Calmness is perfectly achieved when life’s little wave becomes absorbed into the cosmic sea, in divine ecstasy. In daily life, too, we can achieve calmness to a degree by keeping our awareness focused on the reality of the Spirit underlying all outward circumstances.
Calmness comes with the determination to live ever happily in the present moment, relinquishing the past, and not worrying about the future, but placing our lives firmly in God’s hands, and knowing that He is fully in command. Calmness comes with non-attachment-with knowing that nothing in this world is truly ours.
Affirmation
Though the winds of difficulties howl around me, I stand forever calmly at the center of life’s storms.
Prayer
With Thee beside me, I know that the tides of trouble can never sweep me away. Hold fast my hand, Lord; never let me go!
