Busy?! Yes or No?
If Yes, what are the things you can’t find time for? If No, how do you spend your time?
If Yes and No, how do you differentiate? Take a piece of paper and write it down.

Life is about clarity. How do you receive clarity? Clarity can be received only through actions. Many, on the contrary, try to achieve it through thoughts without any possibility to substantiate it. Finding yourself in various situations, prepared and unprepared, is essential for receiving clarity. Situations throw feelings and emotions into the forefront of your conscious mind. This is where you apply your thoughts. Doing this has the possibility of breaking down the barriers created by your perceptions.

Is this clarity? It indeed is and not. How bright is the space around you when the sun is just rising? As the day progresses, the same space is brightened further. Clarity is similar to this relation between the sun and the earth. There is a vast space out there where the light of the sun cannot illuminate for there is nothing there to reflect the light upon. Your actions lead you to situations. These situations are the objects on which the light reflects upon.

Is that clear vision? It is not a clear vision as long as you bring your thoughts to break the image created by the clouds of perception. Also, remember that there are places where there are plenty of objects to reflect upon, but the light cannot enter. It rests upon you to open the doors and windows to let the light in. If you are not ready to break the mental imagery that clouds your consciousness, the sun and moon cannot take you to the peak.
