There is a verse that goes something like, Solitude is the resting place for the suffering soul.

We just want to be left on our own.

We don't have to worry about things.

And for mental solitude, what is called citta viveka.

Wisdom of the Masters

These are happening all the time.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

and they prevent us from having the peace and quiet of mental solitude.

Wisdom of the Masters

And there has been no spiritual solitude.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

We can carry them intelligently, with mindfulness and understanding.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

and then they are not heavy.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

The difference between the two is very important.

Wisdom of the Masters

When something is positive,

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

When something positive or negative enters the mind, then it leads to dukkha,

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

So both positive and negative cause life to bite its owner.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

If you're successful at practicing Vipassana, the inside aspect of meditation,

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

then you will be able to go beyond this problem.

Wisdom of the Masters

If one is successful in vipassana,

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

We can see that any place.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

So a lot of fear, worry and anger also comes.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

And so wherever there is clinging to the positive, there will also be clinging to the negative.

Wisdom of the Masters
Ajahn Buddhadฤsa Bhikkhu ~ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‹๐ข๐›๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ~ Theravada Forest Tradition

To whatever degree humanity attaches to the positive, that's how fast we are going to destroy the world.
