In Love With Peace

In the world of decision-making, there is a factor that appears to be small but has big influence on the flow of life then, it is called the time factor. When the time is wrong, how precise the decision is, life could be dangerous. When the time is correct, how poor the decision is, there's a chance of survival.

The question then, how does one know when the time is right or wrong? Learning from the spiritual journey of famous samurai Miyamoto Musashi, within each of us there are spiritual messages that should be read everyday. Sadly, there are very few people in this age who can read the spiritual messages inside.

In the moment when you feel calm, peaceful, free from fear, that is the most appropriate time to make important decisions in life. As experienced by many high level spiritual seekers, when the decision is made in a perfect tranquility, many unexpected things emerged as the enabling conditions.

One day Mahatma Gandhi was ready to lead a great demonstration involving thousands of people to protest against the British colonialists. However, when he was ready to lead demonstration, Gandhiji saw there was anger within him. For that reason, he chose to meditate rather than leading demonstration.

The Song of Sensitivity

"If spiritual connection is the root of soul healing, then how can we attain such connection?", that is the question of many spiritual students. This is also the reason why many friends diligently practice yoga, prayer, meditation and other spiritual practices.

Any friends who spent much time in the crowd in young age, deeply feel the limit of living in the crowd know, there comes a time in life that one should grow deeply in solitude. Then finally learn to read the holy book within. 

Sadly, most people scare of solitude. Some even called the life in solitude can be easily tempted by the devil. Any beautiful souls who have grown mature know that perfection can only be found in solitude. While the ordinary people scare of solitude, beautiful souls find wholeness (completeness) in solitude.

The Dancing of Peace

What is the secret behind the long-lived marriage?. That's the question of many young generation who want long-lasting marriage. Some of friends who married to the same partner for more than a quarter of century understand, marriage is the melting of two bodies into one beautiful soul.

However, the process of melting these two bodies into one beautiful soul takes a very long time. We should pass many trials and obstacles. This long journey is very complicated and difficult as well. Marriage is not like the meeting of nuts and bolts which fit from the beginning until the ending. Marriage is a continuous struggle to love and love again.

To make it simple but deep, the process of melting the two bodies into one beautiful soul grow like this. Initially, all couples are interested in their spouse because of somethings outside such as face shape, posture, the way to speak,  similarity of education. Marriage which is based on something outside usually do not last long, even sensitive to conflict. It is like the rind which is not always reflect the quality of fruits within.

Any couples who can pass this obstacle at the beginning, then they can grow deeper, they are no longer interested in their pair because of something outside, but because of certain qualities inside. Patience, tolerance, the ability to forgive, the sincerity to serve, the quality of love to the family and children are some of inner qualities which make marriage last long.

The Smile of Compassion

Almost everyone run away from the harming enemies. There are very few souls who can see the glowing diamond behind enemies. And the last diamond can be found when you are patient and tolerant enough to the enemies. Any souls who are tolerant enough in this case, one day they will see beautiful light appear from within.

In the depth of the deep ever heard a beautiful message like this: "be kind to the harming enemies, they are here to make your heart beautiful". Sadly, most people only see tragedy behind the harming enemy, very few who see an opportunity of being beautified.

The main reason why enemies are recommended to be treated well, they are beautiful hands which are borrowed by the Guru to soften the heart. It is impossible for holy books, holy Guru to hurt you. But to soften the heart one need sandpapers of pain and wound.
