Hinduism teaches that stable peace cannot be found in the outer world, which is made of Maya and ever-

changing. Any peace that you find there will be temporary, and may shift or vanish at any time. Real peace
is found within your consciousness, by experientially discovering that the conscious Atman or Self is at its
core non-different from Brahman, the stable, real, eternal, unchanging Sat-Chit-Anandam (Being-
Consciousness-Joy) that underlies all reality. In that experience lies the ultimate peace.
Such experience is gained through dedicated Sadhana or spiritual practices, best learned and practiced
under the guidance of a qualified Guru.

Hinduism exhibits deep respect for human life and promotes the virtues of compassion,
patience, and forbearance. The Bhagavad Gita urges self-control and the overcoming of
anger that leads to violence 

Non-existent, verily, this (world) was in the beginning. From that verily
was born existence. It made itself as the Self (of the existence). Therefore it
is called a virtuous act. Verily, that which is well made is the delight of
existence; for truly on obtaining the delight of existence one becomes
blissful. Peace arises from cultivating friendship with those who are happy,
compassion towards those who are in distress, joy towards those who are
virtuous, and sameness towards those who are not virtuous

According to Hinduism, happiness in human life arises mainly from one's own actions,
past life karma, actions of gods and others, and the grace of God. In Hindu scriptures we
find references to mainly three types of happiness as stated below.
1.Physical (bhautika) happiness, or sukham, which arises from comforts of life, sensual
enjoyment, and bodily pleasures.
2.Mental (manasika) happiness, or anandam, which arises from sense of fulfillment and
freedom from worries, afflictions, and anxieties.
3.Spiritual (adhyatmika) happiness, or atmanandam, which arises from freedom from
the cycle of births and deaths, and union with Self.

Eternal happiness through complete freedom

True enjoyment and happiness in life are not possible, unless it is
secured on a lasting basis. Like Buddhism, Hinduism also clearly
and emphatically recognizes the suffering that is inherent to
earthly life and traces its root cause to desire only. Beings are
unhappy because they are bound to impermanent things and
cannot easily escape from their attraction and aversion to them.
Because they are driven by their desire for impermanent things,
and pairs of opposites, their happiness upon earth remains
temporary and elusive. No one is free from suffering because of
impermanence, which manifests in our lives as loss, union, aging,
sickness, decay, death, and destruction.
