You are on a dream vacation at a beach resort. After exhausting all your energy in water sports, you are sleeping soundly in your cottage. A sudden sound wakes you up. But it being waxing phase of moon, the night is so dark that you cannot see anything in your room. You try to move around in your room but stumble upon different pieces of furniture and your bags lying on floor. If feels as if things have come out on floor because wherever you go, something is there to hit you. At last you drop on a wall, and by chance there is the switchboard. You feel lucky to have pushed a switch that made the lights on in your room. Now you see everything clearly. While in darkness it took a couple of minutes and a few fumbles to reach the other end of room but with the lights on, you make it in a couple of second. The story might not be interesting, the insight is.

Can you see how important light is to live in this world, how it makes our life easier, how we can see things out there in the world in presence of light?

What light is for the outer world, awareness is for the inner world.

Just as you see things through light, you see your inner world through awareness. The more awareness you possess about what is going on within you, the better your life will be. In fact awareness is more important than any other skill in life. With awareness, you will be able to know the dynamics of your inner life, you will be able to monitor what you do and more importantly, you will know why you do what you do.
