Chapter 59 : Tranquility

'Once talking about fate.. he had said.. “Why is it that sometimes God will give you everything, but will not let you have any of it?”

Once when talking about family ..he wondered even though a male and female start their family journey after accepting each other, the mutual respect, belief and love wanes why? Whenever someone else appreciates/praises their spouse they are filled with pride for a moment. But, when seeing each other that respect will not stay why? What’s this but a God’s play? Though, the bodies mingle the minds do not.. why? Marriage should be a process of two minds coming together.

In another instance he had said, coming together of a male and a female is like union of man and nature, both are equal, nobody is any better than the other one.. Neither is subservient to the other nor better than the other. Respecting each other and staying together as friends is what is required and this would serve as mark of respect for our elders and model for our society and next generation.

It is a common misconception that families with more money lead a happier life. What is necessary is love, respect to each other and tolerance. Money is necessary for living and not life by itself.. is it not? By questioning like this he would quell our illusion about money and social status.

Our life is similar to how people with stark differences travel in one bus and get down at their respective stations he once said this about life, clearing all our misconceptions about the same in one simile.

Tranquility and happiness are what are to be searched inside and not outside. If our mind is calm we can prevail over the most adverse situations. If our mental state itself is not stable we cannot expect much.

We should not try and change external things in vain; rather we should change our mental state and perspective of those external things.
