Sensitivity Through Meditation

Add as a preferred source on Google

You see, when you take in something with your mind, something that has been told to you from outside, you don't see its benefits clearly and deeply, although you understand it at the intellectual level. But when you experience something deeply yourself, it becomes your own understanding and so you stand by it without any problem.

The cigarette has merged with your Being. You have experienced it yourself. It is not through someone else's preaching; it is your own experience. So your heart accepts it.

But the happiness that you get by offering your seat to someone in the bus is something that you have not experienced deeply. You have been told by people that it is good to offer your seat to an elderly person in the bus, that's all. At the most, you will feel a certain satisfaction at having followed social etiquette, that's all. In the case of the cigarette, you have become the experience itself.
