In life, it is needless to say that you can’t control all the variety of situations as you wish.

Living with Limitations

If you want to control all these situations, the only possible way is to limit for certain time, place and conditions. With these limitations, you may be able to control it. You may think that you limited the scope of these situations so that these are under your control.

But the reality is that you limited yourself and your life with these limitations.

Prison of Fear

It means, you enclosed yourself in a certain area of time, place and some conditions. If you are out of these limitations, you may be out of your control and may face with “suffering of failure”. In other words, you trade off your scope of control with “living with the fear of suffering”.

The more you want the things to be happened according to the way you want, the more you will be in the “prison of fear”.

Realization

The realization always starts with simply seeing the things the way they are. Then, you will understand that “only knowing nature and unknowing nature are present in the world”, no matter whether these things are outside or inside of you. And, and will realize that these are correlated by “conditions”, not direct connection.

With this realization, you can be able to live your life with ease without limitations and fear.

It is quite obvious that you cannot control these two natures which are outside of you. What you can do only is to manage these two natures inside you. Once you can manage well to your body, your emotion, your thought, your energy and your consciousness, you will not lose yourself, no matter what happens outside. “Manage” is different from “Control”. “Control” always comes with the nature of greed and “Manage” comes with the nature of awareness.

Morality, Concentration and Wisdom

This managing power is needed to build up with your morality, concentration and wisdom.

Morality makes you strong and safe. Concentration makes you powerful and focus.

Wisdom makes you to be free from all sufferings and enjoy your life with full-fledged life.

Full-fledged Life

So, it is important to have the realizations of “things are happening according to the law of nature and not according to the way you want”, as a law.

This realization can break “the prison of fear”, which is built with greed, limitations and boundaries.

If you are the prisoner of “fear of suffering”, you are only half alive with loosing freedom and joy.

Only with “Wisdom”, which is “realizing the truth”, you can break “the prison of fear” and live a meaningful and full-fledged life with enjoyment and liberation.
