long as we identify with them and can associate the physical world with our mental / emotional imagination.  When we try to control the external world we are following a belief in the mind that ownership and control, or abandonment and rejection will bring the happiness we seek. But this is never going to happen. Until we can understand the mind and restructure our mental thinking so that we are free of longing and fear permanent joy and happiness will never be established. As long as the mind is restless and unstable with more than one point of view, neither mental, emotional nor physical peace will be possible. Meditation is the silent witnessing state of knowing the mind thoroughly. Every corner of the mind both negative and positive must be known and also the behavior and reaction of the opposites in thinking should be fully understood. Meditation is the way to realize and achieve knowledge of the mind.

Today we are living in isolation from each other and ourselves. The social evolution is incomplete and we are lacking self-discipline and willpower. When faced with obstacles we falter and try to avoid the difficulties. In our search for happiness we chase after sensual gratification. Our discontent and ill health is the result of a weak mind and our inability to endure the challenges of life. We lack awareness and focus our efforts in ways that are futile and ineffective. Very often we become complacent with a false sense of security and remain stuck with familiar habits and attitudes. There is often no vision for the future and our reason for living becomes confused.
