The purpose of this book is to restate and glorify a lot of ancient and basic truths about peace of mind and make you do something about applying them. I have written this book mainly in “Elated Prose Style” to help you enjoy it like poetry as well as prose. You didn’t pick up this book to know how it was written. You are looking for action. So, please read a few pages carefully and if by that time you don’t feel that you are acquiring a new power and a new inspiration to change your lifestyle then toss this book away. It is not good for you.
Peace of mind is the biggest problem facing mankind. Most of the religious books are based on this presumption. Hurry and worry, stress and strain are the modern enemies of peace. These must have to be subdued to protect oneself from diseases like Heart Attack, High BP, Diabetes, Ulcer, and Cancer etc. People are dying like flies due to these diseases.
Read each page rapidly at first to get a bird’s-eye view of it. But if you are determined to attain peace of mind, then go back and re-read each page thoroughly. Stop frequently in your reading to think over what you are reading. Try to understand each idea. That kind of reading will aid you far more than racing ahead like a hound chasing a fox. After reading, review every page in your mind after closing your eyes.
Whatever you have read in this book, try to find out, how it can be applied in real life, otherwise you will forget it quickly. Only knowledge that is used sticks in our mind.
I am indebted to all those authors whose books inspired me and enabled me to write this book. My special gratitudes are to Dale Carnegie and Sweat Morden whose books encouraged me and prepared my mind to move towards peace of mind. I am also very thankful to His Holiness Late Swami Shivananda Ji and many other authors whose writings moved me towards peace of mind. I am not a learned man. My knowledge of English language is limited. This book is the end product of my deep studies.
I wish all of you peace of mind.
Hari Datt Sharma
OrganiserPeace of Mind Mission.
What is peace of mind? Is it possible to attain peace of mind? These questions often baffle many people, who have no clear conception of peace of mind. Peace of mind does not mean soothing the mind. It does not mean escape into a dream world. It means more effective participation in a real world. It does not mean innocuous lulling but dynamic stimulation of creative activity. Peace of mind greatly increases our intellectual power. It enables us to think rationally and in a better way. An excited mind can not produce rational concept or orderly thoughts. The mind is efficient only when it is cool and not hot. When our mind is heated, emotions control our judgement which proves costly in the long run. Power of the mind comes from the quietness. Nothing is as precious as peace of mind. Peace of mind is the peaceful base upon which we erect a good deal of life dynamic. Money can buy many things but not peace of mind. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. To have peace of mind one has to discipline oneself never to get mad or resentful. It is very important to learn emotional management.
Most of the religious books emphasize to keep under control vices like lust, anger, greed, hatred, envy, jealousy and ill will etc., which are the main enemies of peace of mind. In the Gita Lord Krishna says—
Lust, anger and greed are the triple gates of the hell, These take the person towards the hell.
Hurry, worry, stress and strain are the modern enemies. These enemies destroy peace of mind and produce diseases in the body. Heart troubles, ulcer, nervous breakdown like maladies are caused by these enemies of peace.
Many psychosomatic diseases like insomnia, constant fatigue, impotency, headache, indigestion etc., are caused due to unpeace of mind.
There is a right and a wrong way to do everything. There is also a right and a wrong way to live life. Living is also a science based on definite laws of nature. Those who do not cooperate with laws of nature, life goes badly. When you learn those laws and live within them, your life will be wonderful.
A person who has self control, has strength to see situations clearly. Judge them for what they are. It depends upon the attitude of your mind. Negative attitude disturbs and positive attitude provides peace to the mind.
Little things in life drive people to the edge of insanity and cause many troubles and headache. Trivialities are at the bottom of most of the marital unhappiness. Domestic wrangling, an insulting remark, a disparaging word, a rude action, false display of wealth, false display of boldness are the little things that lead to assault and murders. The small man flies into rage over the slightest criticism, but the wise man is always eager to learn from those who have censured him and reproved him.
Sharing of happiness brings happiness when the sharing is voluntary, with no other object than to give. When we try to please others, we stop thinking of ourselves. This is the very thing that protects us from worry, fear and melancholia. Serving the people without any motive makes them beam with pleasure. According to the Gita—
“With ill will and egoism, you can’t be a true devotee, Compassion is the main sign of a true devotee. People of doubting nature can’t get happiness, Only faith and wisdom can provide happiness.”
Those who do not know how to relax are slow poisoning their body. You must know how to relax your body to avoid fatigue of body and mind.
But peace of mind which you hunt outside is within you. All the worries and miseries are the creations of your mind. By changing your attitude you can easily change them.
Wealth, beauty, name, fame, prosperity and power all fail to satisfy man’s inner craving. As a last resort he turns his attention within and finds there the fountain of happiness. Everybody likes peace.
You would like to read this book again and again,As it can alleviate many inner pains.Worry, stress and strain are eating up our lives,Heart-attack, ulcer and cancer are destroying many lives.
Many people are suffering from psychosomatic diseases,Many are suffering from strange mental diseases.Many diseases are caused due to un-peace of mind,Enemies of peace always disturb the mind.
If you want to keep away all these maladies,Peace is the only answer to get rid of these maladies.Money can buy many things but not peace of mind,By buying this book you can attain peace of mind.
This whole book is written in simple verses,As mind enjoys a strange bliss while reading verses.This book may change your outlook towards life,Will encourage you to move towards a peaceful life.
Many striking thoughts are given in these pages,Which were said by the holy sages.Some may find it a thought provoking book,As food for thought is served in this book.
