Calmness Leads to Right Actions
When you are freed from ego feelings and emotions, you become spiritually sensitive. You have the feelings and emotions, but you are not touched by them. The world that you see is not the ultimate reality or goal. You are a spiritual being and not limited to the mind, body or physical world. You are centered in the calm nature of the soul.
By not having the right kind of discipline we make our lives miserable. We acquire bad habits that prevent us from being our true selves. But good habits are friends that help us. In the same family and community, we find one tolerating everything with calmness and another who is always boiling with anger, jealousy and other disturbing emotions. Which is better? If God got impatient, think of what would happen to this world. God is beyond feelings. He is never restless though He knows what is happening. So should we be, ever calm in our soul, in spite of any turmoil around us and in our lives.
To have calm feelings and emotions doesn’t mean that we are always smiling and agreeing with everyone no matter what they say. That cannot be called control of feelings. Whoever has control of his feelings and emotions follows the truth. He knows when to speak and when to be silent, but he never compromises his own ideals and inner peace. Such a man is a force for great good and peace in the world.
