**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listening attentively and with humility. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, not agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To live a life in freedom is to live a life free from all kinds of violence.

When the mind is conditioned on its own ideas,

Thoughts,

Illusions,

The mind keeps imposing views,

Ideas on others,

All kinds of self-protection.

Such violence creates all kinds of frictions,

Problems that the mind is not aware of.

Therefore,

The mind is trapped in issues without realizing how those issues are generated.

The mind is trapped,

And only a mind that is able to see its violence.

So the violence totally ends,

And such a mind comes upon what is freedom.

Free from the burden of others,

Free of being the burden to others.

Such a mind is fully aware of each movement of thoughts.

And immediately,

Everything is slow.

Everything is being done with care,

True care.

Of course,

It doesn't mean that the mind is slow outwardly.

Such an inward slowness means the mind is emptying itself.

The mind has vast space,

And such a mind is acting at each movement.

And the mind which is acting,

Which is taking actions at each movement,

Is achieving more than a mind who is always wanting to achieve.

And for such a mind,

There is no achievement,

Because living now,

Living at this movement,

Has its own reward,

Unspeakable.

And only a mind that is acting can come upon this,

This incessant beauty,

Tremendous beauty of life.
