Body, soul and mind is the reflection of Humankind. A perfect sink of these three together within reflects out a peaceful soul. Peace in self brings immense happiness. And by being in Harmony with self, one can welcome peace in life and all that good heart desires.
Harmony with self is about reaching excellence in everything we do and seeking the ideal in a balanced manner.
To achieve Harmony in self, one needs to follow the surroundings, which are never new to us but go unnoticed. Little attention to these details can help one to become the best version of ourselves. Fight the fear out. Fear is our worst enemy. So, we need to overcome it.
Harmony within Oneself (Self-Exploration) –
It is the process to find out what is valuable to me by investigating within myself. Self-Exploration is a process of discovering something innate, invariant and universal in all human beings.
We need to explore our fundamental values. To move one step closer to lead a self-exploration journey, we need to journal our thoughts. Journaling is a time to process emotions and internalize what’s happening in our lives.
When we start our journey of self-exploration, we strengthen our sense of purpose. Setting goals, vision and intentions are one of the most accessible paths towards self-exploration. One should often take calculated risks.
Self-introspection plays a vital role to create Harmony within oneself. If we are threatened with death or moving in one direction without thinking, at that time, only introspection will help us to create Harmony and give peace.
Every individual must participate in social service activities, whether one is in a village or a city. Our life will be sanctified only when you serve society.
Man service is service to God. Genuine service has twin benefits- it makes you happy and gives happiness to others. Offer service and receive the love of God.
Jane Austin rightly say-
“To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon the verdant green hills is the most perfect refreshment”.
Nature is an integral part of Human Beings. A human being is a component of heaven and earth or nature.
There is no doubt there are sufferings and misfortunes in our lives, but nature plays an important role; as soon as we think of nature, we forget our sorrows and enjoy as quickly as we visit beautiful streams.
The immortal drink which is pouring unto us from heaven’s brink in the form of nature. ‘Trees give peace to the souls of men’.

Sentient life is a life that is self–aware, having the capacity to view and see past, present and future, and reaching onto levels that transcend these concepts in the course of its development as an entity with consciousness.
Sentient life forms exhibit a capacity for increasing self-determination and self-emancipation. Insentient means are devoid of feeling or realization.
