(II) Second Law Of Peace - Acceptance is the sweetest living
If you want to have peace of mind, you will need to ACCEPT these in your life - as they are; without ifs' and buts'.
1) Three qualities of mind
- People are what they are. They helplessly following their root character-patterns.
2) Past and future
- Past exists only in one's transient mental formations - one's memory.
- Future cannot be known or controlled by anybody.
- Unconscious dwelling in them always spoils the present by causing distress and worries.
- We can choose to live in awareness, love and happiness, that is very much within our domain.
3) The present circumstances
- This present moment is our opportunity to grow in detachment, fulfillment, understanding and love.
- When you are in your thought, the NOW slipped off
- If it is difficult situation, we need to make full use of it for learning detachment, strengthening our endurance and growing spiritually.
Nature will continue to test us.
- Peace needs to be learnt. One may not be born with it, but one can certainly study and practice for growing in peace.
4) The inevitable
- People will change; the amount of money we have will change; status will change; everybody will get old; beauty will never remain.
- One who is ever ready and alert about acceptance can never be unhappy.
5) The necessary
- What ought to be done, what is obligatory in the given circumstances and what is the righteous course of action has to be freed from the clutches of dilemmas.
- Things might be unpleasant, but if they are right then there ought to be no vacillation in execution.
