Thoughts of a Peace Seeking Mind
I am really a very individualistic person. I really appreciate the fact that every human being is different, independent, a master of his/her own destiny if he/she choose to. This is a very probabilistic term because of the unbreakable & impossible to solve "mystery of time" & apparent randomness in nature but I would still like to agree with Einstein's famous deterministic quote "God doesn't play a dice" considering the underlying reality of natural laws & unformity around, because laws & order reflect deterministic CONTROL, and there can be only one supreme master to govern this wonderful creation,GOD, only he or she knows the truth or the purpose, we can only try to guess.
We often underestimate the virtue & value of time despite the fact that it is the greatest gift to this universe & the cause of our existence. It is the motion of a wheel without which a wheel has no meaning. It is the creator when everything begins with it and it is the destroyer when everything ends with it.
One wise gentleman has said that "we can solve 4/5th of our problems in a fraction of time that we normally would take, if we can just sit and introspect".
And in this time, I find my true friend, solitude. Solitude is my truest friend, where my thoughts get a chance to be in sync with the nature and my imagination gets an opportunity to spread its wings beyond earthly subjects & objects. Solitude gives me "TIME TO SIT & RELAX". It allows me to be "100% MYSELF". It helps me to learn, to reflect, to concentrate, to meditate, it guides me to make right choices. If offers me shoulder when I am in pain & suffering. It is in this time, when I talk to myself, I laugh at myself, I think. I understand the responsibilities. I "CHALLENGE MY BELIEFS". And most importantly, it offers me a "PEACE OF MIND". This is the time when I see "HOPE". Loneliness is imposed but Solitude is a choice. Loneliness is about restlessness but Solitude is about rest. Solitude is not an act of cowardice but it's an act of courage, to challenge, to understand, to act. It's a window of opportunity towards the perfection.
This is what I intend to do in times of crisis. I want to use this eternal gift of time to change its state from Bad to Good. I want peace.

Good write up!!!!!!!!!! The comparison of solitude vs Loneliness is really thought provoking.
I have come across one very thought provoking quote by Shri Shri Ravishankarji ( founder of Art Of Living , NGO).
“Life is full of possibilities and honoring possibilities is spirituality”
Initially I was confused with the statement. Later one of my friends explained the meaning……
Everyday we get up. Every next moment is complete unknown to us… we living thru it. Whatever happens, there are always different possibilities to it… unless it actually happens, we don’t know what is going to happen. If we become aware of the fact that whatever we wish and however strong our wish is… by hook or crook it is going to happen the way it is supposed to happen.
The person who accepts this fact and lets his desires fall, is spiritual. We should not become obsessed about anything. And feel feverish and keep thinking of what we want. The moment we accept that whatever happens, is supposed to happen, and happens for the best, we become strong. And worriless. Life seems soooo simple then. What we have to do is just execute what we are supposed to… everything is preplanned.
Honoring possibilities is just becoming aware of the possibilities with respect to everything. And this awareness is there all the time.
That’s what I this is the best way to gain peace.
I congratulate the blogger for successfully convincing the essence of solitude in the life!!!!!!!! All the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
