¡Primeros pasos hacia la paz! / First steps to inner peace!
Supongamos que a usted se le da a escoger entre dos formas de paz interna. Una lo mantendrÃa tranquilo cuando las cosas ocurrieran tal y como usted lo desea. La otra opción consiste en conservar su paz independientemente que los acontecimientos sucedan en la forma en que usted lo desea. ¿Cuál de las dos maneras de preservar su paz escogerÃa usted?
Suppose you are given a choice between two forms of inner peace. One would keep you calm when things happen the way your want. The other option is to keep your inner peace even though the things you want for your life occur in a different way as you planned them. Which of these two ways to preserve your inner peace would you choose?
Para sorpresa de muchos, la gran mayorÃa de las personas escogen la primera de las opciones, sin estar conscientes de que dicha selección es causa de su infelicidad, debido a que tienen ideas falsas de lo que lo harÃa felices. Piensan que tener amigos, pareja, dinero, riquezas, posesiones, entre otras cosas, los hará felices. Pero lamentablemente eso es falso. ¿Por qué? Debido a que están apoyando su felicidad en cosas externas, cuya existencia escapan a su control. Para su propio dolor piensan de manera errada que la felicidad llega cuando se obtiene lo que se quiere.
To the surprise of many, the vast majority of people choose the first of the options, without being aware that this selection is the cause of their unhappiness, since they have false ideas of what would make them happy. They think that having friends, a couple, money, wealth, possessions, among other things, will make them happy. But unfortunately that is false. Why? Because they are basing their happiness on external things, whose existence is beyond their control. For their own pain they mistakenly think that happiness comes when you get what you want.
Si usted ha escogido la segunda opción, usted está haciendo una elección más consciente. Lo que cualquier hombre o mujer desea verdaderamente es estar en paz; pero la sociedad en la que vivimos nos ha convencido o condicionado de que la felicidad radica en tener personas o cosas en lugar de ser. Entiéndase no hay nada de malo en que haya personas o bienes en nuestras vidas; de lo que se trata es de no depender de ellas, no depender de nada externo. No se identifique con estas personas o cosas, por qué ellas no le pertenecen. Éstas tienen una existencia independiente de su existencia y no hay manera alguna de saber a priori por cuánto tiempo permanecerán con usted.
If you have chosen the second option, you are making a more conscious choice. What any man or woman truly desires is to be at peace; but the society in which we live has convinced or conditioned us that happiness lies in having people or things instead of being at peace. Understand that there is nothing wrong with having those people or goods in your life; what it wrong about it is to depend on them or on anything external. Do not identify with them since they don’t belong to you. They have an existence independent of your existence and there is no way of knowing in advance how long they will remain with you.
Para recorrer este Sendero, es importante tener mucha discriminación cuando cada uno interpreta lo que aquà y en otras fuentes se le está diciendo. No se niega el valor y la existencia de las personas y de las cosas; tampoco se le está invitando a una vida de total egoÃsmo y para sà mismo, nada de eso. Ame siempre a sus seres queridos, disfrute de sus bienes y posesiones, pero no se apegue a ellos. Distinga bien entre los verdaderos deseos y lo falsos deseos si quiere tener paz en su vida. Recuerde que todo lo que ocurre en su vida y en la vida de cada ser humano, absolutamente todo sucede por la Voluntad del Uno para nuestro bien. Esfuércese por comprender esto, vÃvalo, empéñese en comprenderlo hasta que lo pueda experimentar en su vida. Esto es caminar en contra del mundo, en contra la manera del mundo, eso paulatinamente lo liberará de la infelicidad y el dolor. Pruebe y sabrá.
To walk this Path, it is important to have a lot of discrimination when each one interprets what is being said here and in other sources. The value and existence of people and things are not denied; either nobody is inviting you live a life of total selfishness and only for your own good. Always love your loved ones, enjoy your goods and possessions, but do not become attached to them. Distinguish well between true desires and false desires if you really want to have peace in your life. Remember that everything that happens in your life and in the life of every human being, absolutely everything happens by the Will of the One for our good. Try to understand this, live it, strive to capture it until you can experience it in your life. This is walking against the world, against the way of the world, that will gradually free you from unhappiness and pain. Try and you will know.
