Inner peace is not something we ‘achieve’ or ‘develop.’

Inner peace is already Here and Now, beneath thoughts and emotions.

Just like the ocean beneath the waves.

When the time is right, the flower opens.

Nature does not hurry, everything is unfolding in grace and flow.

“The power of now can only be realized now. It requires no time and effort. Effort means you’re trying hard to get somewhere, and so you are not present, welcoming this moment as it is.”

— Eckhart Tolle

Truth is like water that flows into cracks, quietly, and crumbles even the biggest ‘rocks of ignorance’.

'Thoughts come and go.
Feelings come and go.
Find out what it is that remains.'

—Ramana Maharshi

Your mind is like the water of a pond. When undisturbed, it will be clear. But people will get into the pond and as a result the dirt from the bottom will float and make it dirty. But if you let it settle without any more disturbance, it will again become clear.

When you connect with nature, you connect with your true self. Or rather - nature reminds us and reflects us our true essence, beyond the struggles of the mind.

'In the same way that you need to stop talking to hear what others are saying, you need to stop thinking in order to find what life is all about.'

—Alan Watts

'Presence is needed to become aware of the beauty, the majesty, the sacredness of nature.'

Eckhart Tolle

There’s a common suggestion to ‘take back your power’.

When we realize our true nature, it becomes clear that our power has never been given away.

You can’t give away or take back something what you are.

Don’t be afraid of silence.

Silence is scary only for a noisy thought.

Your true nature is Silence.
