Can a person buy peace?

Many times one has to give up worldly attachments for real peace of mind and real satisfaction of mind.  Omen is not something available in the market which we can buy.  Through Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, he not only solved all the doubts and problems of Arjun, but also showed the human being the right direction to live life.  The teachings given by Lord Krishna to Arjun during the Mahabharata war still serve as life management for the entire people.  In its 18 chapters you will find the solution to all your problems and the way to fulfill your wishes.  Whether the problem is mental, social or practical, in Geeta Krishna teaches Arjun that the events of birth and death are nothing more than the soul shedding its old clothes and wearing new clothes.  Since the soul is the only eternal element in the world, whatever we acquire is stored with us only due to external reasons and can also be taken away from us due to other external reasons.  Geeta tells us the causes of suffering and shows us the direction to get rid of them.

What is the cause of suffering in the world?

If we look at the Bhagavad Gita, we find that the main reason for the suffering in the world is our ignorance about the nature of the soul.  We become afraid at the thought of the death of our relatives.  Whatever we have earned or received, even the doubt of loss of it never allows our consciousness to be completely free. There is suffering in the world, this is the noble truth according to Buddhist philosophy.  The second noble truth will also be the cause of suffering.  Third, if there is a reason for sadness, it will also be resolved.  The fourth noble truth is that if there is a solution to suffering then there is definitely a way to end it.  But according to Buddhist philosophy, one’s suffering will be resolved through one’s own diligence and hard work.  But the incompatibility between suffering and divine existence appears inevitable.  The concepts of him being omnipotent, omniscient and compassionate are inherent in the concept of God itself.  If this is so then he cannot be unaware of our sufferings.  But despite having knowledge, it is impossible for him not to solve them.  When God has the solution to solve human suffering, then why is life so painful in this world?  Worldly suffering is not due to God but due to our own ignorance and ignorance.  And its solution also lies in developing virtues in ourselves through our own hard work.

How should a man’s actions be?

It is mentioned in Geeta that according to Shri Krishna, love is the basis of human life.  Only the person who has love in his life can find peace in life because peace lies in love only.  It is said that if there is no love in life, even if a person achieves everything, he still does not get satisfaction. According to Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, the main reason for the problems in any person’s life is wrong thinking.  It has been described in Geeta that wrong thinking is considered to be the single biggest problem in life.  And correct knowledge is considered to be the only solution to all the difficulties of every person.  In this context, Shri Krishna says that a person should not always trust his mind because it deceives man again and again.  Therefore, apart from the mind, a person should always remain focused on his work.  This is the ultimate duty of everyone.  The downfall of a person whose mind harbors too much ego, jealousy and hatred is certain.  It is said in Geeta that all these instincts stick to the human being like termites and gradually make the human being hollow from within. It is said that the intellect is beyond the senses, the mind is beyond the intellect and consciousness is superior to the mind i.e.  There is soul.  According to Geeta, no work can be done without soul.  Therefore the soul is considered a participant in every action.  Therefore the deeds should be kept high.

Do desires cause suffering?

Shri Krishna has said in Geeta that human body is the field where war takes place.  There are two armies in it, one Pandava i.e. virtuous and one Kaurava i.e. sinful.  Therefore, man always remains entangled between the two and is never able to achieve peace in life.  The greatest sorrow of human life occurs when he has no desire to live.  Desire leads to sorrow and truth leads to happiness.  No one understands or follows this.  This is the biggest sorrow.  Desire and ignorance are the roots of suffering.  Desire refers to the longing for pleasure, material goods, and immortality, all of which are desires that can never be satisfied. As a result, desiring them can only bring suffering.  If a person wants peace in life then it is not something that can be bought.  A person can achieve peace in his life by reducing his cravings.  Excess of anything destroys our peace.  Like the desire to earn a lot of money, like the desire to get a lot of respect and prestige, like the desire to desire all the material resources of the world, all this becomes the cause of our sorrow.  And if all these are not fulfilled by ourselves, we become deeply disappointed.  This disappointment is the cause of our sorrows.  Therefore, a person should be satisfied with whatever he gets.  No matter how hard a person tries, he can never achieve more than luck.  So stay satisfied and be happy.
