NEW DELHI-Prem Rawat was in Mumbai to appear at the author event of his book “Hear Yourself: How to find peace in a noisy world” for the Indian sub-continent, held at Tata Theater, National Centre for Performing Arts. This book unveiling event, organized by Harper Collins India in association with TimelessToday was attended by dignitaries, intellectuals, celebrities, and individuals from all walks of life.In his address to the audience Prem Rawat said that, people have tried so many things for a very long time but peace still remains an enigma. Peace is something to be found inside. He also said that being alive is not an ordinary thing. Human being is the union of the finite and the infinite. He explained that life is limited hence we need to enjoy every moment. It is the enjoyment and appreciation that we can carry when we are gone. As a human being we have more wisdom than we realize. We need to uncover the wisdom and the potential that we already have. To find peace, one needs to leave the world of believing and enter the world of knowing.Prem talked about the peace education programme running in prisons across the world and how it has changed the lives of inmates. He explained how the inmates have realized that instead of blaming others they have a choice to change themselves.When asked by the event hostess Mandira Bedi about the Hear Yourself book, Prem said that the book is not a tutorial, it is something to help one discover one’s own potential of understanding and appreciating life.While answering a question from a participant, he suggested that when things get tough, “go hear yourself”.At the end, when asked by RJ Archana about his mantra, he said, “I close my mouth; I close my mind and I open my heart”.The book was earlier released in the United States in September last year and immediately became the New York Times best-seller. The book is also available in several other languages including French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
