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.
