The calmness which you find at rest is not true CALMNESS. Only the calmness which you find in action is genuine.
Similarly, the peace of mind which you find in retirement is not true peace of mind. Only the peace of mind you find in the midst of struggle is true peace of mind.
When we are in difficulty, everything around us has the potential of being our ally, only we fail to notice it. When things are going well everything around us has the potential of being our enemy, only we fail to see it.
The mouth is the gate of the mind. If you are not careful, it will spill all your secrets. Intention is the feet of the mind. If not controlled it will carry you forthwith down the wrong path.
If let alone, waves on the water naturally calm down. The mirror reflects clearly if there is no smoke. Similarly, there is no need to make our mind clear. All we need to do is remove the things which cloud it and make it dark. Then it is naturally pure. There is no need to force pleasure if we remove the cause of suffering.
We naturally experience joy.