It can protect you from drugs and AIDS,As to keep mental balance you won’t need dope aid.
You would like to know why I write on peace of mind?How Peace of Mind Mission can help to attain peace of mind?My answer is very simple and straight,Some time tested recipes I want to state.
Life is very miserable and troublesome these days,We have to face tension & financial troubles these days.It has become difficult to keep pace with life,All are feeling helpless may be a husband or a wife.
Hurry & worry, Stress and strain are giving us troubles,And are causing cardiac, gastric and respiratory troubles.Anxiety is producing signs of many diseases,Heart attack,diabetes and stomach pain like diseases.
People are feeling helpless and dying like flies,These are destroying many valuable lives.Main cause of all these maladies is un-peace of mind.Enemies of peace are disturbing the mind.
Most of the diseases are only psychosomatic,Peace of mind is the tool of remedy and pragmatic.If you want to get rid of all these maladies,Peace of mind is the answer to fight these maladies.
Money can buy many things but not peace of mind,That is why I dare to write on peace of mind.I am a humble volunteer of Peace of Mind Mission,To help you to attain peace is my sole mission.
This book may guide you to attain peace of mind,But it is only you who yourself can find.None can physically help you to attain peace of mind,As it solely depends upon your own inner mind.
Stress, strain and worry are the main problems these days,Heart attack is the biggest killer in these days.Peace of mind does not mean soothing state of mind,But to provide a great source of energy to the mind.
It is not an escape into a dream world,But effective participation in a real world.It is not like innocuous lulling of a person,But to make a dynamic and stimulating person.
It greatly increases intellectual power of mind,A cool mind is more efficient than a hot mind.In a hot mind emotions control the judgement,In a cool mind moral laws control the judgement.
It can also remove sense of guilt from the mind,Only then peace can enter and stay in the mind.I am not telling anything new, you already did not know,Many golden rules to get peace of mind, you also know.
Let me point out towards your ignorance and inaction,And to restate a few basic truths to take some action.All my recipes are time tested to attain peace of mind,If you pick even a few, you will notice change in your mind.
My aim is to lead you towards peace of mind,Because money can buy many things but not peace of mind.Happiness is very rare in human life,Money or power can’t buy happiness in life.
Many philosophies of holy men prepare us to face death happily,I want to prepare your mind to lead life happily.
Lust is very common in mankind,People have lust of many kinds.Some have lust for welath, some for gold,Some have lust for power, some for money to hold.
In a limit lust is a must for mankind,After limit it often disturbs the mind.Lust for sex keeps irritating the mind,Makes it difficult to have peace of mind.
Lust for sex had already rolled many in the dust,It would still roll many more in the dust.Lust is a big hindrance to attain peace of mind,Many take dope and wine to have peace of mind.
Lust hinders to transmute sex as a constructive force,And dissipates creative forces of mind as a destructive force.Lust is also known a gate to hell,You must understand it very very well.
O dear fellow, you have lost peace of mind,Lost peace of mind, you have lost peace of mind.
You have a house and a beautiful wife,You have many luxuries of life.You have a telephone, TV. and a car,In your circle known as a star.Then why have you lost your peace of mind?
Your children are studying in good schools,You are a member of clubs and pools.Have good sources of entertainment,Now nothing is difficult for your attainment.Then why have you lost your peace of mind?
Comforts are at your beck and call,Servants are at your beck and call.You can enjoy many kinds of foods,Can drink whisky to come in mood.Then why have you lost your peace of mind?
Many good doctors are on your roll,Many good nurses are on your roll.You can buy comforts of many kinds,For pursuit of pleasure you never mind.Then why have you lost your peace of mind?
I am not a gambler, I know gambling is bad,Ultimately it makes every gambler sad,Even then I want to have a bet with you,Because I am sure, I will win and not you.
You have just to name only one person in the whole world,Kindly listen carefully to all my words.Can you name any person living with hate, jealousy and anger,But his BP is normal and high no longer?
Can you name any rich man living with avarice and greed,And claims, he has peace of mind indeed?Can you name any person living a dishonest life,But has no symptoms of heart attack,diabetes or ulcer like?
Can you name any person living a long and healthy life,But not leading a simple and honest life?I am sure you can’t name any and will lose this bet,Because there is a simple secret that none should forget.
Peace of mind is a rare gift for mankind,To save them from maladies of many kinds.Un-peace of mind causes many psychosomatic diseases,Heart attack, diabetes, ulcer and many other diseases.
These may be easily cured with peace of mind,Medicines provide only a temporary relief to body and mind.Try to adopt good virtues in your life,You will feel definite changes in your life.
You will start enjoying, what our holymen so far enjoyed,Only peace of mind can provide you the secret of real joy.
If you want peaceful life, then always keep in mind,You have to defeat inner enemies of many kinds.Fear is the most strange enemy in our mind,Which denies power of reasonable thinking of all kinds.
Greed is a unique enemy of the man,It encourages selfishness in every man.Evil partner of selfishness is the intolerance,Which closes the mind to conceal facts of importance.
Egotism is also the enemy of the man,It increases self love but decreases respect for other man.Lust is always ready to roll every person in the dust,By dissipating creative forces of mind into lust.
Anger is an insanity, always prevents right thinking,When anybody is with rage, brain stops right thinking.Hatred often poisons our mind and twists our thinking,When we hate someone, impossible right thinking.
