peace of mind - "Has a King Ever Lived in Peace?"

By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

#930

Has a king ever lived in peace? He is afraid when he sleeps and afraid when he is awake. Throughout his life he is afraid. He does not have even two minutes of peace. His thought of wanting to conquer this kingdom and that kingdom makes him suffer day and night. When he wages war, many lives are murdered, and these deaths worry him. But even so, he will probably continue in order to satisfy his ego.

When a king rules his kingdom with the arrogance of ego, it becomes a fatal disease for him as well as for his subjects.

It makes no difference whether a man is a king or a beggar. Only if he has God’s qualities, actions, patience, tolerance, and equality will he have peace.
