They say there is nothing more stable on the earth than mountains. Only when a human’s base is as stable as a mountain, he does things as he wants to do. Happiness in life comes only when there is complete stability in it. Otherwise, too much happiness can drive a person completely mad. That’s why a lot of people who are a little creative, a little active, and fun-loving end up being unusually stable.
Because, without stability, we can find happiness in our lives. This is why stability means both happiness and peace. People seek to stabilize their lives by controlling, reducing, or curtailing them. This is the way of our ancestors, who always told us, "Take control of yourself. Only then will you find stability." But are you sure that’s how you get stability? For me, I would not say you’re going to gain stability with just this. But stillness is where you can see everything with complete clarity.

Of course, if you die, you will be stable (sorry for saying this, but I can say this for sure). So those who talk about such stability, their existence ignored. We consider that they are leading a life possessed. Do you know what stability means? It means that it comes little by little, in phases, as you understand it. Similarly, happiness, love, and ecstasy, little by little, are found here and there in people’s lives. Stability isn’t that you’ve made your life still or that you’ve become stagnant. Nothing is to be gained from such stability, but you have to see beyond what you can see with your open eyes.
I know that living in the mountains is a wonderful experience. I have spent some time in the mountains, because there are mountains all around where I live, and I believe that in the mountains, in the lap of nature, I feel the burden on my heart get reduced. But it is not a permanent solution to stability in life. Stability comes when you see everything clearly.
That is why there is a mention of "stability". Because along with stability, we also talk about gaiety. So it’s about looking at a wider canvas. We will need to open our third eye. The people that understood stability had more than two eyes, which meant that they could see much more than ordinary people. Since they could see more than ordinary people, they could understand stability more than others.
Believe me, if you see only one part of things, you cannot standstill. So the whole effort is to see better. We call it "the philosophy of life." It means seeing life from a different perspective. Our whole culture is based on this philosophy. You do not go to religious places to make any application, but to gain peace in your life so that you can see life from a different angle.
Basically, if people are not able to see the things in front of them, then it is only because they haven’t identified themselves from a wider perception. This identity starts with the body, then many more things are added to it later on. As soon as you identify with something, your whole mind understands that it needs to be protected, and then it works solely to protect it. Identification with the body is the root of every identity, so let’s stay pure to stay still.
Now you will ask, "So how do I eliminate my identity with my religion, or where I live, in which part of the world I live?" I don't think this is important where you live or what religion you believe in. If you remove your identity from your country or religion, then the rest of your identity disappears automatically.
Do you know that some of us feel, our identity begins with our own body and the rest of our identity grows up automatically? They feel that once you know your own body, this recognition grows rapidly. The more success you find in whatever you are doing, the faster this recognition deepens. That's the point here. As this body recognition theory grows, your vision becomes narrow. The drama going on in your mind goes to a higher level and does not allow you to see anything beyond your own self. Your own thoughts and feelings keep you limited to yourself.
Sadly, this world is constantly making people think that whatever is going on in their minds is very important. Whereas I say that whatever is going on in your mind is only a step towards stability. You should only have good thoughts in your mind, so get rid of whatever is preventing you from reaching the stage of stability.
