Unstable mind seeks interaction with the world
Unstable mind seeks interaction with the world to make choices but does
not want to take the true advice of sAttvic buddhi which is nothing
other than the Self, and which is available in the peace of meditation.
Getting disturbed the mind seeks advice in the world of sense
perception, but the advice of God or Guru in the external world always
seems tough and harsh. Hence duhkham eva sarvam vivekinah: the wise see all experience as painful. It is rajas
that creates the sense world and the fruit of rajas is pain. Then when
that wisdom dawns, what seemed hard to exercise in the sense world, i.e.
restraint of the senses, is found to be the easier path. Taking advice
from inner Guru is easier than taking it from external Guru.
