Answer 2

You have rightly said that what you are looking for is 'internal' peace. So you see, it is actually inside you. You got to create it from within. Peace is perhaps evading you because you are seeking it in the wrong places. If you've lost your keys inside the house, you will never find them if you search for them outside the house. First, you should understand your real self. You should realise that your body and the soul are not one and the same. Once you do that, then you will know what your real self really reqires. Is it money? Is it wealth? Is it fame? I Is it sex? etc. You will notice that your real self does not really need any of these. (I'm not saying you should not attempt to acquire all those). Only thing, you should not become bonded to those. You get them, enjoy them. You dont get them, continue enjoying yourself. Learn the art of 'Let-go'. You hold on tight to anything, then that just evades you. You 'let-go' and it's all yours. Dont attempt to own anything - money, welath, loved ones, etc. - just let them all be there for you. Enjoy them, and they are at your disposal always. Try possessing them, and they will be lost for you and you will feel a deep sense of loss and thereby feel very sad and miserable. Well, there's a lot I could tell you on this. If you are feeling very lost and depressed, then keep in touch with me about how you feel and I'll see what best I could tell you to realise the truth of your real self and how peace is the true state in which you should be in.

Answer 3

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

'Desiderata', Max Ehrmann

Always have faith in God that whatever happens, it happens for good.
The best method to achieve internal peace is to start doing meditation early in the morning.
This will energise you to do work more effeciently, if possible do meditation for one hour in evening.
