I Have Made Peace With Everything!

Last week I had been on a spiritual retreat with my mom. It was a day long program where everything, from our refreshments to our well being, was taken care of. During the course, we were taught to be patient in all walks of life, and to accept the fact that not everyone is constructed with the same DNA, and we should let people be, and let go of things.

After the retreat, things seemed a tad difficult to manage. For example, there was this acquaintance of mine, who passed some lousy remarks on a photo of mine. I decided to overlook it. After that, he started randomly video calling, and when I didn’t receive his call, he posted on my wall that I was the most arrogant and rude person he had ever encountered in his life.

Well.

This was like a litmus test for me.
The impractical, kiddish part of me said that I should confront him right away stating reasons that he had no right to treat me that way.

Now, the refined part of me said that possibly I should just leave it like that. Really, if his nature was to abuse people in public, then would my rebuking really make a difference?

So, the refined part of me said,
Let’s make peace with it.
For health freaks like me, often there are days when you skip a run, and spend the rest of your day repenting and repeating to yourself as to how much you miss running! Spirituality says, MAKE PEACE WITH IT.

After living in Mumbai for such a long time, monsoons have kind of been a favourite season now. I no longer fret when it starts pouring the moment I leave the house, Feels like I have MADE PEACE WITH IT!

Maybe now when my peers, my colleagues or acquaintances would comment on my weight, and say something derogatory, I shall MAKE PEACE WITH THAT TOO.

What happens when do it?
Well, you gain clarity on your thoughts and you realise that things are not that difficult as you perceived. Remember, your job is to ensure that you don’t disturb your mental peace, and everything would soon follow suit.
