Finding Peace and Happiness Worries and miseries are twin evils that go hand in hand. They co-exist in this world. If you feel worried, you are miserable! If you are miserable, you are worried! Face facts! Although we cannot run away from them, we must not let these twin evils of worry and misery overcomes us. We must overcome them. We can do so by our own human efforts, correctly directed with determination and patience. With proper understanding and carefully applied intelligence, we should be able to subdue our emotional feelings and do away with worries and miseries. Our worries are of our own making. We create them in our own minds, through our inability or failure to understand the danger of our egoistic feelings and the inflated and false values we attach to things. If only we could see things in their perspective, in that nothing is permanent in this world and that our own egoistic self is our wild imagination running riot in our untrained mind, we should be going a long way to finding the remedy to eradicate our worries and miseries. We must cultivate our minds and hearts to forget about self and to be service and use to humanity. This is one of the means whereby we can find real peace and happiness. Many people have longings and hankerings, fears and anxieties which they have not learn to sublimate and are ashamed to admit them even to themselves. But these wholesome emotions have force. No matter how we may try to bottle those up they seek a release by affecting the physical machinery resulting in chronic illness. All these can be repelled by correct methods of meditation or mental culture, because the untrained mind is the cause of such worries. Whenever you have worries in your mind, do not show your sulky face to each and every person you come across. Reveal your worries only to those who really can help you. How nice it would be if you could maintain your smiling face in spite of all the difficulties confronting you. This is not very difficult if only you really try. One's state of mind is subject to control and direction; the negative use of thought produces our fears; the positive use realizes hopes and ideals, and in these cases the choice rests entirely with us. Every human being has the ability to completely control his own mind. Nature has endowed man with absolute control over but one thing, and that is his thought. This fact, coupled with the additional fact that everything which man creates begins in the form of a thought, leads one very near to the principle by which fear may be mastered. A noted British anatomist was once asked by a student what was the best cure for fear, and he answered, "Try doing something for someone". The student was considerably astonished by the reply, and requested further enlightenment whereupon his instructor said, "You can't have two opposing thoughts in your mind at one and the same time". One set of thoughts will always drive the other out. If, for instance, your mind is completely occupied with an unselfish desire to help someone else, you can't be harboring fear at the same time. "Worry dries up the blood sooner than age". Fears, worries and anxieties in moderation are natural instincts of self-preservation. But constant fear and prolonged worry are unfailing enemies to the human organism. They derange the normal bodily functions. If you have learned how to please others, you always will be in a good mood. This is because your mind does not allow worries to be accommodated in it. Therefore, always and only keep a joyful mind!
