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.

Transcript

To meditate is to examine the thoughts in our life,

To see the force,

See the illusions created by the thoughts.

If the thoughts are not examined,

And if life is built upon the illusions brought about by thoughts,

Such life is vulnerable,

Unstable,

Unreliable.

In that situation,

The life is full of fear because that life is not secure.

When the mind doesn't really feel secure,

The mind can't really function properly.

The fear is there.

To deal with fear,

One has to deal with the thoughts in life,

To really see the force,

The illusions created by the thoughts,

And kick out all the illusions from life.
