When it comes to meditation and the true self, knowing yourself is part of connecting to your basic wisdom. And basic wisdom is the true cause of happiness, freedom, and all the good qualities within you. If you connect with basic wisdom, you will become happy and liberated; you\u2019ll develop love and compassion. You\u2019ll be successful, in both spiritual matters and in the material world of work and relationships.

So when a feeling of uncertainty comes up \u2014 which is actually a sign of basic wisdom at work \u2014 the habitual mind reacts with, \u201cUh-oh!

And in that gap, you don\u2019t feel bad, as you usually would. Or for example, imagine that, feeling bored, you heave a heavy sigh. In that moment of that exhale, your mind relaxes.
