| The outer world is the world of things and labels – in a way solid. The inner is about feelings.
Everything you possess, a car, a house, position, wealth and everything that you can attain belongs to the outer world. The inner dimension of life is about subtle feelings like peace, happiness, satisfaction, joy and love. Both the dimensions of life are necessary and inevitable. But the way to deal in both dimensions is different. Unfortunately we know only one of them.
When you want something in the outer world, the only way is to figure out what you exactly want, decide on how you can get it and than take necessary actions to get it. So in the outer world, you can have things, you can do something to get what you want, you can take action in the direction of your desired goal. This is the way we have been taught since childhood – come on, be active, do something, get going, act, hit the target – these are the words and phrases that we are told more than anything else while we grow up. You want a job, a car, a house, money, a promotion, growth in business, fix that electric fuse or get a favor from someone, go out, do something about it. It is wise that when you want something, go out and act, do something about it and you will have it, you will possess it, but only as far as it is something in the outer world. |
