Peace

Often times when people find out I’m a spiritualist, they reply with “oh that’s peace”. While true, but there’s more beyond peace that spirituality brings in life. Peace could be considered a really really external by-product of performing spiritual activities.

dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo ’tra paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ satāṁ

vedyaṁ vāstavam atra vastu śivadaṁ tāpa-trayonmūlanam

śrīmad-bhāgavate mahā-muni-kṛte kiṁ vā parair īśvaraḥ

sadyo hṛdy avarudhyate ’tra kṛtibhiḥ śuśrūṣubhis tat-kṣaṇāt  [SB 1.1.2]

Srimad Bhagavatam, the topmost authority in vedic texts, in the very begining kicks away all religious activities that are materially motivated. It establishes love of God in the heart of anyone who reads it.

ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā

varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ

svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya

saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam  [SB 1.2.13]

This verse commemorates that, whatever occupation we are doing, whichever stage of life we may be in, work should only be done for the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

dharmaḥ svanuṣṭhitaḥ puṁsāṁ

viṣvaksena-kathāsu yaḥ

notpādayed yadi ratiṁ

śrama eva hi kevalam  [ SB 1.2.8]

“The occupational activities a man performs according to his own position are only so much useless labor if they do not provoke attraction for the message of the Personality of Godhead . “

“ Everybody is looking for KṚṢṆA. Some don’t realize that they are, but they are.”  – George Harrison, Beatle

Each of us, at perfection of our spiritual endeavours, can have personal relationships with the Lord in one of 5 mellows which are: as an admirer, servitorship, fraternity, parental affection and conjugal love.

And to start your journey, all you need to do is chant:

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa

Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare

Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma

Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare
