Is it hard to maintain peace? Why?

For a simple man, it is very hard to maintain peace because our own mind is a monkey, it jumps from thought to thought. Bombarding us with over fifty thousand thoughts a day, it steals our peace of mind. But for one who is on the quest for the truth, for the one who learns to tame the monkey mind, cuts its tail EY, that is ever yelling, every yearning and who makes the monkey in to a monk, he finds peace, he remains in a state of eternal happiness and everlasting peace because he becomes conscious that he is not the body, not the mind, he is the Divine Soul. This is the ultimate state to everlasting peace. But to start, slow down the pace of the mind, cut the Mental Thought Rate, the MTR, contemplate in silence, focus on a thought, tame the monkey, make it into a monk.
