The nature of the world is neither pleasant nor unpleasant. It is what it is: without labels, without bias. It is how you relate to it from your past conditioning that makes the world appear in particular ways. Incidents have no meaning by themselves, unless meanings are superimposed through thoughts. And the same incident can cause entirely different thoughts in different people. This is because they???re projecting or superimposing their own mental baggage on the screen, then watching the scene through their own mental filters. When they do this, it distorts the picture of reality.
External situations are not the cause but rather a reflection of what you hold within. No incident or situation is a problem by itself; it becomes a problem because we are viewing it through the filters of our limiting beliefs. Experiences that we go through in life are just like mirages. If we have to see through the mirage, then we need to break through its very cause. The background that makes things appear frighteningneeds to be destroyed so that the truth can be seen clearly.
So, how can this be done? It is by learning the art of asking the right questions in various situations; questions that will lead you from the obvious to the deeper transcendental Truth. Such inquiry can break through illusions that appear in various circumstances, so that you can smile when faced with illusion, without getting deluded.
Once we learn the art of right questioning, we can apply it whenever we are caught up in an illusory maze.
