It is easy to say that to have that inner peace all we need to do is to balance and be atop the yin and yang, the passive and active events and aspects of life, or some may put it as the ups and downs of life.
A few will be too sick of life and wants to run away. They just throw in the towel and say enough is enough. They give up and run away from life only to be caught in another ditch of yin and yang.
Then there are those who simply want to fight it out, want more of life but for everything they want, there will always be unable to get it in some way, or even if they do get it, what they get will fall short of what they expect and they even want more.
They suffer from the insubstantiality of life, all because they indulge more and more and want not less but ever more. To them more is not enough and half the time they cannot even get what they really want.
The logical approach is not to want nothing or to want more but to be at peace and do what we can without losing sleep over life. That is to be within yin and yang and harmonise with yin and yang without being tossed around. Then there will be peace.
This of course appears simple so long as we can see through life and be with life, not let go or cling on to more and more. The issue however is that the heart is willing but the flesh is weak.
On the one hand, there is the spiritual spark or light to be wise and to go for divine peace, but on the other hand, there is the unconscious die hard habit of holding on to the old ways and yet go for the new divine way.
In short, there is the clinging to the mundane or old way and also to cling on to the new realisation of the divine way. This too is overindulgence in disguise because such people want the best of both worlds.
As this world gets more materialistic, more consumed in the thrills and frills of modern life, men will ever more be consumed in the life that modern society can offer so much so the hype of wanting to be spiritual and wanting to have inner peace is just empty talk or at best remain an illusive rainbow for many.
This is simply because the heart is willing but the flesh is weak. This will ever more be and each successive generation of men and women will end up talking more and having less of the inner peace.
Many do find solace in spiritual but not beyond. Divine peace will be more elusive and ever remain more a pipe dream than a reality that men could have. This is all because, many men talk but do not walk the talk.
Their forefathers have less amenities and distractions than the modern men and the future men. Yin yang balance is not as simple as it seems as society progresses into the future.
Many seek the truth of ancient wisdom. The truth of how to have peace is simple that we may ask ourselves, how come we do not realise this earlier? How profound and simple it is?
But the crux of the issue is that it is difficult to have that peace because we want the trappings that modern society offer and have no energy or will left to go for the perception let alone the achievement of inner peace. So when will we have the resolve and wake up, stand up to walk the talk?
There is the urgency and the mission to help all to walk the talk. Thus this is the very reason and the very purpose for the descent of Lord Bo Tien to wake us up to the inner truth of life and to have the inner peace irrespective of our religious affiliation
