Transcript

This world is full of noises,

All kinds talking,

All kinds chattering,

Not only outwardly,

But also inwardly.

For most people on this planet,

The mind is the verse,

The verse or the mind.

The mind is totally trapped in verse,

In the reaction to the verse,

In the imagination triggered by verse.

Such a mind has been totally enslaved to the language,

To the verse,

To the expressions.

It is a marvellous sight to see so many people keep talking,

Talking,

Chattering,

Chattering all the time,

But they don't listen.

For them,

The speaking is an outlet to air their issues,

Their breathing,

Their anger,

Their all kinds emotional conflicts.

They rarely listen.

For a mind which can't listen or see,

The mind is full of issues,

Conflicts.

The mind is confused,

Therefore it can't see or hear.

At the same time,

The mind that can't see or listen is also confused.
