How to fill the soul?

It's no secret that for everyone above everything elseown calmness and happiness. But how can we be calm and happy, if every now and then, often without knowing it, sow misery and sorrow. Let us reflect on the topic of filling the soul with love and happiness, with joy and, most importantly, with tranquility, because only a truly calm person can become happy and make others happy.

Being happy is real.

First of all, look inside yourself. This phrase may seem trivial or meaningless, but it all depends on how to understand it. And you can understand it like this: with the help of a tool that is available to everyone - our mind - we need to reflect on what we live and how we do. And the best remedy for this is thoughtful meditation. I do not mean that you need to sit on the rug, close your eyes and relax. I mean, you have to be careful all the time. It occurred to you some desire - explore it. Where did it come from? What will its implementation bring to you? In general: where do the thoughts come from? As soon as it becomes clear that thought is just a thought, it will become much easier to live. I know that many suffer from their own alleged imperfection, from the fact that they are visited, as they think, by sinful thoughts. But thought can not be sinful, only actions can be sinful, that is, realized thoughts.

Do with an undivided heart

And here on the implementation of thoughts and need to payattention first of all. A selfish person does not think at all about what will bring about the realization of his desire to others. And he, like no other, begins to suffer from the fact that someone, in turn, harmed him. Desire what others want, and you will make yourself truly happy. Another way will doom you to suffer. If your desires are in harmony with the world or at least do not harm anyone - this is a huge step towards how to fill the soul. But this is only the first step. Next, one must repeatedly reject selfish impulses and expectations, so that, in the words of one respected Hindu, "destroy the prison that you built around you in thoughtlessness." There is no other way, and the sooner you understand this, the faster you will achieve the desired goal. If you do something, you must do it with an undivided heart, without expecting something in return, as we do not expect anything from our children. And only this behavior sooner or later leads a person to achieve the highest happiness that is possible in this world.
