Usually our mind expects something from outside
-- our mind is ready to accept something from outside, but that is not true
understanding of our mind. According to our understanding, mind includes
everything. Nothing comes from outside. Our mind has everything, and when
you think something comes from outside it means your mind -- in your mind
something appears. In this way you accept things. If your mind is related to
some other things, that mind is small mind, limited mind.
