Work, family, entertainment, sports—perhaps all of these are forms of intoxication that pull us away from ourselves.
I often struggle to simply be at home with myself. But why should that be difficult?
In theory, I could just sit, observe my thoughts, and tune into the signals from my mind and consciousness—to truly witness my own nature.
And yet, the mind resists.
It craves stimulation, distraction, movement. Silence bores it. Stillness threatens it.
Maybe the mind fears what I might hear if I truly listened.
Maybe it knows that real transformation begins when I come too close to my inner self.
