Chaos and Pain

A Master knows the difference between what is inside of her and what is outside of her. Chaos and pain emerge when we pursue what is inside ourselves, in the outside world. When we look for ourselves outside of who we are, it creates and endless chase. Breakdown and failure are simply ways that Life has of telling you to stop your external pursuit and find the life within you. What is outside of ourselves can perish and change; what is inside is eternal and incorruptible. Following an outside trail can lead to trouble. Following an inside trail can lead to excellent quality, excellent experience. Both roads can be difficult. It may appear they lead to different outcomes... with one being better than the other. With utside pursuit leading to loss of self and pain, yet providing us with constant direction to the inside through that pain. Both roads lead to the same outcome.
