Today everyone is eager to read or listen to the news that comes to them from all corners of the world. They think that it is their mission to know everything that is happening, but does anyone make an attempt to hear what is coming from within them? An individual who cannot understand and recognise their own nature has not achieved anything. All that you learn by way of education is apparently only for eking out a living. This undesirable quality has become an illusion of our mind. The basis for this desire is your attachment and hatred. This attachment and hatred are commonly found in one who thinks that they are different from the environment around them. So long as one thinks that a particular car or house belongs to them, then there will be attachment to whatever they think belongs to them, and a dislike of things which they think does not belong to them.
