PEACE OF MIND IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

There is no loss in life except three immeasurable qualities – peace of mind, character, and attitude.

Mr. kumar started as an employee in a Multi-National company. He felt his future depended only on amount of money he accumulates. So, he worked hard to earn better position in company in order to draw higher salary. He promoted much of his time in acquiring more knowledge and learning; sparing less time with his family. He developed in his life, and had a fat amount in his bank account.
Unfortunately, one day he met with an accident which crippled his limbs by which he became handicapped and the treatment required so large amount that he lost most of them, he had earned. Followed by his father’s health treatment, the account became meagre. He lost his job, because he was a handicap. He felt that he has lost everything in his life, and nothing is left to exist.
Losing his mental stability, he committed suicide. But by God’s guidance, he was saved by his family members.
His spiritually aligned friend provided him a set of books to change his attitude. He dissolved himself with the books, since it answered every problem, his mind was bearing. He acquired knowledge about life and its importance and learned “How to acquire happiness in nothing”.
He practised meditation. He understood himself and analysed his competence. He discovered that money which was used as a motivating factor was the reason for all these miseries. Now he replaced the factor “money” by “peace of mind with attitude”. He returned back as he was earlier but with a difference, his aim was to achieve peace of mind.
With the knowledge he had acquired earlier, he started himself as an internet entrepreneur. Even with loss of legs, he enjoyed good income with the warm guidance of his family.
He started to donate excess earning towards underprivileged. He felt as if, he was on the top of the world, by providing happiness in the life of the needy.
Never in rest of his life, he moved by riches, but he was always attracted towards attitude and character.
Ability will get you success; character will keep you successful.

QUOTES: "Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed." - Eileen Caddy
