The entire way of life of a human being can change with a single perception. Insight into the working nature of ourselves mind by us will definitely bring revolution within. For this insight to happen, you must live with yourself by yourself happily. Unfortunately we can not stay alone with ourselves, if we are alone for sometime we will get bored, that means your mind is showing resistance to face itself as it is. In the present society it is dead easy to run away from you, the most benefited industry by this escape is entertainment industry; it may be media, movies, sports, drink, smoke, now a days internet…etc. But the question is why the mind is not interested to stay with itself? Is it because inwardly I don’t want to face the fact that my mind is shallow, dull, occupied with fear, confused however outwardly I am rich, more sophisticated but inward poverty I don’t want to face? One of the reason is present education system doesn’t teach a child the beauty of self learning. Doesn’t it give you extraordinary energy if you suddenly realized that you are always protecting yourself inwardly and it is causing immense suffering? To be unprotected intellect is real living; only the unprotected, innocent one is near to that which is eternal. The desire to move away from fact is sorrow, facing the fact and watching the fact with an innocent mind alters the fact which is happiness.
