Can you find peace in the world?

This world does not take our inner well being too far. We exist in the world but we never quite find absolute peace in the world—and the world means the one that has characteristics, the one that comes and goes, the one that is within the scope of time. So, there comes a point of time when things with all its names, properties, come into being— there is a cause-effect chain behind everything—and then there comes another point in time when the thing disappears.

Brahm is for the ones who no more assign value to these things, because they are experienced enough, probably intelligent enough to have tested these things, penetrated these things, and discovered that they can only do so much good and nothing beyond that.

Things are useful in our day to day business. We require things. How can we say things are all useless? So, things have their utility. Maybe things have great utility; maybe things take you as far as the 99th milestone, but if 100 is the destination, things somehow fail in reaching there.

That is when Adhyātma kicks in. That is when you realize that you need to have something beyond things. For things, the world cannot be totally relied upon, and somehow the mind seeks perfect security; the mind doesn’t come to rest unless and until it is assured of total security. Therefore we need Brahm, something that is indestructible.
