Inner peace is considered to be a state of serenity and peace. Happiness of spirit and mental peace help to overcome all difficulties and adversity without despair. This does not mean that all experiences and worries are completely absent, just that a person is able to solve problems calmly and balancedly. Peace is a force that everyone should strive for.
Is peace a pleasure?
When a person receives pleasure, his senses experience satisfaction. But it should be remembered that the reasons that give this feeling can be both good and bad. Sun, light, food, laughter, music and relaxation - these can be classified as benefits that are useful. Material values and luxury may please the senses, but will they bring peace and tranquility?
Sinful pleasures never lead to good. They destroy not only the body, but also the spirit, so you should abandon them and avoid any temptations in every possible way.
Achieving high goals can make a person happy and peaceful. Despite the fact that obstacles are overcome through struggle and trials, they bring the joy of victory and self-confidence. It is very difficult to describe what happiness is; it needs to be felt.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 11:42 + in the quote book 3 conditions for finding spiritual peace “A person full of faith, who has curbed his senses and inquisitively seeks spiritual knowledge is worthy of receiving it, and when he finds it, the highest comes to him immediately peace” Bhagavad-gita, verse 4.39 To achieve this spiritual peace, there are three methods, and following only one of them is not enough. They can serve as reminders of how we can maintain a path of stable, confident spiritual advancement. 1. Faith. Sometimes we convince ourselves that our faith is strong, but we must remember that it must be manifested in everything we do. Think about it. When we walk down the street, we are sure that we will wake up the next morning. It is hardly worth drawing any other analogies on this matter. The point is that we must learn to handle our faith wisely. If we make intelligent decisions and develop faith in spiritual reality, positive results will await us. If we direct our faith to the transitory aspects of existence, it will bring disappointment and sorrow, and we will not take advantage of the privilege that the Lord has given us. 2. Continuous meditation on transcendental knowledge. Then we will not be affected by experiences and sufferings in this material world. It is important to note, however, that knowledge must be transcendental and beyond material reality. To gain access to such knowledge, we must study the scriptures, worship, meditate and pray, attend lectures and listen to recordings of them, and associate with people who have similar interests. 3. Organize the activities of the senses. ...this is the key to conquering lust. Without learning to control our feelings, we will act spontaneously, emotionally and illogically. Controlling the senses is directly related to controlling the mind. Remember the old saying: “An idle mind is the devil’s forge.” Our ability to control the mind determines whether we will ultimately be able to control the senses or remain captive to them. Will the mind be able to serve the mind and soul or will it hinder their development? Only serious practice of these 3 methods under the guidance of a skilled teacher will guarantee success. Spiritual life means learning to control oneself to such an extent that one can free oneself from the confinement of this world. That is why spiritual practice aims to control the senses and subordinate the mind to reason. At the same time, it is very important that the mind is controlled by the soul. The soul has complete knowledge of our relationship with God. As soon as the mind stops interfering with our spiritual development, we will immediately be filled with spiritual awareness and a feeling of supreme pleasure and bliss. Bhakti Tirtha Swami

How to achieve peace and tranquility?
There is an opinion that people are as happy as they want them to be. Of course, there is some truth in this statement, but it is difficult to call it the truth. Inner peace is a feeling, and to achieve it, you need to try very hard.
Eternal laws will lead to happiness and harmony if you follow them. You cannot argue with the Universe; violation of certain fundamentals leads to self-destruction and psychological problems.
Reading
Scientists have proven that even six minutes of reading relieves stress.
Here's how it works:
- Reading is calming because it is a calm and monotonous process.
- Reading distracts from problems. Immersed in the plot, the reader no longer thinks about his own affairs, but about the essence of the book.
- Reading relaxes and normalizes blood pressure and heart rhythm.
- Reading gives you the opportunity to find yourself in any corner of the world and in any historical period. The main thing is that in this place there are no stressful situations that cause anxiety in real life.
There are also books on stress reduction. In this case, therapy will be not only the process of reading, but also the topic of the book itself.
Reading
Household duties and daily routine
In order not to be disappointed in yourself, you must first perform basic actions and realize yourself in the family. Achieving happiness within the confines of your own home is not easy; it requires effort and doing a little more than is required.
Failures in marriage upset not only women, but also men. The spouse must realize herself as a wife, mother and housewife, and the husband - as a breadwinner, protector and father. Only then can you count on rewards and find peace of mind.
Tips for every day
For harmony to last constantly, you need to learn to transfer it from thoughts to everyday life.
- Doing what you love. It is very important that work brings pleasure. It is difficult to remain mentally calm if you spend most of the time during the day doing something you don’t like.
- Finding the positives. In any situation you need to find the positive sides. You may need a piece of paper and a pen to get started, especially if your thoughts are difficult to put together. Having remembered a positive perspective, you need to write it down, and upon completion of the work, read the reading material and smile.
- Accepting people with their shortcomings. In an effort to find an ideal and surround themselves with the best, people often try to change their loved ones. You need to understand that everyone has their own ideals and you cannot be impeccable for everyone. Your loved ones should remain exactly as they are; if you start to change them, they will be completely different strangers. The main thing is that these people are nearby and love in their own way, as best they can. But this is their most important advantage, which covers up other visible disadvantages.
- Dream. Proper rest is very important for the body. It must be of high quality and last at least 8-9 hours. If possible, you can introduce a daily rest of about 30 minutes. In developed countries, having a daytime siesta shows an increase in employee productivity and performance.
- Prayer. Prayer helps believers in times of despondency. It allows you to spiritually distance yourself from problems and external irritation.
- Avoiding negativity. In order not to lose your peace of mind, it is better to avoid watching depressing films and talk shows. If a scandal is brewing, then you should not react to your interlocutor’s “underdresses.” It’s better to just leave at this moment; if this is not possible, then you need to mentally paint yourself a picture of the sea or other calming landscape. This will help you get distracted and focus on the negative will be less noticeable.
How to find peace of mind - 5-minute practice
Peace of mind is hard to find, but easy to lose. To maintain balance you need to work on your emotions and outlook on life. The soul, in its trepidation and vulnerability, resembles a guitar. How you set it up and what melody you choose is what it will play. Becoming a good “musician” is not difficult, the main thing is to really want it.
Develop and train character
In the process of self-development, a feeling of happiness always arises. People who live by high moral standards do not waste their time on anger and self-interest. They care about others and are also responsible and disciplined. Such people practically never experience depression or internal disagreements; they always know what they need and systematically move towards their goals.
Calming music helps fight weaknesses; it gives a person strength to fight sinful thoughts.
Meditation
Meditation disciplines and teaches emotional self-control . The human psyche is designed in such a way that we are rarely in the present. Thoughts go into failed dialogues, anxiety about the future and worries about the past. This causes an increase in already critical stress levels. Meditation can calm the mind and bring thoughts back to the present moment.
Meditation
The surest way to find inner peace and feel peace is to enjoy life. You need to be able to live and appreciate every moment. Any achievement of a goal is followed by new tasks.

Creative work
Working with your own hands and creating things that make you want to admire them is very good therapy. By being creative, a person can realize the wildest desires and dreams that were hidden deep inside. When something beautiful is created, a person experiences spiritual satisfaction.
You can show your capabilities not only in creating paintings or crafts. It would be good to bring creativity into everyday life. Doing this is not as difficult as it seems: you can diversify the recipes, come up with your own plan for cleaning, which will turn the routine into a pleasant experience. Every problem in life needs to be approached creatively, then it will not seem so complicated and confusing.
Slow down
In an atmosphere of constant chaos and stress, it is impossible to enjoy life. Mobility and multitasking are good, but often doing several things at the same time costs the performer more than one thousand nerve cells. It’s better to do it slowly , but efficiently and without unnecessary worries, than quickly , but in a stressful state and the constant feeling that you are late for something and haven’t done something.
Rest
Self acceptance
Answer the question: “Pacification - what is it?” impossible without complete acceptance of yourself as you are. You need to allow yourself to make mistakes and admit that there are no perfect people. Naturally, one should work on weaknesses, but one should not condemn them for them. You cannot punish yourself for every stupidity, otherwise you will not be able to achieve peace. You need to forgive not only other people, but also yourself.
It is necessary to learn from your own mistakes and draw the right conclusions so as not to find yourself in an unpleasant situation again. You can't be too hard on yourself. If you forgive other people, learn to forgive yourself.
Accept the circumstances
Past events cannot be changed. If you immerse yourself in long-term experiences, you will only increase the negativity in your life. Acceptance is a conscious level of understanding. You agree that the circumstances came into your life for a certain experience that you must go through. Learn the right lessons from your experiences and move forward without clinging to the past.

