Awakening

In a burning world of today you can achieve peace of mind only if you awaken your mind by meditation, following spiritual teachings of great Prophets who came on this earth from time to time. Awakening of mind is the need of time to achieve the peace of mind. Awareness is like the sun when it shines on things, they are transformed. You are rich, when you are content and happy with what you have. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no voice, troubles or hard work, it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Be soft, do not let the world make your hard. Do not let pain make you heart. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Remember when root is deep there is no reason to fear of wind. In this book of mine "Awakening" I have thrown light on various subjects to awaken your mind and to have a happy and peaceful life. To believe is to perceive - either by senses or the soul. This distinction constitutes two classes - the sceptic and the believer, which though dependent on, may yet be incomprehensible to each other; but both being necessary to established the balance of thought, they are forced into existence and become the links and cross-links which make life's endless chain from thought to truth.

It is a great thing to know the laws of physical nature and exercise control over it. But still greater is to know the laws which govern the human mind, and it is the greatest victory to conquer the mind which conquered the matter, so that he remains no more slave to the matter to conquer which he worked so hard, and thus avoid the greatest contradiction of life.
