Can I live life without any hypocrisy?
Hypocrisy implies self-deception.
What is the point of deceiving myself when the mind is able to see clearly the absurdities created by thoughts,
The nonsense created by thoughts?
What's the point of deceiving myself when the mind can stand alone?
Now aloneness,
The mind is fully connected with this moment.
Such a mind is open,
It's full of compassion.
And such a life is like a flower,
Without seeking any attention.
It's just flowers.
In that aloneness,
The mind is silent.
It's not the silence between two noises.
It's the abiding silence when the mind has seen its limitation,
Has seen the futility of thoughts psychologically.
That deep silence is the clarity.
Of course,
That monkey mind is already gone.
In that silence,
Nobody talks about the monkey mind.
It's no longer relevant.
This deep level of silence is the mutation.
It can't be induced by anything,
By a drug,
By a mantra,
By repeating something.
That stuff can't induce the silence.
The real silence can't be induced.
It can only come through this deeper,
Thorough,
And total understanding of life with great humility.
In that silence,
No matter what one does,
It is always beautiful,
Always right,
Always moral.
Nobody talks about morality.
Nobody talks about law.
In that silence,
The mind has its own order.
That order is virtue.
So meditation is to find out how to live a life properly,
How to stand alone in this monstrous society.
It's to come upon the truth,
Which is the deeper level of silence where the life is totally in order.
And such a life is flowering without knowing it is flowering.
That's the virtue.
That's the beauty.
That's the timeless quality of life and existence.
