Making A Mountain Out Of A Mole Hill
Making a mountain out of a mole hill is an exaggerated belief that misinterprets the reality, thus making too much out of minor issues. This is how Mara (demonic mind) subtly works.
The great picture is ‘not two’ – non-duality.
The minor picture is the reminders of ‘me’ and an ‘object’ – duality.
That is where Mara slips in.
There are two approaches to understanding the essence of mind, which is pure consciousness. One is realising the great (Maha) picture, while the other becomes involved in the details (which is a lower vehicle).
The amateur approach is to talk about things, thus complicating everything by creating yet more minor issues.
The other approach is the skilful method of getting the job done smoothly by going with the flow. 🙂
