Peace of Mind (Santhi)

                          "Om santhi! Santhi! Santhi hi"      Is the closing  phrase  of each and every Veda Mantra.  What does this Santhi mean? Why , so much importance is given to this word  in every sacred scripture? Why  should one do need this Santhi?

Santi means Peace, peace means happyness. Santi comes to serene mind alone, serenity -to a Controlled mind alone. Controlled mind results from true Knowledge. True knowledge comes from dispassion and  non-egoistic attitude, and Meditation.
The same interpretation is said in this  sloka...........

                         "Vihayakaman yah sarvan pumamscharathi nispruhaha
                     Nirmamo nirahankaraha sa Santhi machirenadhi gacchathi.".....Sankhya yoga.

Detachment towards worldly things (like Mercury drop), devoid of the idea of ownership, takes anybody to the path of egofree mindset. This mindset makes him to attain peace.
Peace of mind alone can experience the happyness of worldly or spiritual happyness.

Gita never advises anybody to leave everything totally,; how can it be possible for anyone, to live saintly, while surrounded by so many distractions ? All worldly attractions are infact distractions only ,if given too much attachment. If, these sensual joys are restricted to the status of necessity , automatically one becomes detached with them,  being enjoyed. 
This  attitude, this mind set, brings calmness to the mind, and one experiences Peace of mind, ie. Santhi
                       
Not only a single person, even a country needs Santi. A country with serene atmosphere and
Law and peace can alone prosper.  Such a country is called a Peaceful country. People of
a Peaceful  country live happily.

How much worldly possessions may one acquire, happyness won't come without Santhi or 
peace of mind. The only solution to live with Santhi, is to grow oneself to a 
Self-disciplined person.

Peace is in Happyness.
Happyness  is in serene mind.
Serine mind rests in disciplined mind.
               Sarvejanassukhinobhavanthu.
                     May the world rest in Peace.
