Happiness Cannot Be Attained Outside

A woman shares that an angry and cynical part of her mind arises during meditation, doubting that anything will work because she feels burnt out. Rupert acknowledges this, noting that relationships, activities, substances and even spiritual practices lead to disappointment, including the final disappointment in the spiritual teacher. He explains that all efforts, even towards a teacher, fail because happiness cannot be attained outside. He invites her to stop seeking and return to her being, experiencing its inherent peace and completeness.
