Inner peace comes from accepting what is from "summary" of Autobiography of a Yogi (Unabridged Edition) by Paramhansa Yogananda

In the journey of life, inner peace is a treasure that many seek but few truly find. It is a state of being that transcends the chaos and challenges of the external world. What is the secret to attaining such a profound sense of calm and contentment? The answer lies in a simple yet profound truth: inner peace comes from accepting what is. When we resist the natural flow of life, when we cling to our expectations and desires, we create a barrier to inner peace. It is only when we surrender to the present moment, when we let go of our need to control and manipulate, that we can truly find peace within ourselves. This acceptance is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is a sign of strength and wisdom. By accepting what is, we free ourselves from the burden of judgment and attachment. We no longer feel the need to label things as good or bad, right or wrong. Instead, we embrace the totality of existence, recognizing that every experience has its place in the grand tapestry of life. In this acceptance, we find a profound sense of liberation and freedom. When we resist the present moment, when we fight against reality, we create suffering for ourselves. It is only by accepting what is that we can find true peace and contentment. This acceptance does not mean that we become complacent or passive. Instead, it allows us to respond to life with grace and equanimity, no matter what challenges may come our way. In the practice of acceptance, we cultivate a deep sense of trust in the universe. We recognize that everything happens for a reason, that there is a divine order to the chaos of life. This trust allows us to let go of our fears and anxieties, knowing that we are held in the loving embrace of the universe.
  1. Inner peace is not something that can be achieved through external circumstances or achievements. It is a state of being that arises from within, from the depths of our own consciousness. By accepting what is, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities of the present moment, finding peace, joy, and fulfillment in every breath.
