It is our duty to nurture the life within, protecting the precious gift we have received from the universe no matter the circumstances. The foundation of such protection is rested on top of knowledge, which can be acquired either by theoretical teachings or practical experiences. Sometimes we get in a situation where we are left alone, with no possibility of receiving help from anywhere, or anyone. In those moments, we need our consciousness the most, preventing the self from stepping into a period of suffering, continuing facing the presented challenges, and being awakened to the fact that we need generating positive energy from the inside out. The more positive energy we are able to generate, the more peace of mind we are able to cultivate, implying the stronger we become to walk our path towards a meaningful life.
We have to understand the unlimited power we have inside, which is manifest through the use of our consciousness while achieving higher levels of peace of mind. By acquiring such understanding, we can settle a solid foundation to believe what we can do by our own efforts. We should not be afraid of the unknown. We should not fear what is on the outside, surroundings ourselves in the environment we are inserted into. Our worst enemy is within, and such an enemy is our own suffering, as Buddha, the enlightened one, has already taught us.
By letting suffering kick in by the front door we open an entrance to all negative emotions associated with it. Fear, frustration, sadness, despair, anger, all causing different sensations to our body and mind, posing difficulties to the natural conscious and reasoning process of observing, analysing, and understanding the scene we are experiencing. We can deal with suffering and its negative consequences with no need to embrace it. We are stronger than we thought, we just need to understand what we have within.
The moment we realise how powerful a peaceful mind is, it is the moment we understand why such a state is essential to deal with suffering all along.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
