Return journey.

Wherever we go in the world,

Whoever we meet,

Some of the needs that human beings have are very similar.

Regardless of age,

Nationality,

Religion,

Profession,

Each human being desires to experience peace of mind,

Happiness,

The exchange of love and respect within relationships.

And this indicates that our true nature is peace.

We are naturally drawn towards that which we have experienced in the past.

Peace is the true nature of the human soul.

And when we move away from that experience,

Then we desire to return to that experience.

And hence,

The journey to peace is a return journey.

And since it is a return journey,

Therefore,

It is possible for each person to make this journey.

In today's modern world,

It has become normal to live in the world of doing and the world of having.

And by seeing other people also living in that world,

In that dimension of life,

This is what has become the norm.

However,

That which is normal is not necessarily that which is natural.

Normal is a word we use to describe what the majority does.

And when the majority starts doing something different,

We simply call it the new normal.

But that which is natural always stays within us.

That does not change.

What is natural to the human soul is peace.

And hence,

The deepest desire of the soul is to be at peace.

The return journey back to peace starts with myself taking a few moments to dwell upon the deepest and most important aspects of life,

To know myself,

To reflect upon the important questions,

Who am I?

Where am I going?

And so let us spend a few moments to explore the inner journey,

The return journey.
