All the problems of my mind are within me

When you start observing your inner self through meditation, you begin to realize that your stress and mental suffering are caused by your own mind. 

You come to understand that there are the thoughts and emotions you carry are the root of your mental pain. And that this mental anguish can even harm your physical health.

The greatest enemy that needs to disappear is the thoughts and emotions you've created as a response to the experiences and relationships from your past. 

You realize that you are the one who created this mind.

However, people tend to believe that their mental suffering is due to others or to the conditions and circumstances they face.

As a result, they spend their lives blaming, longing for something, or resenting someone or something.

Let's take an example: 

There's a tree standing in the backyard. In spring, the tree blooms with fragrant and beautiful flowers. 

In autumn, the flowers turn into fruits and the fruits are quite tasty. 

And as fall progresses, the leaves that were once lush start to wither in preparation for winter and the tree sheds its leaves.

The owner of the tree must labor to clear away the fallen leaves that clutter the yard or roof.

The tree, for its part, simply lives out its life, season by season, doing what it naturally does. 

But what about the owner of the tree?
The owner created countless thoughts and emotions about the tree's flowers. The owner generates numerous thoughts and emotions about the fruit the tree produces. 

As they clean up the fallen leaves, the owner creates thoughts and feelings about the burden of the work and stores these in their body.

Every moment, the owner watches the tree and generates endless judgments about it, filling themselves with opinions and feelings.

Sometimes they feel affection and gratitude, other times annoyance and dislike, sometimes loneliness and solitude, and other times worry and dissatisfaction. 

At times, they feel hope and anticipation for the tree. 

The mind that the owner creates about the tree over time - whose responsibility is that?  Did the tree ever ask the owner to feel these things?

Yet, people tend to blame the tree for the emotions they have toward it. This is the nature of the human mind the mind that must be discarded.

The tree is simply doing what it needs to do, but people, with their own egotistical standards, judge and evaluate it.

This is human ego, selfishness that cares only about itself. 

So, stop blaming other people or circumstances you've encountered in your life. Stop blaming any condition or environment.

For those who begin meditation, it's time to take responsibility for the thoughts and emotions you've created. 

Blame the past version of yourself, the one who is the true cause of your suffering, and let it go.

When you realize that your mental happiness or unhappiness is the result of your own thoughts and emotions and when you discard them, they will surely disappear. 

The only person who can remove these thoughts and emotions is the one who created them - you. 

No one else can do this for you. 

Sharing your mind with others for a moment of comfort won't make those thoughts go away.

How long will you rely on others to understand your mind?
Please let it go. 

You are the master of your own mind. 

Only the master of the mind can discard it.

Meditation is simply a tool to help you let it go.
