ALL MEN MUST DIE

selfish intellect gives rise to inner turmoil

People run around in the world in search
for inner peace but how can they attain it?
Only when inner peace exists will one find
external peace. Therefore, one must have faith in
the fact that peace is to be found within; only
then one can attain inner peace.
The Lord has asked to keep an eye on
the pointer-gauge that rotates over inner and
external happiness. If inner happiness goes
down and external happiness goes up, then
know that you are doomed. A little fluctuation
up and down is acceptable but not
completely down.

 One has increased his
external happiness so much by buying
apartments worth millions, there is an enormous
amount of food around; man has so much to
eat and drink, boxes and boxes of fruits and
yet he has high blood pressure and heart
attacks and his wife has diabetes. The doctors
have put ‘muzzles on their mouths’ (placed
eating restrictions). So who is going to eat all
this? The rats, his servant and his cook will
eat and become glowing and rotund! Enter his
expensive apartment and you feel as if you
have entered a cemetery. His conversation with
you is filled with sheer ego. He will serve you
expensive tea but in the absence of real inner
intent even gold loses its worth. When you
look at him, he appears as if he has forgotten
how to smile. What kind of a gift of external
happiness is this?

Inner happiness brings forth contentment
and external happiness increases one’s greed.
Inner peace cannot remain where there is selfserving
intellect.
