Inner And Outer Life

Our outer life is knowing about things and people; it’s all very interesting and stimulating. 
Interesting: arousing curiosity; holding or catching the attention.

By holding on to fascinating facts, we limit complete understanding by being fixated. We may think that, if we repeat bits of interesting information, people will think we’re interesting. This is the vicious cycle of human conflict.

Our inner life is pure knowingness itself;
it’s not at all interesting.
Meditation is purely resting in cognisant emptiness.

We can never appreciate ultimate reality if we only value outer information. Once we understand, then our life and our karmic propensities become our vehicle that needs no polishing, and life is fulfilling.
