Taking Control Of Your Life

Because ignorance doesn't allow our human sensibilities to develop or express themselves fully or properly, it creates a prison-like situation. In this conditioned world of samsara, why can we not express our real truth and potential completely? It's because we're unable to control our bodies, our speech, or our minds. Understanding this, we begin to see what the suffering of samsara is really about.

Since you have this precious human life, you must have some control over it. If you decide, for example, that you'd really like not to harm others physically, it should be possible not to do so.

There should be no obstacle to physically expressing flexibility and kindness. And there should be no real obstacle to kindness arising in your speech. You should be able to use your speech properly, with discipline, in a way that truly benefits others. And, if you're generating thoughts in your mind, you need to have some control over your mind.

Having control over your body, speech, and mind is like being a skillful rider. You can go where you want to go; the horse goes in the direction that you want to go in. And unskilled rider trying to ride a wild horse eventually ends up wherever the horse wants to go. in the same way, you may find your body going in one direction, your speech in another - and the rest of your sensibilities not waking up until quite a bit later, if then.

The whole framework of the Buddhist path - the various levels and practices and forms for sitting, standing, thinking, and behaving - is a support for learning to work with our mental concepts and developing the ability to maintain awareness. And from a Buddhist point of view, training the mind through meditation is essential.
