No 202 of Living Life Series 1
Lord Bo Tien, like all heavenly saints, knows best that in modern days, men who are idle and who do not have routines will have up hill time to be at peace.
The idle mind breeds restlessness, mental ills and contempt of life. For most people, there must be cyclical routines and these, if ample and balanced, will be good for both mind and body.
Life must work on cycles and routines like the rest of nature. We need to be in synchrony with the cyclical attributes of yin and yang of nature and yet be atop the yin and yang. Only then can we have more abiding and lasting inner peace that is out of this world but yet ironically of the world.
Cyclical routines dominate life and nature. Those who want inner peace will need to adopt ample routines in life to rein in sloth and torpor (tardiness and sloppiness of mind and body). These are the barriers to sustainable inner peace.
To have inner peace, there is need to be at peace with nature within and without the person. This will foster harmony not just with nature but with others who will find the person ever so peaceful and pleasant.
