Calmness

Calming the mind and heart is the key to our spiritual practice especially in meditation. Many misconceive that calming down means stopping or not doing anything and everything. That is not so, because Calming one's mind and heart, means taking a step back and patiently be aware of whatever is happening in a situation.

Especially on the path of the Contemplative or Meditation, it is a path we will not be able to bear for long if we do not empower ourselves with Patience. For many a times when one encounters problems in practice, its solution can easily be discovered with the humble virtues of Patience and Calmness of mind and heart.

When one is able to Calm Down, take a step of Patience and sit back, then think with clarity, one will then realise that the situation which cannot be rushed with not speed up no matter how much you lament on it. While that which can be quickened, will move accordingly when the time is right.

Learn to Accept! Embrace! Realise! and Learn! That each problem is like adding another page in your inner book of Solutions! And that the very essence of the Spiritual path is not to BEND reality to one's will, but that one's will Harmonises in frequency with the ever-changing nature of all reality.
