What is Inner Peace

Inner peace of a person is his/her state when his/her body organs and mind are not at variance with each other, or in other words, do not quarrel wit other. In this state, the whole body including the brain work in harmony with other.

Mind works at sub-conscious level to look after metabolic functions of the body, without even the subject knowing about this functioning of the mind. When a part of body or brain is at disease, the mind is required to to work at conscious level with the subject feeling the pinch. This is the state of conflict between the ailing part and the mind, resulting into losing inner peace of the subject. Thus, good health is the first and the foremost requirement of inner peace of the person.

When we have inner peace, we become more efficient in our routine activities, and a lack of it creates confusion in every step of ours. Inner peace means we are sure of our actions and confident of success. This confidence itself leads to a feeling of success even in instances of failures, because the struggle does not end there but continues with greater vigor.

Inner peace does not mean inactivity as spiritualists preach. They preach practices to calm down mind of the subject from its natural tendency of probing newer areas through thoughts and actions. Such practices make the mind habitual of idleness, which the practitioner confuses with attaining inner peace. This is a highly distorted meaning of inner peace. Inner peace results into more and better aggressive actions and certainly not the idleness or complacency of any kind.

First symptom of inner peace is lack of fears and worry about uncertainty of results of working of thoughts and actions. As a result, the person works to his/her best leading to his/her succeeding in working. Even failures are not taken as defeats but as lessons to improve upon the past performances. This results into ever-lasting pleasures in working leading to overall happiness.

A person full of joys has no interest in judging and criticizing others. he/she also does not provide unsolicited advices to others but is, through his/her actions, a source of inspirations for others. He/she is never a source of conflicts with anybody but confidently works to resolve them.

The most important feeling in a person with inner peace is his/her feeling of connectivity with the world and the nature, all aiding him/her in performing better. Because of this feeling, he/she never allows anything to happen but strives to make things work. Overall, he/she feels contented but never complacent. And finally, he/she is a seeker and provider of love.
