I did look up on the internet and found a couple of definitions for peace
International Peace: The absence of conflict or hostility between nations.
Interpersonal Harmony: Positive and amicable relationships between individuals.
Inner Peace: A state of tranquility, contentment, and freedom from anxiety or worry.
Environmental Harmony: A balanced and harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural world.
is everyone looking for definition of peace mentioned above? It depends on their individual circumstances. Some people may prioritize finding a job, a partner, a car, or achieving fame before seeking inner tranquility. For them, attaining these goals may be a prerequisite for experiencing peace.
When a yogi looks at peace it looks for a permanent state. Happiness can contribute to peace, it's not a guarantee. Unfulfilled desires can shatter even the most serene state of mind. Hence, peace is not happiness. External factors may contribute to turmoil, but true peace resides within. It's a state of mind that can be accessed anytime.
Peace is the calm after the storm. It's a state of inner harmony where you're no longer swayed by external factors. Peace is a state of being beyond happiness, sadness, and boredom. It's when you're fully present and unaffected by external circumstances.
Yogi achieves inner peace through meditation, a practice that requires patience and persistence. During meditation, thoughts may initially wander, focusing on mundane desires like food or sweets. It might be that you sit in meditation and start saying mentally "inner peace, inner peace" and your thoughts will sway you to think "breakfast please, breakfast please" or to "rasgulla please, rasgulla please". However, with continued practice, these distractions gradually subside, allowing the mind to settle into a state of tranquility. Maya/Satan's role is to tempt us away from our spiritual goals, but with unwavering determination and consistent meditation, we can ultimately overcome these obstacles and attain inner peace.
