Until the moment we learn to quiet our minds and find comfort in the present, we remain reactionary beings, driven by the patterns imprinted in our minds from the very start. To uncover the root cause of your relationship struggles, you must grasp this simple truth: true happiness and mastery over the mind come from cultivating a state of relaxation. Relationships will inevitably stir up discomfort, pulling us away from that peaceful state, and we must find ways to return to it.
In the meantime, whether intentional or not, the more we possess, the more we may avoid hitting rock bottom and working on ourselves. Money, a double-edged sword, is both a blessing and a curse. When you truly understand its nature, you see it as a tool that amplifies your influence in society, yet it holds no significance in the natural world.
On the other side, when we struggle and fear economic insecurity, when we lack the means to thrive in the society we inhabit, fear takes hold. Hungry bellies and unsafe nights make it hard to focus, distracting us from the inner peace we seek.
