**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.

To meditate is to put all energy to live at this moment The mind is experiencing,

Not you are experiencing This moment,

There's no space for thoughts Therefore,

There's no space for the self,

The me A life which is living at this moment has no past Something may happen yesterday,

But it won't leave a mark on the mind The mind is fully aware that our thoughts can distort the remembrance,

The memory Therefore,

Such a mind which is fresh,

Alive at this moment Doesn't believe in the past created by the narratives from the me,

From the self Such a mind is clear,

Has no confusion Because the me is absent Where there is me,

There are all kinds of narratives created by the me All these narratives are full of conflict,

Contradictions,

Therefore are confusing The me is confused A mind which is living at this moment fully is not registering with thoughts But observe and learn and is aware of the thoughts Such a mind is always young because it is never burdened by the past Else the mind becomes very old because years and years experience and past are accumulated Making the mind dull,

Mechanic,

Miserable This whole journey of self-inquiry is to end the self To live a life free from the past One has to see this clearly Psychologically,
