Arun - Difference between bliss and pleasure?
Is peace a no mind state?
Me - Pleasure is a more physical sensation. Instinctual feel good. When the mind also perceives them as feel good sensations, one gets a blissful state of mind.
A lobotomy produces peace as a no mind state. Peace is the state evolved to when the mind auto-pilots your life, leaving one free from distractions, to do your own thing.
Arun - Can peace be defined as no regrets, no worries and no wants?
I'm just trying to understand the basic meaning of such heavy words.
Me - Peace evolves after one comes to tems with ones regrets, worries and wants. Knowing why they arose and how they made you what you are. Accepting they were meant to be, because of who you are.
That knowledge, understanding and acceptance is the basis for peace. As who you are becomes clear, what you can do and why redefines your wish frame to whats achievable. Do and so be you. At peace.
Arun - I think this is too morbid a definition of peace. It sounds more of being resigned to fate. No, I don't think that's what peace is because, once you have achieved peace, you should get a feeling of having got something and not that you have just compromised with the situation.
Me - "What is was meant to be" is not fate, but the life position one creates through the interactions of ones persona with life. If one achieves what one truly wants in the process - Peace.
Peace is achieved after one sheds the wants and desires that distract. That happens only when one is clear about what to expect from, and can give to life. Thats realisation, not compromise.
Peace is a worldly sensation before it becomes a spiritual pursuit. If you don't achieve the former, there's not much chance of being on track for the latter.
Arun - Yeah! a hungry man can't be spiritual.
