Inner Peace

A large amount of research has been showing that once inner peace is achieved the heart becomes happy and the mind ‘feels’ liberated, all leading to a peaceful state…at this point, you truly realize that in fact there is no greater wealth in this world than a lasting peace of mind. Our elders often said that "the true peace always comes from within". 
The short simple story below is emphasizing that self-analysis is essential to achieve inner peace. Enjoy the reading!

Story: The internal peace

“Once upon a time, a student said to his teacher: - Professor, I have an ungovernable temper. Can you please help me get rid of it?

- You have something very strange, said the teacher. - Show it to me.

 - Right now I cannot show it to you.

- Why not?

- Because it arises suddenly.

- Then it cannot be your own true nature, said the teacher. 
If it were, you would be able to show it to me at any time…so, why are you allowing something that is not yours to trouble your life. Thereafter, whenever the student felt his temper rising the remembered his teacher's words and checked himself. In time, with discipline and perseverance, he developed a calm and balanced spirit, and acquired a steady inner peace."

“Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.”
