the child. The same attitude to be positive we need to add in our children so they are ready to face any situations in life. The seed of peace and happiness we need to plant in such a way that they only grow like big trees and give shelter to people who are in need.

Life is unpredictable and it may come with difficulties but what helps a person going is a positive approach, willingness, peace of mind and love in their hearts. And there is nothing that cannot be conquered.
