“The faster you’re moving the more you’re in fear. The more you’re in fear, the more you’re thinking about yourself. The more you’re thinking about yourself, the less compassion and kindness you have for others.” - Trader Joe's

Die Welt verstehen.

So sehr wir uns auch bemühen, es ist nicht immer möglich, die Welt zu verstehen. Dies kann eine Ursache für Frustration und Schmerz sein, bis wir erkennen, dass nicht alles vom rationalen Verstand erfasst werden kann.

Je mehr wir meditieren, desto mehr erkennen wir, dass, obwohl der Verstand sehr aktiv ist, unsere Denken ziemlich begrenzt ist.

Wenn wir versuchen, unseren denkenden Verstand, zu nutzen, um jedes kleine Rätsel im Leben zu lösen, neigt unser Geist dazu, die Unruhe im Verstand zu erhöhen und unser Gefühl der Verwirrung zu steigern anstatt uns ein größeres Gefühl des Friedens zu geben.

Es oft sehr schwer, die Welt von außen rational zu verstehen, daher ist es wichtig zu erkennen, dass unser unser Intellekt tatsächlich begrenzt ist.

Wir können nicht alles verstehen, was intern und extern geschieht, nur wenn wir das akzeptieren, können wir innerem Frieden erleben.

Das bedeutet nicht, dass wir nichts ändern können oder aufhören sollen Dinge ändern zu wollen, aber nur durch Akzeptanz erreichen wir die notwendige Ruhe und Klarheit, um dies auf eine geschickte Art und Weise zu tun.
