In the search for peace, many people make a fatal mistake: they try to run. We imagine that if we can just leave the “noise” of the world behind, we will find the silence of the soul. But in this existence, there is a fundamental law: Whatever you try to escape from will eventually control you.
Whether someone tries to escape the world by becoming a monk, leaving a marriage, or walking away from their children, the result is often the same. When we run from external situations to avoid internal feelings like lust, hatred, or attachment, we aren’t finding freedom—we are simply accumulating mental stress and fatigue.
The Toxicity of Suppression
Most people attempt to “purify” themselves by suppressing their natural feelings. They try to fit into a pre-defined mold of “holiness” based on data and concepts they’ve been fed.
But a soul under pressure is not a free soul. When you lock your feelings away, you don’t eliminate them; you drive them into the unconscious. Over time, this creates:
- An Unbalanced Spirit: You become rigid, stressed, and brittle.
- A Toxic Reflection: Your suppressed “madness” begins to seep out, making your presence false and unbalanced.
- Mutual Destruction: Eventually, this internal pressure destroys your own spiritual life and harms those around you.
If you lock yourself up, you will never be free.
The Path of Radical Awareness
The alternative to escape is not indulgence—it is Wisdom. Instead of trying to eliminate your sensations, you must learn to see the “magic” and the rhythm within them.
- Accept Yourself as You Are: Stop fighting your current state. Transformation cannot happen where there is denial.
- Bring Deep Awareness Inward: Don’t try to get rid of feelings. Instead, analyze them. Watch how they are formed. Observe how they attempt to control you.
- Understand the Mechanism: When you see the rhythm of how your sensations move, you naturally free yourself from the entrapment and fatigue of being their slave.
When wisdom arises, you realize that no feeling is a mistake. You stop seeing your emotions as enemies and start seeing them as energy to be understood.
Breaking the Walls of Social Norms
We often struggle to be “good,” “pure,” or “honest” according to the labels of society. But these are just collective fantasies. Everyone is lost in their own obsessions and philosophies.
- Stop Comparing: Your existence is unique. Do not measure your worth against the opinions of others.
- Break the Walls: Stop building the internal walls that society demands. Be uniquely natural and authentic to yourself.
- Trust Your Own Heart: Live honestly according to your heart’s rhythm, not to be seen by others, but to be true to yourself.
Stand Strong in Your Truth
No one has the power to judge you. No one is worthy of that role, and no one is allowed to do so. The only authority over your soul is your own consciousness.
Stand up for the rhythm of your heart without fear. Always be a person with a strong spirit.
