'When spiritual teachings tell you - when all things around you seem insecure and ill at ease, just practice and don't comment. That's a great response, but not one I find easy to do. There is always a tendency to want to engage in the debate and the contention. And, as I have found to my cost, if you do respond from a place of fear and insecurity, that this will destabilise your inner world. All will become turbulent and murky. When anyone stomps around in a pond, all the sediment within it gets stirred up, and you can no longer see what lies at the bottom of it. - The same is true of the mind'.
