How to differentiate between the Inner Being and Outer Being? πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ„

The outer being is all that is formed by and responds to the contact of the senses, the weather, appearances of life, the surge of desires for outer objects, attachments to the place of birth and physically connected relatives, habits picked up by the physical consciousness including manners and mannerisms, habitual reactions of sentiments and passions, dialect and even thoughts and feelings accepted mechanically from the social environment and conditioning etc.

The inner being is that which is open to and formed by the universal forces, the world of thoughts and ideas, deeper emotions, higher qualities, will to exceed the environment and master nature, faith, aspiration, higher seeking, etc.
