Miguel RuizWhen the need is in the mind, you cannot satisfy the need
About This Quote
In order to satisfy our needs, we have to have a need. When we have a sense of a need, we cannot satisfy it until we fulfill this need. It is impossible to satisfy the need before we have a need based on our mind. We can only be satisfied when we do something to satisfy the mind.
For instance, if you want to have a house, you need to build it first. If you want to have clothes, you need to buy them first. If you want to have money, you must earn it first.
