Focus

Focus
When we identify with the body, as most of do, our focus is necessarily outwards. All our senses are designed to pick up signals from the outside world. When we are focused outward, we are limited in our perception and in our expression. Advanced technology cannot overcome this short coming. As a result we are unable to know what is going on in the mind and life of our friends (or enemies). We are also unable to convey to them what exactly is on our mind.
Then our wants remain unfulfilled and leave a dull pain inside. There is no external medication for this ailment. Over time it developes into various chronic conditions.
The only real solution is to turn inwards.
As soon as we turn inwards we get in touch with the core which is boundless, then we don't have to wish even. All that is needed just happens effortlessly, gracefully.
The experiences and pictures are stored in the memory. Just close your eyes (turn inwards) and they will flash on the mind screen in full glory.
There is no need to read learned books, attend discourses or practice difficult austerities.
Being in touch with the core is enough.
