[Desi Tarka] SERENITY

 

Serenity

 

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control.
Its presence is an indication of ripened experience,
and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

A person becomes calm in the measure that one understands themselves as a
thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding
of others as the result of thought, and as one develops a right understanding,
and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action
of cause and effect, one ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve,
and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

The calm person, having learned how to govern themselves,
knows how to adapt themselves to others; and they, in turn,
reverence their spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of them
and rely upon them.

The more tranquil a person becomes,

the greater is their success,
their influence, their power for good.

Even the ordinary trader will find their business prosperity increase as one develops
a greater self control and equanimity,

for people will always prefer to deal with a person whose demeanor
is strongly equable.

The strong, calm person is always loved and revered.

They are like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm.

Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life?

It does not matter whether it rains or shines,
or what changes come to those possessing these blessings,
for they are always sweet, serene, and calm.

That exquisite poise of character which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture;
is the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul.
It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold, than even fine gold.

How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life –
a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves,
beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet
and beautiful by explosive tempers,

who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood!

It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives
and mar their happiness by lack of self-control flow few people we meet in life
who are well-balanced,

who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!
