A Mind That Could Not Observe Itself Must Be In Disorder

**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.

Why is life so easily moving away from this moment?

Human beings are always searching,

Wanting something more than their ordinary life.

They dig deep into the earth,

Go into space.

The human civilization has created a lot of wonderful things.

Those are very powerful,

Aren't they?

Our behavior,

Our life is conditioned to numerous thoughts,

Ideas.

Our behaviors are driven by thoughts,

Ideas.

Thoughts have improved the life greatly.

Look at the progress of the technology stuff,

Computer,

Internet.

But inwardly,

Whether we have made progress at all?

For most people,

Uninspiranate,

The life,

The living,

All the behaviors are conditioned to thoughts.

In other words,

Such a life is a reaction,

Isn't it?

A reaction to thoughts.

Thoughts are dominating the life.

Without carefully examining and understanding the structure of thoughts,

Thoughts inevitably create disorder.

And such a life is in disorder.

This world,

As we see objectively,

Is full of disorder.

It's in disorder.

All the issues are there.

We rarely solve any issue truly.

We only look for stop-caps.

Want to find out the immediate solution?

But by doing so,

We create more issues.

The government,

The society is busy making all kinds of regulations,

Rules,

Laws.

One law is superimposed over the other,

Layer by layer.

But this world is in disorder.

Still in disorder.

All of those disorders manifest themselves in our daily challenge,

Issues,

Problems.

But for most people,

We couldn't associate those disorders with all the issues because they haven't really observed themselves.

That's why they don't even notice the disorder.
