Attaining Inner peace, Nirvana or salvation is not that simple and cannot be realized in the outer objective world. It should not be perceived as a final destination or an end by itself. Inner peace is always a work in progress even though we may think it is part of our innate nature.
There is a wall or barrier behind which we conceal something of ourselves hence we are incomplete. Reconnecting our mind with our heart is not easy; because of old ingrained or cultivated habits that forma hurdle we have to overcome. Similarly happiness is not a station one arrives at - it is a manner of sailing with the spirit of life.
The concept of a journey is a metaphor, but in real life there is no fixed destination for us to travel light with a profound sense of freedom. Each milestone is just a pit stop – graduation, career, marriage, being successful in a variety of goals and purposes.
The cyclic existences will continue when we live in the human realm; one does not attain inner peace by kneeling in holy devotion. The heart and the mind must reciprocate in a sort of spiritual quest – where we are constantly exploring and have to step beyond the mundane frame of life.
This has to be spontaneous because the intensity of the heart betrays the emotions of our minds and this is the illusion. The turning point will be when this intuition refines itself to a state of clairvoyance. The dead are merely those who have found inner peace in their final earthly destination enduring and meaningful
