A Simple Method to Achieve Peace and Silence in the Mind

1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:05,100
There are a number of proven
methods for achieving peace and

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:09,400
silence in the mind, some are
more arduous than others.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,100
The more one works at it.
The more inward pressure want to

4
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,900
search to try to achieve this
status, the greater the

5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:21,300
intrusions that forced
themselves on the mind.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,300
This is the result of a rajasic
effort filled with desire for a

7
00:00:26,308 --> 00:00:30,600
particular result.
The mother suggest the method

8
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,900
that releases this pressure and
allows peace and quiet in the

9
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:40,000
mind to come over time with
repeated effort but without

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,600
being filled with desire and any
aggressive method, peace is the

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,400
method and peace is the result.
A disciple asks, how can we

12
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,500
establish a settled peace and
silence in the mind?

13
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:03,700
The mother writes quote, first
of all you must want it and then

14
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:08,800
you must try and must persevere.
Continue trying What?

15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600
I have just told you is a very
good means yet.

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,500
There are others.
Also, you sit quietly to begin

17
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:20,500
with and then instead of
thinking of 50 things, you begin

18
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,000
saying to yourself.
Peace.

19
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:28,500
Peace, peace, peace.
Peace.

20
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:35,100
Calm peace.
You imagine peace and calm.

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,500
You Aspire ask that.
It may come peace, peace, calm.

22
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:49,000
And then when something comes
and touches you and acts say

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,200
quietly like this peace.
Peace.

24
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:58,000
Peace.
Do not look at the thoughts.

25
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:01,100
Do not listen to the thoughts.
You understand?

26
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:06,500
You must not pay attention to
everything that comes You know,

27
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
when someone bothers you a great
deal and you want to get rid of

28
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,500
him you don't listen to him.
Do you good?

29
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,400
You turn your head away gesture
and think of something else.

30
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,100
Will you must do that?
When thoughts come?

31
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,300
You must not.
Look at them must not.

32
00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:27,400
Listen to them.
Must not pay any attention at

33
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,100
all.
You must behave as though they

34
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:31,800
did not exist.
You see?

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,000
And then repeat all the time.
Like a con kind of how shall I

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,500
put it as an idiot?
Does who repeats the same thing

37
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,900
always?
Well you must do the same thing.

38
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:47,200
You must repeat.
Peace.

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,400
Peace.
Peace.

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,900
So you try this for a few
minutes and then do what you

41
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:58,300
have to do.
And then another time you begin

42
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:03,400
again, sit down again and then
try Do this, I'm getting up in

43
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
the morning.
Do this in the evening when

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,500
going to bed?
You can do this look, if you

45
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:14,000
want to digest your food
properly, you can do this for a

46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,200
few minutes before eating you
can imagine how much this helps

47
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,600
your digestion before beginning
to eat.

48
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,800
You sit quietly for a while and
say peace peace.

49
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Peace and everything becomes
calm.

50
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,300
It seems as though all the
noises were going far far far

51
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,600
away.
Mother stretches out her arms on

52
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,500
both sides.
And then you must continue.

53
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,400
And there comes a time when you
no longer need to sit down and

54
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,500
no matter what you are doing, no
matter what you are saying, it

55
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,900
is always peace.
Peace.

56
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,800
Peace.
Everything remains here like

57
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,800
this.
It does not enter gesture in

58
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,200
front of the forehead, it
remains like this and then one

59
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,800
is always in a perfect piece
after some years.

60
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,200
But at the beginning, a very
small beginning, two or three

61
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,400
minutes, it is very simple for
something complicated.

62
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,500
You must make an effort and when
one makes an effort, one is not

63
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,400
quiet.
It is difficult to make an

64
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,600
effort while remaining quiet.
Very simple, very simple.

65
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,700
You must be very simple in these
things.

66
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,300
It is though, you were learning
how to call a friend by dint of

67
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:53,100
being called, he comes will make
peace and calm your friends and

68
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,200
call them.
Come peace.

69
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,600
Peace peace.
Peace.

70
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:07,200
Come.
