The moment we identify the huge open space available to be observed and analysed, implying in the understanding of its peculiar characteristics, it is the moment we understand why the duty of achieving peace of mind is ours alone, and how powerless we are from establishing any kind of control on the outside. Sometimes we use our strength, our power, our knowledge, and mainly our wisdom to decide how to deal with a challenge presented to us. As a consequence, we just realise that, in some specific situations, we have no need to hold our position but taking advantage of the negative energy coming into our direction. In that sense, the challenge transforms itself from an external and uncontrollable source of uncertainty, to a recognisable, addressable, and solvable moment of analysis and understanding of how to perform a further step into our own personal evolution.
Are you experiencing any kind of problem, or dealing with any challenge you find no way to be solved in the present moment? If you have answered yes to that question, I suggest you to think a little bit more; at least, twice. Buddha, the enlightened one, has provided us a wonderful teaching saying that no one is able to do anything to us without our own permission. That is the truth behind the scene of an observed period of suffering we work on during our mind training.
Any negative emotion we experience is generated from the inside out, no matter if its trigger gets influenced by any event happening on the outside. It reminds us to the specific point of power we have at hand, which has nothing to do with suppressing our emotions but understanding them to diminish their negative outcome. By working on such understanding, we are just achieving impemanent, and tiny moments of enlightenment every single time we master our emotions, which we may interpret as the secret that Buddha himself has never spoken about clearly, and directly through his teachings. It is clear as crystal, and it is bound to the impermanence of the universe itself. However, as we are too focused on the final results we would like to achieve, we forget the gold we are able to collect, while walking our own path towards a meaningful life.
There is no permanent state of enlightenment but the capability to achieve it consciously by our own efforts, in every situation we experience during our life path. While interpreting and incorporating the teachings obtained from the ancient knowledge, which are imprinted into our love nature, it is certain that everytime we master our emotions, it is a moment we feel what was behind the scene of Buddha's journey: peace of mind.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
