Our sages and scriptures suggest simple methods, which if followed in our daily life, will bless us with peace of mind. A few of them are as follows:
1. Always think that we are only instruments in the hands of the Lord and accept whatever comes as the result of our actions as His 'Prasadam', which will do only good for us.
2. Try to reduce 'I' in our speech and actions because the general rule is that the lesser the 'I', the more the peace of mind we will enjoy.
3. Reduce our talk, wants and desires as much as possible.
4. Practise meditation daily for some time in the morning and night.
5. Try to be optimistic always and develop positive thinking so that we will be able to see the 'best' in the 'worst'.
6. Doing our best and leave the rest to God's will.
It is very easy to say these things but difficult to do. So let us always pray to God: "O Lord! I am your child. I want to be good and do good. Kindly bless me with a pure heart so that I will always live in you."
This is the sure way for peace of mind. Let this be our prayer for this whole year.
