One day a man came to Swami and said, “Swami, I come to this village specially to meet you. I have given up everything but I still cannot find peace. My mind wanders（神志恍惚） and I am not able to focus on my work. I went to many masters but didn’t get any solutions（解决办法） for this.”
Swami looked at the man and said,“Do you really want peace in life?” The man replied sadly,“Yes.”
Swami smiled and said, “Well, I have a suggestion for you and you have to do it without any thought.”
The man agreed. Swami said,“When you find someone is hungry, give him food. If you see someone thirsty, give him water. If you find someone in need of clothes, give him clothes. If you see someone sick, give him medicine. If you see someone troubled, comfort him. By doing these, you will get happiness. It will give you peace. It is the easiest and simplest way to find peace in life.”
The man found it strange to do so at first but as promised to Swami, he did all these things without any thought. But after doing this, day after day, he finally found peace in his life. Looking back, he finally realized what peace is.
