What Is Inner Peace?

By Remez Sasson

I have written a lot about inner peace, but it seems most people don't understand what it is.

Some time ago, I received an email from a reader, saying she doesn't want inner peace, because she wants to be active and alive. She was afraid it might make her passive and take all the fun from her life. She also said that she prefers her mind to be active and restless, not calm.

Well, this only shows lack of understanding what inner peace is and how it would improve your life in many ways.

What is Inner Peace?

We need to define this term. Inner peace is not a state of passivity, and certainly does not make life dull. On the contrary, it makes you more conscious, alive and happy. It helps you live life more fully.

Here is how Wikipedia defines it:
"Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being 'at peace' is considered by many to be healthy and the opposite of being stressed or anxious."

Inner peace means among other things that there is no overthinking and too much analyzing of every situation. It means no running from one thought to another, constantly ruminating about some past incident, no constant dwelling on hurts and what people said or did. It means no waste of time, energy and attention on unimportant and meaningless thoughts.


The Mind Is Like a Room Crammed with a Lot of Stuff




Imagine that one day you decide to clean your room.


You clean and wash it, and then put back only the essential stuff. How do you feel now, when you are in your room? Isn't there an exhilarating feeling of joy? There is a lot of space, you can move freely and find everything easily.



Did you lose anything of importance in this process? No, you lost absolutely nothing. You only gained a lot.
