Someone once asked...

“Master, I understand all the truths, yet I still struggle when troubles come. Why is it easier to know than to act?”

Someone answered with kindness...

It is one thing to watch fire from a safe bank, quite another to walk through the flames. Reason is quiet, but emotions roar loud when difficulties arrive. Knowing is simple; letting go of inner cravings and fears takes long practice. Do not expect your mind to change overnight. Keep reminding yourself of the truth when hardship strikes. Gradually, you will walk the talk.
