How a Woman Living in the War-Torn Middle East Discovered a Lasting Peace within Herself
This the first in a series of first-person stories I will be posting here from people around the world whose lives have been positively impacted by practicing the techniques of Self-Knowledge as taught by Prem Rawat. These techniques enable a person to focus their attention on the source of peace within themselves.
The benefits, as you will note from the story below and the ones to follow in the weeks to come, are many: inner fulfillment, enjoyment, gratitude, personal peace, and a renewed appreciation for life. The following story was written by Bahaa Zahman, from Beirut, Lebanon
In these challenging times of turmoil and injustice plaguing the Middle East, where fear, depression, and sadness seem to engulf everyone around me, many people wonder why I remain untouched by such emotions.
The truth is, from a young age, I recognized the world’s illusions, lies, and unfairness, prompting me to seek genuine happiness and enduring peace, which seemed elusive in my reality.
After extensive exploration, I found solace in a place deep within myself, made known to me by Prem Rawat — a place impervious to the chaos of wars, bullets, or despair — a place where I feel happiness, joy, peace, and security.
