What is Meant by Inner and Outer Meditation?
Frames of Reference

'The mind inside' refers to a state exclusively in the heart unrelated to any outer preoccupations.
'The mind outside' refers to its interaction with such outer preoccupations as sights, sounds, etc.

&quot;The mind inside&quot; consists of the mental states of desire, aversion and ignorance.
&quot;The mind outside&quot; consists of these same mental states but now they have attached to something outside of ourselves.
For example, being angry would be an internal mind state. Being angry at something would be an external mind state.
