Heaven

Closer to Heaven

Some say that "True heaven is place on earth", it's very much true thing. When you have peace within your inner self, world seems like a heaven. For me the peace lies in simplicity. If we make our life simple then true peace is not far away. Above image depicts the lonely man sitting at the coast. He is looking at the sea and trying to ascertain the purpose of his life through his past actions. He is trapped between past and the future. Past scares the hell out of him and future seems very dull but he know deep down inside that he has been on the earth for some special and this thought make him feel alive. This thought has been alluring him for years and making his life miserable. 

The color of the clouds in the image defines the circumstances that life has brought him. But deep down inside him he knows that he is not far from achieving his calmness. This thought is what I call a way to attainment of peace. The man in the image is well aware that no matter how gloomy situation looks, if he has the peace he will be through. As he has been through many ups and downs of his life, he is relaxing at the thought of attaining inner peace. 

The sea ahead of him shows him the endless possibilities that future holds. Possibility of dreams is the thing that will fuel him for the years to come. And the sea tells him dream and dream because there are infinite potential in him. Whenever he would be down,the sea would remind  him of chances. If there would not be any hope then human life would be like river without water. To me the peace is simply knowing your inner self. The image aptly defines that, as the person is eager to know the his meaning of his life. In today's times, the basic problem with people is that they don't know what  they actually wanted to do. Only if they do know what they are built to do, peace will surely knock their door. Because what ceases the peace is the direction. Lets take it another way, if I were to say 2,4,6,8  and ask you to tell me next number then you will be comfortable, why, because you know what to expect, you are in peace. This example might sound odd but it precise to the fact that peace lies in realization. So to attain the highest level of peace one should go to serene place like the one in the image. And ask themselves the basic question of their life. And the moment they will do that they will come to know what was missing form their lives and how they fooled themselves into believing that materialistic things will give them peace of mind. And the amazement of  this discover is sure because in this chaotic world more than anything else we need peace in order to save our soul. So next time when you are alone try doing something like that and don't be surprised when you come across life altering answers.
