To live life freely,

Not the concept of freedom.

In this commercial environment,

There are all kinds of choices,

Options.

We have a lot of options.

We say this is freedom.

But a real free mind is never trapped in options.

Freedom is a creation,

Not to make a choice.

When making choice,

The mind is already trapped in a few directions.

That's not freedom.

We call it freedom because that idea of freedom brings about pleasure.

But pleasure is not freedom.

But freedom is the freedom from the pleasure at least.

We don't condemn pleasure,

But a free mind is never dominated by pleasure.

To live a free life in actuality,

Which means that this freedom exists at each moment of life,

The mind feels free,

Free from desire,

Pressure,

Fear.

The mind must be able to stand alone,

Not be driven or influenced or pushed by this society.

And the mind must be able to see the danger of this mental construct.

If the mind acts,

Take actions in life to keep the life from the danger of this monstrous society.

At least I have cleared all the issues from here.

This world is no longer monstrous.

This life has to act in this world which is full of all kinds of danger.

It's self-centered activities.

So living a free life is living a clear life.

The clarity is a top priority.

A free life needs a clear mind.

And no matter in which life situations,

I have to keep the mind clear.

That's the most important thing,

To really safeguard this inner order.

When the mind is clear,

The mind can solve any issues.
