Unless I have correct appreciation or understanding of what is happening outwardly, I may not have that clarity inwardly. I must have clarity outwardly; I must know what is happening, not as a value judgment. Just look what is happening: they are murdering each other in war and conflict. These are facts which may be distorted by reporters, but something of that kind is going on. I am very clear on this, in the sense as far as one has read, been told, discussed – this is what is happening. So inwardly, if I am not very clear, there will be distortion. The outer clarity of events may help to see clearly inwardly. If I am muddled there, my muddle will also be inward.
