Acceptance of oneself is key to inner peace from "summary" of Stories from Tagore by Rabindranath Tagore
In one of the stories, a man named Gobind was troubled by his own thoughts and feelings. He could not find peace within himself because he was constantly comparing himself to others and feeling inadequate. He was always looking for validation and approval from external sources, which only added to his inner turmoil. Gobind's constant need for validation and approval was like a never-ending cycle that kept him from accepting himself as he was. He was always seeking perfection and trying to fit into society's expectations, but he failed to realize that true peace comes from within, not from external sources.
It was only when Gobind learned to accept himself completely, with all his flaws and imperfections, that he found inner peace. He realized that he didn't need to seek validation from others because true happiness comes from self-acceptance.
Once Gobind accepted himself for who he was, he no longer felt the need to compare himself to others or seek approval from external sources. He was able to let go of his insecurities and embrace his true self, which brought him a sense of peace and contentment that he had never experienced before.
The story of Gobind serves as a powerful reminder that true inner peace can only be found when one learns to accept oneself completely, with all their strengths and weaknesses. It is only through self-acceptance that one can truly find happiness and contentment in life.
