What’s truly a benefit in your life takes a very settled mind for it to been seen. Many of the tools developed that are considered beneficial are found that they actually aren’t a benefit…
It’s more important to develop practical tools that have actual benefits in their results than to spew out nonsense that just produces hot air. We all have certain theories, but if they don’t manifest in results that are beneficial they’re valueless. To know what is truly beneficial and adds value to life it has to be seen what is a true benefit, not just what’s thought to be a benefit.
At first the alcoholic thinks drinking is a benefit, but it turns against him. Same thing with the heroin addict, people who abuse pain medication, gamblers, food addicts, thrill seekers and the such. It’s not limited to only glaring addictions, it also applies to less subtle ones. Chocolate cake may seem like it’s a benefit because it brings pleasure, but what if you’re over weight or a diabetic, not much benefit for those people; sugar itself is not beneficial to anyone. Speeding may get you to your destination quicker, but it’s dangerous and not a true benefit; the list goes on and on.
The more practical things are kept in life, the more settled the mind stays and with a settled mind what is truly beneficial is clear. If one remains in a state where things are accepted as they are right now, the mind doesn’t come into play as much. But if you engage in the thought process of some past or future conditioning, the mischief begins as many non beneficial things will be a part of your life; no matter how little value they may truly have…
