Weekly Pearls of Wisdom Buddha and Stillness of Mind

 

 

And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah].

 Quran 2:45

Dear Readers,

A mind that never seems to switch off…. Buddha and his pearls of wisdom are priceless. Please find below our pearls of wisdom sent to us by Mansoor in Islamabad, Pakistan.  Turning off your mind and just being still is a very difficult thing to do. According to the Law of Attraction, you will receive whatever is predominantly on your mind.  If your mind is producing chaotic, non-random thoughts, then this is what you will attract in your life.  Even in the dream world, your predominate thoughts and worries will be reflected. I love what Buddha says about stillness of mind and our relationships. Calm mind leads to a Calm Body and Calm Lifestyle.

One way to achieve stillness of mind is through Tawakkul.

Tawakkul refers to putting your trust in Allah – to believe that He alone can ward off the harms of this world, provide you blessings and sustenance, and to ease your challenges. Tawakkul is also about accepting the results that He decides regardless of how they may turn out to be.

Allah , says:

And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever places his trust in Allah, Sufficient is He for him, for Allah will surely accomplish His Purpose: For verily, Allah has appointed for all things a due proportion.

Quran (Surah Talaq, 65:3)

Having Tawakkul seems difficult, but in reality it is a very natural and easy thing to do. When you manage to have tawakkul, you’ll feel relieved. strong and productive. We have the Ultimate Trustee to whom we can entrust our affairs and we can be 100% sure He’ll look after them in the best way possible for every single individual. He is Allah, Al-Wakeel. Work towards removing the clutter – the unnecessary thoughts, the worries and the fears, and trust me your life would look happier and brighter and you’ll find your relationships with your loved ones are improving as well.

 Buddha and Stillness of Mind

 

 

Once Buddha was traveling with a few of his followers.
While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake.”

 

The disciple walked up to the lake.

 

At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid.

 

 

The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?”

So he came back and told Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink.”

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.

The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy.

 

He returned and informed Buddha about the same.

 

After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

 

This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear.

 

 

So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

 

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, ” See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own, and you have clear water.”

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless.”

 

Having ‘Peace of Mind’ is not a strenuous job, it is an effortless process to keep your mind cool and have a great life ahead.

 

Never leave Your close ones.

If you find few faults in them just close Your eyes ‘n Remember the best time You spent together…

Because

Affection is More Important than Perfection!

Neither you can hug yourself…. nor you can cry on your own shoulder….

Life is all about living for one another, so live with those who love you the most…

Relations cannot be Understood by the Language of Money…
Because,
Some Investments Never Give Profit

But They Make us rich!

“Family, Friends & Colleagues are such Investments”
