When I read the topic for Loose Bloggers Consortium, the very first thing came to my mind was this video from Kung Fu Panda 2. The other thought was that I have written a lot of blogs related to peace of mind earlier.
The conclusion of every blog post is that peace of mind comes from within and not outside. For example –
In the blog Peace of Mind – I started of thinking peace of mind comes from owning something or being at peace is independent of owning anything? I reasoned out that peace of mind is not in achieving something in life. However, peace of mind is being at peace with our mind in the present. Because the more we think more we complicate life – life is, simple!
In another blog Arrived… where? though peace of mind was not straightforward point of discussion, but something related was discussed. My brother in law asked me a very simple question – ‘what is home?’ ‘what is school?’ How do you define home/school etc” In that same discussion the conclusion was – home relates more to a feeling – comfort, peace.
In one more blog Dichotomy on happiness the question I ask was – happiness requires fulfillment of the CONDITIONS we create for being happy or it is a feeling irrespective of what happens in our life/to us? These conditions, to me, are never ending… as it happens to the squirrel in Ice Age-Trilogy and to Chaipau in Salaam Bombay“. Dichotomy of happiness is you decide on what you enjoy doing or you remain happy irrespective of the situation you are in….
In all these thoughts, the real peace of mind was understood when I first saw Dadaji (Dada Gavande), here is a tribute blog to Dadaji. “When I saw him for the first time, and later as well, I was completely awe stuck, everything, thought and feeling vanished. So much of serenity was flowing off his face that I had nothing to talk or ask.” If you want to experience such peace of mind, you either have to meet an enlightened master or be enlightened yourself.
There were about 10 or more blogs in which peace of mind was touched upon. For more of my thoughts on peace of mind, read What are you searching for? where really the question is to you. In another blog Is religion another organized crime? the point is have religion lost their meaning? In the blog Money what is it? I tried to create another fictitious currency. In another blog Fish will fly in its next birth how my sister tried pacifying her daughter whose fish had just died.

I personally know of the turmoil that you went through and how providence provided you with the peace of mind that your marriage has provided. Nothing more needs to be said.

😀 that was a fight with the community in which I am born. No one heard me perhaps, except some girls. Hope the message is convey to at least few. Now I am kind of above it, My attitude towards that is “who cares?”
By the way my wife is very happy reading your comment.

Thank you so much Dunna for your words of appreciation. Actually I write on LBC posts selectively when I feel I can relate to it well to the concept of my blog. The title was perfect for this week.

Actually, I know that the titles I send in are probably not right for your blog, but have you ever thought of how you could write on them anyway to say what you mean? A topic like Santa and brake lights, for example, could be the basis for an interesting article of how you think on outside regulation and inside regulation ie responsibility. I was told that the lbc was there to explore all aspects of an issue with all people, and this was my thought when I set up some of the topics. Ps you can call me Lin
