Overcoming Sorrow With A Tranquil Mind

Little do we realize that the root cause for suffering isn't the problem or the challenge. It is the inability to deal with the problem in hand. It is in view of this fundamental understanding that we examine the impact a tranquil mind has on life. So what is a tranquil mind? How is a state of tranquillity defined? What are the characteristics of a tranquil mind? These are questions in the mind of every human being.

Let us answer these questions and look at the evident relationship between surmounting problems and a tranquil mind. Whenever a problem is encountered in life, as humans, it is only natural that we react without reason and wisdom at most times. Our minds are clouded and our ability to make sound judgements is marred.

However, if we approach a situation with a calm and tranquil mind, the crucial element of wisdom springs up. A tranquil mind calls forth wisdom and courage from the depths of our life force and thereby allows for taking a more effective route in tackling life's innumerable situations.

As mentioned by various philosophers, achieving a tranquil mind is possible through strong meditation. Meditation guarantees a state of serenity and tranquillity, allowing the human mind to realize the substantial beauty of life.
