Whether we are talking, eating, listening, or whatever we are doing, the reason we are here in this world is to study ourselves. We study ourselves to find out how vast and uncomplicated our minds really are. We can only find this unbiased truth by our own direct experiences.
It is only human interaction that creates meaning to things. For example, our house may be precious to us, but this only comes from the value and memories we associate with it. As long as we remember that the meanings we attribute to objects are all subjective, we will avoid mistakes.
It is possible to be a gentle contemplative person right here in the middle of everything, utterly unaffected, thoroughly sustained and rewarded by your integral practices. Encouraging others, giving freely to all, awakening and purifying the world with all you do.
Practice undiscriminating virtue carefully and conscientiously, even doing a little good and getting rid of slight faults, will make you stronger. With persistence and working consistently, steadily, and accumulating strength will give you a better understanding of life.
