It may be a bit difficult to grasp at first, but once you get it, it really is a step towards being free and happy.
Free Mind
A free
mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Most people
spend much of their time looking for reasons to be offended.
An open mind is
never offended because it is free of any attachments. It is never the self that
is offended but always the illusion that the self has of itself that is affected
by insult!
If you can really understand this, deeply grasp it's truth, live it
each day, then pain will be no more. Next time you 'feel' offended look closely
within yourself at yourself and ask yourself what was offended?
If you remain
aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself which you had become
attached to, and that image did not resonate with the image contained in the
insult.
If you weren't attached, if you didn't identify with the wrong image of
yourself then there would be no offense taken. You would then remain free and
therefore happy.
