Getting out of the well

If in our daily life, we continue to sink and be carried away, to suffer, it is because of habit energy in us. Habit energy pushes us to do this, say that, think of this and think of that, and we lose our sovereignty. That is why we have to use our energy of mindfulness - going back to our breath and taking steps to cut through it. And we all can do that. The only question is - how much do you want to do that? Because you can get out of a situation very quickly and concentrate well. Concentration has the power to break through, and that leads to Insight. This insight can heal and help us let go of what is driving us.

Suppose you fall into a well 50 m deep and there's no one there to help you get out. You will now focus all your attention only on one thing - how to get out of the well. You have to use 100% of your concentration and your intelligence, in order to think, to conceive a way of getting out of the well. You cannot have the luxury to think about other things, past, future or any other projects. There is only one project worth considering: how to get out of the well. If you have suffered and want to get out, then you have to behave like that man in the well, and that is called concentration. If mindfulness and concentration are there, then insight will be there. With insight, you can break free.
