I understand from the teachings that to be awakened is to know all that happens inside of oneself. This is different to know everything that is happening around us externally.
To know everything externally is very helpful and implies awakening of course, but for the awakening knowing what is happening inside is crucial.
To that effect we have to know why we think and feel the things that we do. We have to know the origin of our thoughts and feelings. We have to understand their purpose for appearing in our interior like that.
We will see when we try to know and understand our thoughts and feelings our inner world will appear to be more mysterious and deeper that the outer world.
If we put that onus on ourselves to know everything that happens in our interior - we are not going to know everything just yet, but it will help us a lot to know more and that's what we want.
The more we know the better we can understand and the better we can relate to our life.
The better we can relate to our life the less time we waste and the more we can take advantage of our life for the work that really matters in life - which is to make our essence grow.
It is more difficult to know the why of the circumstances of our life but knowing ourselves deeply in those circumstances helps tremendously and really allows us to do the right thing by those circumstances for our inner work!
