When there is no overt [outward] or subtle inner restlessness, it is indeed the state of internal peace. If the chit (inner component of knowledge and vision) concentrates on the external, inner peace breaks down. It is because of the external focus that this world has arisen.

About This Quote

The Zen master Shakyamuni Buddha said: “When there is no overt [outward] or subtle inner restlessness, it is indeed the state of internal peace. If the chit (inner component of knowledge and vision) concentrates on the external, inner peace breaks down. It is because of the external focus that this world has arisen.” In other words, when we concentrate on the exterior aspects of things, we lose our inner peace. The more we try to understand what is going on from the outside, the more we lose touch with our inner feelings and intuition.

When we want to know something about a person or a situation, we naturally look at them from the outside. We view their actions and body language. We determine their mood by their expression on their face and their tone of voice.

However you do not realize a person’s condition until you have experienced it for yourself.
