The Sneaky Phenomenon of Distraction

Distraction is a powerful defense mechanism of the ego that keeps it alive by diverting attention from the truth. The ego creates various distractions, both big and small, to prevent individuals from turning inwards and discovering their true selves. These distractions encompass every aspect of life, including work, relationships, politics, religion, and technology. They are designed to keep individuals focused on external pursuits, preventing them from delving into existential truth and becoming conscious. Recognizing and being mindful of these distractions is crucial in the journey towards awakening.
