Everything is within

The world around you is constantly craving your attention.

They tell you that there are wonderful things out there, but the only way to see Beauty is to have eyes that can see it. 

They tell you that your problems and discomforts depend on the outside and that therefore someone is able to sell you as a solution, while in reality, you are the only creator of your discomfort and suffering. 

You have to understand experientially that you are the creator of your world. The moment you are able to experience an ascetic detachment from your surroundings, including the reactions of your mind-body, the external problems will not disappear, but you will see them for what they are, that is, as ripples on the surface, as opposed to the unaltered calm of the abyss that you contain.

Does that mean never getting angry or upset? Does that mean not caring about politics, about your surroundings or trying to interact with it? 

Absolutely not, but if you understand experientially what I mean, you will be able to do it with the lightness, determination and courage necessary because you know that inside you there is an immutable calm to which you can return.
