Sometimes we find ourselves in very difficult situations. Nothing around us interests us and we feel that life is just dragging. As for me, once there was a time I had seen light and was in a blissful state;where you neither feel happy nor unhappy. After a time I find that my soul searches for something,keeps doing so, and I am disinterested in life. This happens to me despite the fact that I have , though limited, have access to material comfort, I do have a middle-middle class life, have parents , a couple of sincere friends, sisters, relatives and known and unknown people to do good and smile at. Still why this unhappiness gnaws at my being every moment, whether I am in a crowd or I am alone. While we are with people, we feel a lift of spirit, but that is untrue and temporary, it is born of mind and connects to the mind only. And to be really happy we need a higher being with whom we can communicate because only the soul is imperishable, body and mind are untruths which will be destroyed, the day our soul leaves our body and moves elsewhere.
I recently read about how to be at peace. The advice is to drop trying to find peace. If ever we want or desire anything, we will not get it if we try or run after it. Because all the beautiful things in this world simply happen on their own. There is no effort. A flower blossoming, the moon shining, the river flowing, the rain falling, people falling in love, babies smiling. all these things happen on their own. Miracles can happen if we drop everything. The idea is beautiful, but I still will have to understand and assimilate it so that I can be in such a state.
Another theory is to meditate and visualize ourselves as divine beings and to purge our mind of all the negative thoughts. We should interact with with love and compassion all the time. Talking to others with love will take us to a higher level. I still don't know how to do it properly. But I want to do it because it makes others happy and creates positive vibes. On the whole the atmosphere is charged with love energy.
Should we forget some people because that's the only way we can make them happy, through non-interference. But even the slightest effort to forget is so painful?Why it hurts so much with some people that we lose interest in life though we know that attachment is foolishness as death is the immediate and ultimate truth of the world. Can forgetting and non-attachment can take us to a state of no joy-no happiness ? But is that a perfect state? Or should we behave like people who operate at the mind level and do just that what gives them happiness and convenience. Doing that also is a lot painful for people like me. People who suffer in this world are people who operate at the heart level. Because they listen to their heart ans can not listen to the mind.
This conflict of mind-heart and soul is never ending. People like me, who contemplate a lot also never find peace in life. They are always in search for that divine connection which can light a fire, will let the body pass through the mind and going beyond the heart, would become one soul with someone. Alas! We leave in a world where people speak of being practical and clever,so that they can live happily. I wish I could ever do that. But we are a foolish species, people like me, and their heart keeps crying without noise, and blood keeps dripping from their hearts unnoticeable.May be some day we will be able to drop everything and attain that detached, blissful state, where, instead of shunning people, we can spread love. It's still a long way.

I agree what you wrote. But everything never happen on its own. Waiting something to happen spontaneously is another foolishness. You are the maker of your world. Peace is there always but it is really important how you get it. Go on doing that interest you and that never harm other's interest, then you will feel peace.
