Flavour 3 (Flavours of Life )

4th blog in this series, let's recall what we discussed in previous topics...

The Third Flavour Of Life Is "PEACE"

PEACE

Often when we talk about peace it is universally spoken of, like Peace among countries, No war Only Peace. So how peace can be a flavour of our life,  Basically we can divide peace into two types   
  • External peace
  • Internal peace 
External peace talks about the peace in the society and Internal peace is the peace that the individual has, as we discuss the flavours of life lets focus on internal peace.

If there is to be peace in the world,
 there must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
there must be peace in the cities.
 If there is to be peace in the cities,
there must be peace between neighbours.
 If there is to be peace between neighbours,
 there must be peace in the home. 
If there is to be peace in the home,
there must be peace in the heart.

- Lao Tzu

It clearly shows that internal peace influences external peace.
Peace is nothing but freedom from all that influences us. We can't get Peace from outside, Instead, we have to feel the peace within us. The worldly things which influence us will restrict us to feel peace in us. Meditation is one of the ways to feel the peace in us, while meditating we will not think about the struggles which influences us.



Why is it important to have peace in your life?

Inner peace brings solutions for the struggles in our life, Inner peace creates self-awareness. In today's world, we are very much engaged with various things and relationships which always makes us busy which leads us to divert or fail to focus on peace or fail to look at the purpose of life. A peaceful mind will not distract from its path. Peace of mind helps to focus on our goal which helps to succeed in our life. 

 Nowadays many people are struggling with stress, one of the reasons behind the stress is they fail to manage the situation properly, Lacking is time management, afraid of responsibility etc. The basic solution for all the issues is handling the situation with a peace of mind. 
"Peace of mind"
 The most valuable thing in the world, nothing is worth your peace of mind. -Chetan bhagat

Sharing of Peace 

Many religions have a practice of sharing peace. The reason behind sharing peace is to reconcile with one another, hence peace will not exist with devious minds. 

According to the Global Peace Index 2019, India has ranked 141 places out of 163 countries, there will be no peace in the nation if we don't have peace in our hearts. If we want our nation to be peaceful we have to start from ourselves. 

Let's understand the limitations of our life, Most of the times the unethical practices are the reason to disturb our inner peace. Let's figure out the unethical behaviours and let's filter it from our life. The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. 

PEACE BE WITH YOU

Falavour 8 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
We are almost at the end of this series, this is the second last blog of this series/Flavour 8  The Eighth Flavour of Life is "GENTLENESS" Gentleness is more similar to kindness, but there is some difference between kindness and gentleness.  To make it clearer, if someone gives you a babby to hold how you will hold kindly or gently? of course, gently know, it is quite difficult to differentiate it both but it different.  Gentleness is related to the behaviour of a particular situation, how we react.  A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Gentleness is acting in a manner that is gentle and mild even-tempered.   we often hear this word "gentleman". It is an honourable way of referring to a man. It means the man who behaves gently or mildly in any situation not forcefully or roughly.  The flavour 8 of flavours of life gentleness gives an understanding of handling situations. The ac...

Flavour 5 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
Now we are in the 6th blog if this series Flavour 5 The Fifth Flavour Of Life Is "KINDNESS" Dear friends, we are living in a world where different kinds of people around us, we are not living a monastic life to exclude us from this world. Our culture and circumstances allow us to live in harmony with others. This flavour 5 plays a major role in bringing harmony among us. What is kindness? Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Why is Kindness important?  We have some bonding with each and every one of us. We are sharing our thoughts, we are sharing our belongings. Kindness plays a role in the way we are communicating with others. Communication without kindness may not be proper communication. It will be just information. Hence if we want to communicate properly we have to communicate with kindness.  “ Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end .” ...

Flavour 4 (Flavours of Life )

By Daniel Justine
We almost reached the centre point of our blog series, this is the 5th blog and 4th flavour in this Flavours of life.  The Forth Flavour Of Life Is  "PATIENCE" The motto of these flavours of life series is to create awareness about essential life characters and makes us realize the importance of practising it. As I mentioned before all these life characters are interlinked. It is difficult to practice one single flavour to implement in our life. Today's flavour of 'Patience' is mostly connected with  yesterday's flavour . If we started understanding the peace in us then it is easy to practice this patience, it is also another flavour of life which we need to discuss separately.  “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Aristotle     DEFINITION: Patience is t he capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Patience is one of the best qualities which we need to develop in our life. ...
