~The suggested answer: What I really want, above all else, is happiness through peace of mind, in daily living, independent of circumstances.~ [[Roger Castillo]] Ya but! Was my first response, isn't it selfish? What about saving the world, becoming a better person, having more money and security, pleasing God with good deeds... Peace of mind is at the core, without it we only react but don't respond. “All actions are wrought in all cases by the qualities of Nature only. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks: ‘I am the doer’.” ~ [[Bhagavad Gita]], III.27 :: "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." [[God]], [Luke 13:24](https://biblehub.com/luke/13-24.htm) Peace of mind is the door; without peace we are easily distracted, confused, rushed and exhausted. As peace we are in the flow, not separated. [[Suffering versus pain and pleasure]] [[Rest without being lazy]]
