In the search for peace, many people make a fatal mistake: they try to run away. We imagine that if we can just escape the “noise” of the world, 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 you are trying to escape the responsibilities of a layman, a difficult relationship, or your own internal shadows like lust and hatred, the result is always the same—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 “enlightenment” based on data and dogmas 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 and stressed.
- A toxic presence: Your suppressed “madness” begins to seep out, affecting your reflection and your relationships.
- Internal destruction: You end up destroying your own spiritual life and the peace of those around you.
If you lock yourself up, you will never be free.
The Path of Radical Acceptance and Wisdom
The alternative to escape is not indulgence—it is Awareness. Instead of trying to eliminate your sensations, you must learn to see the “magic” and the rhythm within them.
- Accept yourself exactly as you are: Stop fighting your current state. You cannot transform what you refuse to acknowledge.
- Bring deep awareness into the “How”: Don’t ask why you feel a certain way; watch how the feeling forms. Watch how it takes hold of you.
- Understand the entrapment: When you see the mechanical nature of your reactions, they lose their power over you.
When wisdom arises, you realize that no feeling is a mistake. You stop seeing your emotions as enemies to be conquered 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 common fantasies. Everyone has an opinion, but no one has the power or the right to judge your unique existence.
- Stop building the walls: Do not contribute to the common social structures that demand you hide your true nature.
- Be authentically you: Your path is not a comparison. Break the walls of “shoulds” and “musts.”
- Trust your own heart: The rhythm of your heart is your only true compass.
Stand Strong in Your Truth
Do not fear being different. Do not fear your own darkness or your own light. When you live honestly and authentically, you no longer need to perform for an audience.
Stand up for the rhythm of your heart without fear. Always be a person with a strong spirit.
