Action and Activity.

The War and The Peace within.

----------------------©-------------------------

When the mind is spontaneously, naturally at peace it is in a state of joy-uncaused. Then one is sensitive and all action happens out of this spontaneous joy and happiness. There is no specific goal or the mission to achieve the goal in hope for reward or incentive. When there is no sensitivity and one is concerned only about one's own petty goals and aims, maybe there too one can be inspired and do great efforts with great enthusiasm, there is but competition, rivalry, ambition that gives rise to doubt and fear of failure, and hope of success too. This failure or success may last for a short or somewhat long moment, still there is a line of sadness around it.

World is full of such people of all kinds who have many a great goals, missions, ambitions and though they succeed too, still there is no lasting peace, joy in the end. But when the action comes from the peace, from the very core of the heart and mind, there is insight, one is inspired and there is the action that is creativity. There is no strife and struggle any. There is no doubt, fear, thought of success or failure in the mind. The Happiness turns into action and results into Happiness alone. Or, rather the peace alone reigns throughout.

Unfortunately, all our educational, cultural upbringing is focused around success and victory. Rarely someone follows the insight and is happy in the spontaneous peace and joy that is to be discovered in oneself. One always keeps running after the ambitions, goals to achieve in the imaginary future. Be it in any field, Industry, Business, Modelling, films or the entertainment business. There is the ideal,  the religion, the culture and kinds of hatred, jealousy envy and war at many levels. Obviously, all these things inevitably bring and breed violence which justifies and glorifies wars and the 'sacrifice supreme'. There is politics always taking the toll of the  clarity and the compassion.

Is it not really a matter of common sense to see, where-to all this activity is leading us!

It is where all human consciousness has to deal with, to be concerned about. Maybe one alone can't change the world, the world-view nor the world-vision, yet one can find peace of mind within oneself. At least he will have the peace of the mind. He will also have the empathy, compassion too, towards the state of the world and about the world-affairs.

All have to die one day, but in what state of mind one dies is far more important.
