Today I awake, in the South of France, to a gloomy, grey overecast, cold, rainy day.
I moved here because I have am so affected by the weather. When the sun shines and the sky is blue, regardless of the temperature, I feel so alive and positive.
I realised this morning that we have an inner sun as well. We may even have the exact equivalent of our solar system or entire universe within.
When you become aware of the inner sun, by going beyond the clouds and veils of everyday thinking in meditation, its like being in an aircraft that is climbing through the clouds and out into the sunny blue skies.
When you are aware of the inner sun, the outer doesn't matter so much, or even at all.
I think the inner is the strongets by far. The difference is that you can do something about removing inner clouds immediately here and now - and forever if you wish?