Affirmations are powerful
Self-love should be at the core of everything. This is the only way to achieve emotional balance. For best results, you should use affirmations - these are positive statements that contain the essence of your basic desires and needs. They need to be repeated daily, and this must be done in such a way that the subconscious mind believes every word. The affirmation must be affirmative and clearly formulated, only then will it be useful. You need to do the exercises in such a way that your emotions are sincere and vivid.
Hatred leads to emptiness...
A person who has anger and hatred inside him will never be happy. Peace cannot be the result of violence and troubles. Internal war leads to disruption of psychological balance. For harmony and peace to come, it is necessary to create, not destroy. To get rid of hatred, you can seek help from specialists.
The first step is to forgive and bless those who have hurt you. When this happens, a person’s inner world will be filled with light and calming music will begin to play in his soul.
— 11 rules for finding peace of mind.
______
1) Stop asking, “Why did this happen to me?” Ask yourself another question: “What great happened? What good can this do for me? There is goodness for sure, you just need to see it. Any problem can turn into a real gift from above if you consider it as an opportunity, and not as punishment or injustice.
2) Cultivate gratitude. Every evening, take stock of what you can say “thank you” for during the day. If you lose peace of mind, remember the good things you have and what you can be grateful for in life.
3) Exercise your body with exercise. Remember that the brain most actively produces “happiness hormones” (endorphins and enkephalins) during physical training. Therefore, if you are overcome by problems, anxiety, insomnia, go outside and walk for several hours. A quick step or run will distract you from sad thoughts, saturate your brain with oxygen and raise the level of positive hormones.
4) Develop a “cheerful posture” and come up with a happy pose for yourself. The body can help remarkably well when you need to restore peace of mind. It will “remember” the feeling of joy if you simply straighten your back, straighten your shoulders, stretch happily and smile. Consciously hold yourself in this position for a while, and you will see that the thoughts in your head become calmer, more confident and happier.
5) Return yourself to the “here and now” state. A simple exercise can help you get rid of anxiety: look around, focus on what you see. Start mentally “sounding out” the picture by inserting as many words as “now” and “here” as possible. For example: “I’m walking down the street now, the sun is shining here. Now I see a man, he is carrying yellow flowers...”, etc. Life consists only of “now” moments, don’t forget about it.
6) Don't exaggerate your problems. After all, even if you bring a fly close to your eyes, it will take on the size of an elephant! If some experience seems insurmountable to you, think as if ten years have already passed... How many problems have you already had before - you have solved them all. Therefore, this trouble will pass, don’t dive into it headlong!

7) Laugh more. Try to find something funny about the current state of affairs. If it doesn’t work out, then just find a reason to laugh sincerely. Watch a funny movie, remember a funny incident. The power of laughter is simply amazing! Peace of mind often returns after a good dose of humor.
Forgive more. Resentments are like heavy, foul-smelling stones that you carry around with you everywhere. What peace of mind can one have with such a load? So don't hold a grudge. People are just people, they cannot be perfect and always bring only goodness. So forgive the offenders and forgive yourself.
9) Give and give. There is always something that can be shared with others - attention, time, money, good deeds. True peace of mind cannot come to a person who lives only for himself. Look around - life always gives you the opportunity to take care of other people. It brings inner peace and joy.
10) Communicate more. Any pain hidden inside multiplies and brings new sad fruits. Therefore, share your experiences, discuss them with loved ones, and seek their support. Don't forget that man is not meant to be alone. Peace of mind can only be found in close relationships - friendships, love, family.
11) Pray and meditate. Don't let bad, angry thoughts control you and cause panic, pain and irritation. Change them to short prayers - an appeal to God or to meditation - a state of no-thinking. Stop the uncontrollable flow of self-talk. This is the basis of a good and stable state of mind.

Relaxation and relaxation
When a person is calm, he radiates a wave of security. The world around us responds to this message and does not even try to enter into conflict. Tension drops, fears fade into the background, and a person finds peace.
You can develop your potential every moment, because thought is material. You need to make sure that your thoughts are correct and only positive. It is very important to sincerely believe in what you dream about. This is the only way to receive a response from the Universe.
Words give rise to images, it is important to follow everything said out loud. Any action returns like a boomerang over time, so the images sent must be positive and kind. They will appear in the aura and attract others like themselves.
Getting up early - time for yourself
Not everyone can enjoy getting up early, but once you try, you will want to repeat this feat constantly. The morning hours are conducive to reflection and provide an opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle and be alone with yourself. Meeting the dawn with a cup of coffee, tea or freshly squeezed juice is the best start to the day. Overcoming bad habits always brings a feeling of peace.
