In all things there must be peace first and foremost. Consider each individual question only when you have peace in your heart. If you do not do so you will react only as your emotions dictate at the time and once this fact is recognised after the event it is too late. Be calm - in calmness you might see things clearly; with a stormy mind the vision is disturbed. Be quiet - when you are quiet, you might hear the smallest voice from within, which is otherwise lost in the noise of the storm of angry thoughts. Look to serenity - for it is never wrong. Whenever something troubles you lay it to one side - however difficult this might be - and though it may seem large on first inspection, by the time you return to it, it will be a great deal smaller.
In your mind there are few peaceful places but that which you seek. It is there and with determination and contemplation you will find it, this elusive part known as 'peace of mind'. Allow it to show itself - repress the bossiness of your mundane thoughts and feelings of every-day life so that it can show through. Allow yourself to live in that moment of true and complete peace. It is a high mountain from which you may see all things clearly. From this higher perspective you see what has happened and why it has occurred. You are able to see better the way through it or around it. The mountain that you find in that quiet time in your mind - the pinnacle for solving difficulties - is far greater than any mountain you may create of fears and worries - for those are not mountains at all. You shrink in the face of them so that a stone on your path becomes a boulder and in turn becomes the mountain that you feel certain that you cannot conquer. Raise your mind - and in your mind you will grow wings - to soar above any earthly dilemma and fly far above the things that you fear. On top of the mountain, where you have clear sight, the rocks in your path are but tiny specks anyway.
