Peace is just by now

Several years ago my friend and I had been trying different way to practice our consciousness development. My friend chose the way of purifying his mind by avoiding every bad things. I chose the way of accepting everything as normal (no meaning) avoid attachment or naming things. He warned me that my way was risky. I accepted that and we walked our own way.

Till last month I met him by chance. We are in the same way now. He said he can sometimes even sitting drinking water in the same table with the others who are drinking alcohol. Before we met last month he was very angry when he saw people drinking. I gave respect to him. He is on the way of no meaning, no side, no judgement already. I'm still sometimes not comfortable when sitting in the conversation I don't like such as talking about women sex appeal, gossiping the boss etc.

Detachment isn't easy but my friend could do that already. I'm grateful for his achievement and hope one day I could either. Choosing side, attachment, judging, taking things personally etc., all these things make us suffering but we are still doing it because of ego, self, pride or whatever it is. We can leave all of these bad habits by only feeling or touching how worthless, how small and how meaningless of this struggling to be someone else but we are.

We are where/ when/ whom we are. There's no need to struggle for achievement to what we are not. Peace is just by now. No need to find it. We are having happiness within now, no where else, no when else and no one else.

Mind peace can be achieved by not struggling but doing. Don't let everything go but consider. With purity of mind, truth will appear. Then the appropriate act would play its role.

Hello Khun Chulapinan,

In my point of view, we have no need to have purity of mind in our mind. Because it is what it is. It can't be purified. It is only what it is. Accept it as it is, that's it only. When we accept to lose wiithout struggling anymore at that time we can feel peace immediately.

But if your meaning for purity of mind is no thought (choosing side, attachment, judging etc.), I accept that. This is the limit of language for communication.

There was one time I almost died in the vortex of the river. I was struggling few minutes. When I was losing my breath, I accepted to die already. At that time my feeling was very peaceful. It was quick, all memories and faces pass through my head. And immediately the tide pushed me out.

Moral of my story is making yourself striaght when you are in vortex. Accept the tide as it is. The smooth tide is always straight. ^_^
