Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town
with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they
were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and
Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water
from that lake there." 

The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached
it, he noticed that right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing
through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid.
The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha
to drink!" 

So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there
is very muddy. I don´t think it is fit to drink." After about half an
hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him
some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. 

This time too he found that the lake was muddy. He
returned and informed Buddha about the same. After sometime, again Buddha asked
the same disciple to go back. 

The disciple reached the lake to find the lake
absolutely clean and clear with pure water in it. The mud had settled down
and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in
a pot and brought it to Buddha. 

Buddha
looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See
what you did to make the water clean. You let it be.... and the mud settled
down on its own - and you got clear water.  

  

Your mind is also like that! When it is
disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its
own. You don´t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen.
It is effortless."   

What did Buddha emphasize here? He said, "It is
effortless." Having `Peace of Mind´ is not a strenuous job; it is an
effortless process! 

In life everything goes on................Keep Going. 

Have a peaceful Life! 

KEEP SMILING...........................not because of something, but inspite of everything.

With great respect to Buddha,and also to Mr.Dikshit: Buddha was an agnostic and did not use many of the better techniques available to us from ancient times. 

If the vehicular traffic does not stop, how long one could wait for the water to become clear on its own? This is like saying that if one is afflicted with typhoid, just leave him. He would become all right in due course.

Manas (human mind) has a tendency to become confused when afflicted with negative emotions like fear, jealousy etc. It is a very powerful inner instrument but we have a more powerful inner instrument called buddhi to regulate our mind. We should assert our intellectual prowess and drive away confusion of the mind and restore calmness. In Bhakti marg, there are methods like namasmarana, nama japa to get rid of mental turmoil.

Really very beautiful article sir, Thanks for sharing....

Lord Budhha's teaching's central point was "Attachment and Desire are the root cause of all the miseries". If one lives his life detached from everything he possess, he will definitely get peace of mind
