Listening to this talk is a meditation practice.

This moment,

Let's set aside everything else so we can observe,

Learn,

And think together to find out what is really true by seeing the force in the living.

For most people on this planet,

Life is in illusion.

All can stay dreaming,

Planning,

Evaluation,

Rumination,

Endless.

This world is so chattering.

There are so many voices contradicting,

Conflicting,

Also confusing.

Actually we don't understand ourselves at all.

The mind is ignorant of itself.

So this moment,

Can we demolish all the walls to really look at the issues together?

It is not your particular issue or the speaker's particular issue,

But it's the issue of the human mind.

But this world has been so used to you,

I,

Me.

Me first,

This is my thing,

Your thing.

When the mind is trapped in that division,

The mind must be confused.

And in that division,

In that fragment,

The mind can't perceive what is true.

And this civilization is so deep into the egoism,

The fragment created by thoughts.

And such a living is totally in illusion.

The mind keeps seeking pleasure,

Seeking its own fulfillment,

Satisfaction,

Gratification.

At the same time,

Such a mind is violent,

It's chaotic,

It's destructive.

From the environmental issues to the climate issues,

All kinds of disasters,

It is all because of this totally destructive living.

Where the mind is only concerned about its own benefit,

Pleasure,

And such a living is totally corrupt,

Totally rubbish.

And the society based on this,

Of course,

It's the same.

Because we are the society.

The way of living,

The way of thinking,

Speaking,

And behaving creates such a society,

Degenerate,

Immoral.

Without really observing this thoroughly or objectively,

We can't really study ourselves.

The all kinds of nonsense theories,

Ideas,

Are designed to give the mind a sense of satisfaction.

Most people are satisfied with the verse,

But they don't go deep,

Go further to understand what is really true,

What is really false.

So this world,

Which is created by the thoughts in this order,

Is putting everything in crisis.

To understand ourselves,

We must demolish this boundary between you and me.

Else the mind is always functioning in fragments,

In biases,

In prejudices.

Such a mind can't really understand the issue in its entirety.

Therefore the mind keeps being ignorant and destroying the world.
