Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 02-08-2009
I would like to answer a question someone has asked: “I have everything – more money than I need, a home to live in yet why do I not have the peace of mind?” (Amaithi). Separate the word into three syllables (a-mai-thi). Only after you have put out the fire (thee or thi) can you get amaithi or peace. This is the reason. There is an inner fire in each of you. This makes you want to achieve several goals. If you are not able to do this, you lose your peace of mind. You are discontented with what you have. Instead tell yourself, there are so many with less than what I have. I should be grateful that God has given me so much.
If you do not adopt this way of thinking you will only keep seeking more and more. It becomes endless and peace will always seem to evade you. “What should I do to get past this?” we may ask.
1) First maintain your physical health. Your arms, legs eyes and ears should all be in good condition. There are so many without even this!
2) There is a roof over your head. There are those without even this. They live exposed to the sun and the rain. There are people living under trees! Think of this.
3) There are people without even one meal a day. If you contemplate on this you will realize how blessed you are. The more you adopt this way of thinking the more you shall peace. This is my explanation.
