There is a happiness that comes from what's happening on the external level, and there is another happiness that comes from a feeling that comes from the place inside ourselves, and it only comes when there is simplicity in our life.
Where is that contentment?
It already exists within us. We may spend thousands of pounds trying to alter our behaviour, and yet it is so easy. Be content and our behaviour automatically alters. Outlook? Positive..
Peacepool workshops
What is peace? Where does the desire for peace come from? Was it somebody who sat down one day at their dining room table and said, “Good idea to have peace in this world.” Or, is peace innate, and the desire for peace innate to every single human being on the face of this earth? This question is the pivotal question.
This question brings up a fascinating range of ideas and opinions those who attend our interactive workshops leave feeling much clearer about how it is possible for them to feel contentment in their own lives.
Hi,
Sometimes people make things so complicated, especially this subject inner contentment. Maybe the common theory is the more effort, better the rewards. I just wanted to say in my experience this is completely the opposite; feeling peace in my life is the most natural, comfortable and effortless feelings that I have ever felt. To be given a tool to access my own source of happiness has changed my perception of myself and also of those around me. Thanks for making these events available and long may they continue.

Prem Rawat, widely known as Maharaji, offers a way to discover peace within — four practical techniques which enable anyone to turn their attention inside in order to experience the feeling that resides there. He calls these techniques Knowledge: the know-how to go within.

It all begins with personal peace — not world peace.
It begins with personal peace: peace within you.
Is there one? Yes.
Then the question is: What does it feel like?
And this question can only be answered with a question. Have you never felt it?
Because if you haven’t, you should feel it.
Here we are in this moment
The unfolding of the same power that unfolds the universe is what just came and touched us, bringing us this gift of life. Bringing us every day, every moment, every star. This is a miracle. Every baby that is born is a miracle. We do not understand that, and that’s why we suffer. Having everything, we think we have nothing. Burdened by our problems, we hobble through life.
Yet how beautiful it is in this moment. We cannot go back to yesterday, however hard we try. And no matter how much we try, we cannot go to tomorrow. that is supreme wisdom. Here we are in this moment, and here, everything is wonderful.
Young people want to live in the future. Older people want to live in the past. Nobody wants to live in the present. And where has joy placed itself? Where has understanding placed itself? In the present.
So if we ever wonder why it is so hard to have understanding about life, maybe the answer is: We don’t live where it lives. We have gotten used to confusion, and it’s not nice.
What can we do? Learn how to live in today. And what is today? Another chance that has been given us to fully feel what it feels like to be alive. Amazing. And this is what life is all about.
Touched by the Magic
You know, as human beings, there is a lot that is good. But there are certain habits we have that are not so good. And one of the bad habits we have is that we are so attracted to distractions. Any minor little distraction somewhere, and that’s where our attention goes.
Why is that a bad habit? Because it robs us of the essential things we need to make this life a beautiful occasion. And this is the possibility. This is what you can do—you can make this one lifetime the most incredible time. How?
You are in this world; you exist. One day you weren’t here; today you are; and one day you will die. I can guarantee you that you don’t understand what that means—because of the distractions. When the time comes that you lose the capacity to be distracted—and such a time does come—then and only then will you begin to understand what life is about.
How do I know this? Have I reached that time in my life where I’m not distracted? No. But I also know that there was somebody who was kind enough to show me. Because when I get caught up in my own tune, in my own definition of what life is, I become careless.
I am here to tell you what I have been telling people all my life: Don’t let another day go by without being touched by the magic of what has been placed inside of you. Don’t let another day go by that is filled with doubt, anger, and confusion. Don’t let another day go by without feeling the fulfillment of this heart. It is possible to be fulfilled in this life. It is possible to be in peace. It is possible to be conscious. It is very, very possible. Prem Rawat
