8 ways to peace in mind

1. Smile - Only 4 muscles are used to smile. To have a serious face 72
muscles are used. Intelligent people work less by keeping a smile.
Doesn't matter if it is not natural. Fake it till you make it.

2. Sadhana – Why we should do sadhana every day? Our body has billions
of cells and these cells function in rotation. The cells that are on
duty today will get their slot to work only after some days. That is
why we cannot afford to miss even a day's sadhana. Do at least 20
minutes of meditation daily.

3. Sing for a few minutes every day. Just for yourself. During this
time you need not have to bother about your voice (just like during
satsang) and what others will think of it(we have done enough thinking
for others lets now take a break from it).

4. Take a walk for yourself. Sort of Nature work. Feeling the
surroundings and feeling our own Self.

5. Have a bigger goal in life – 'I want to know the TRUTH'. 'I want to
realize myself' etc., would be worthy goals.

6. Seva –Gurudev says – If you do not do seva, you are a burden on the
planet. No where He speaks harsh like this. To that extent seva is
important.
In one of the AMCs Some one asked Guruji how to attain Equanimity of
mind.Gurudev answered if you feel sad then Meditate; If you are happy
do seva

7. Once in a while reflect your life in the context of time and space
– Who am I? What i am doing to this world?It makes our worries
insignificant and makes us realize how tiny our problems are.

8. Have faith, shraddha in ourselves, in the Divine or/& in the Master.


All these eight ways are equally important and should be followed daily.
