This World Is A Wind-Up Machine

It winds us up, and watches us go, just like a toy.

This world is a wind-up machine, irritating us at every opportunity. 🙂 When we’re wound-up, we become tense and stressed, as words cause friction.

To undo this wind-up mechanism, we have to loosen the spring—the mind. Our problem is that we are used to being up-tight and uncomfortable, and think it’s normal. This is why we meditate regularly, every day. We relax and unwind.

If we see in the right way, irritations become our teacher. Through meditation, we refuse to be wound-up, being nobody’s toy. Be warned: meditators can be irritating. 😀
