**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 part of true meditation.

Transcript

If one can't stand alone,

One must be lost in such a society.

Got hit,

Got struck by different looks from different egos.

To stand alone means the mind is totally out of this degenerous and immoral society.

Which means that the mind goes through a radical change,

Mutation.

The me,

The ego,

Is totally absent.

One still lives in a society,

But one doesn't belong to it.

So,

This journey of the meditation,

Of this very serious inquiry into the self,

Is to find out in person how to stand alone.

A mind that stands alone is very rich.

It never depends.

Such a mind is very alive,

Very energetic,

Very down to earth.

And only in that state,

It is immovable.

All kinds of inferences from different loops of different egos can't carry the mind away.

Because in that aloneness,

The mind is very clear,

It's able to differentiate different loops,

Different patterns,

Different disorders.

In that very scene clearly,

The mind,

The life,

Is immovable.

All those we have inquired together,

In which the speaker has made a lot of statements,

It is not a theory,

It's something everyone needs to test out seriously.

Life is too short to waste.

To live a life authentically,

One has to find out what is life,

What is an authentic life.
