If, when meditating, you find yourself annoyed at the person next to you coughing, or the police sirens, or the ticking clock, or the voices outside – know this: they’re a mirror. Their noise is pointing a mindful finger at your own noise.
And that’s what’s really bothering you; the distance, in that moment, between you and your inner peace.
When truly resting in inner silence, any yackity yack out there is no big deal. It’s just… there. In your experience but not of it.
Moral of the post; everything and anything is a prompt to look inwards, if you let it. Fight it, blame it, try to change it, and you’re creating more ‘noise’ inside yourself. The more you cultivate inner peace, the more you’ll see it reflected back at you.
