**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, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

Freedom actually only exists at this moment else freedom becomes an idea in the me world In that world,

The me keeps choosing between different options and most people misunderstand the freedom as that But if one really looks closely see the fallacy of the ideas of freedom Choosing between A and B is not freedom It's a prison The real freedom has no options Options are only in thoughts Thoughts create this illusion of freedom to choose But that's not freedom It might be a pleasurable idea in the me world But that's not the freedom at all The real freedom is the mind living at this moment fully Not trapped in the thoughts,

In the consciousness Beyond that,

The mind is in a boundary state With all those reactions from thoughts or being driven by thoughts The mind is in freedom So to have that freedom is really to safeguard this moment When the mind is really at this moment The mind is in connection with everything The nature,

The universe And in that freedom,

There's joy There's peace The mind is silent And only a silent mind can find freedom Not a chattering mind A chattering mind can talk about the freedom to choose forever But that's not freedom at all When the mind is really silent,

The mind is free Not I feel free,

That's very deceptive But the mind is free The mind is also peaceful,

Joyful There's no contradiction,

No division And the mind is living with care And that care is compassion And in that compassion,

The mind is never lonely,

Never The mind is alone,

But alone means all one When the mind is in that oneness,

There's compassion And such life is tremendously beautiful
