How do you decode your inner peace?

Inner peace is decoded by satisfaction of the mind. If there is no satisfaction in the mind, there will be no peace, because one will always hanker for something to be had, or lament for something which is lost.

It’s a curious thing, that one of the austerities of the mind, listed by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, is satisfaction. We may wonder how is it an austerity of the mind to be satisfied, but if we think about it, it makes sense. As long as we hanker for sense-gratification, the mind will always want more and more. Thus to be satisfied with what one has, in any station of life, is an austerity. Krishna says: And satisfaction, simplicity, gravity, self-control and purification of one's existence are the austerities of the mind. —Bg 17.16 Srila Prabhupada explains: To make the mind austere is to detach it from sense gratification. It should be so trained that it can be always thinking of doing good for others. The best training for the mind is gravity in thought. One should not deviate from Krishna consciousness and must always avoid sense gratification. To purify one's nature is to become Krishna conscious. Satisfaction of the mind can be obtained only by taking the mind away from thoughts of sense enjoyment. The more we think of sense enjoyment, the more the mind becomes dissatisfied. In the present age we unnecessarily engage the mind in so many different ways for sense gratification, and so there is no possibility of the mind's becoming satisfied. The best course is to divert the mind to the Vedic literature, which is full of satisfying stories, as in the Puranas and the Mahabharata. One can take advantage of this knowledge and thus become purified. The mind should be devoid of duplicity, and one should think of the welfare of all. Silence means that one is always thinking of self-realization. The person in Krishna consciousness observes perfect silence in this sense. Control of the mind means detaching the mind from sense enjoyment. One should be straightforward in his dealings and thereby purify his existence. All these qualities together constitute austerity in mental activities.
