When your contentment is pursued from the outside, it’s only a mask to keep you from knowing that your contentment can only come from within. Look within and you will never be without…
To be awake is to stop using things from the outside to provide contentment. This is very difficult to see because of the conditioning in place. Alcohol is something that is used by billions of people for contentment, but what if it wasn’t available what would be used? How about drugs, food, sex, working out, getting ahead in life and so on, these are all on the outside, but true contentment comes from within. So why do we constantly go outside to find inner contentment? Find this answer and you‘ll discover a peace never experienced before. Even the so called spiritual journey is on the outside. The ability to look within gives the feeling that you will never be without.
The only way this truth can be revealed is by developing a mind quiet enough that allows this truth to be seen from within. I talk to many people about this as they are smoking a cigarette or are in the grip of some other form of conditioned behavior; it’s just not seen how destructive their own behavior is. We can’t see our own unconsciousness because of the Conditioned Mind.
We are dependent on outside things to fill our inner discontentment. Truth revealed is ignorance removed. The world of outside contentment is a world of delusion. When you’re quiet enough to look inside and your discontented reaching subsides, it will be inner-stood how much you have been controlled by delusion. Probably for the first time you’ll be able to cut the strings that have been controlling you like a puppet on string. The bottom line is this, you will either control your reactions to life or they will be controlled for you by the discontentment of needing to reach for outside things…
