Drop The "Yoke"

It seems that nowadays "peace" is something difficult to locate, to experience, to create. All around, you mainly see conflict, misunderstanding, fighting and quarreling. Although you are unable to practically do something to change the outside situation, you can at least try to change your inner state. When you feel stressed, depressed, agitated, nervous, you long for peace. So you try looking for it. But "finding" peace is not really feasible because you cannot look for peace. Why? Because it has never been lost or hidden, therefore it can’t be found. It exists, and it has always existed inside of you – as it is your “nature”.  The outside circumstances may try to show you the opposite, but you need to be aware of the truth. Your task is to admit the existence of peace inside of you, become aware of it, bring it to light, acknowledge it , accept it and... live it. Does this sound too easy... or too difficult? Actually, it is neither. You only need to examine yourself and find out what is preventing you from experiencing serenity. Once you drop the useless load of worries, conditioning and pre-conceived ideas that you keep carrying around (like a yoke around your neck) you’ll see how light and peaceful you can feel and "be".
