What is Peace of Mind ?

[jasdir]

In my opinion peace of mind is feeling spiritual. How I feel it !! Whenever I tried to do any Japamala or Strotram, HAPPY feeling stays with me. You feel peace, it is an experience, if you have emotions and devotion for GOD. Like during Navratri, on the day of Mahashivratri, I feel very good on these days. When you go to temple how do you feel !! that is called peace of mind. But this feeling has to be there for all day long then it is good but as soon as we enter this worldly activities, our peace gets disturbed. Our peace of mind gets disturb when something favourable or unfavourable event happens.

AmIHindu ji, You wrote: but as soon as we enter this worldly activities, our peace gets disturbed.

Can you tell me -- which worldly activities disturb our peace of mind ? and why ?

Or anybody else can throw some light on this matter ?

Piece of mind might be considered to be ... cittaja.

cittaja = heart born, love, God of love.

Its Ok, but why we are away from this, or due to what we are away from this ?

[jasdir]

Peace of mind = absence of worry and/or anxiety about anything. It's a feeling of well-being.

I wish I could come anywhere near this:

"He for whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anyone, who is equipoised in happiness and distress, fear and anxiety, is very dear to Me." - Bhagavad Gita 12.15

TouchedbytheLord ji, what are the CAUSES of worry or anxiety about anything in life ?

We allow our peace of mind to be played in the hands of our desires due to our own foolish conditioning.

OM

Devotee ji, what is CAUSE of our desires, or what is cause of our foolish conditioning ?

Namaste Jasdir et.al,

I agree with AmIHindu. To me, peace of mind is when God occupies your mind. I experience great peace of mind while doing puja, meditating, and japa. Also just something like going for a walk in nature, keeping your mind on God and letting the shakti permeate you.

Right before I came on here I listened to a beautiful rendition of Chamakam. Just sitting there with eyes closed for ten minutes, listening and being absorbed by the enchanting sounds...that is peace of mind.

Jai Sri Ram

Ok, but like AmIhindu ji, said: As soon as we enter this worldly activities, our peace gets disturbed.

I cant describe it in teory

OK

but i feel grateful in , every sesion of life i feel Baghavati always with me (whatever happened in my life).

May be
But i think.. Yes! human life is very short, but not that short -- that one could say: I feel, or I will feel, greatful in every session of life, due to _____ or whatever.
Who knows which type of conditions we have to face in our coming life.

Anyways... very nice to meet you Shian ji.

I should be interested to hear your thoughts also jasdir.

If I may be so bold; It is the attachment to the fruit of action which creates friction within our minds, Action free from attachment has no disturbing affect.

Fear of the result of action may be said to be caused by subconscious knowledge of latent desires. The continued existence of the ego.

The effect of the guna is never completely void, yet to be awear of their movement, to see it from a distance allows one to auto compensate for their effect; rather like gimbels on a ships compass.

The notion of a force is somewhat misleading, we are impelled by Karma rather than forced, this is why the notion its self is so subtle and illusive. Force is which the ego perceives and does, the self is impelled by the field. How ever once we realise this, we may become compelled, still the same ego effect.

For example magnatisme, it is not a force unless named as such, the notion of which is misleading. The magnetic field just is that. Geometric, a landscape, within which all things interact simultaneously; neutral/+/-.

The initial 3 dimensions to make the Geometry of a landscape from which other effects may then emerge.

Satva, Rajas, Tamas.

These three guna make prakRit, within these three axis; what is the coefficient of friction? How does this effect movement?

Do body's attract?

I would stipulate that Rajas attracts Tamas and vis versa, that Satva in neutrality breaks the bonds of attachment.

Ok, thought process and musing over ...

Rajas attracts Tamas, and Tamas Rajas. The neutrality of Satva, breaks these bonds. How ever if we are in a state of predominant Rajas or Tamas, we may need to move through either Tamas or Rajas to find neutrality.

Satva facilitates this movement; reducing friction, reducing heat.

We all search for stability within this field. That; to my minds eye, explains the desires which we create, in order to help us evolve; some times revolve ...

You said we are impelled by karmas, but am asking WHAT impelled us to do that first karma ?
