**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, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

We can't escape,

Because we escape,

Nothing gets changed.

We have to understand all this carefully,

Peacefully,

In a very subtle way,

To clear the confusion.

That's why it is so important to meditate,

To understand the life totally.

Not my life,

Not your life,

But the life totally.

If there's no total understanding of the mind,

The mind is enthirally trapped in all kinds of fragments,

Where the conflicts,

Contradictions abound,

Only bring about suffering.

To understand all this,

One has to stand alone,

Without following anybody,

Any authority.

The mind must observe the compulsion to obey,

To follow,

See the futility of it,

Negate it,

Be alone.

Being alone means freedom,

The mind is free to inquire,

To understand,

Without being influenced.

And only such a mind can go deep,

Because such a mind is empty,

The mind stays unknown,

So the mind is eager to inquire,

To understand,

Or else the mind is always known,

Being filled with all kinds of influences,

Knowledge,

Other things.

There's no space for the mind,

Therefore,

Such a mind can't be humble.

Only an impotent mind is a humble mind,

And with such great humility,

The mind can penetrate all kinds of walls created by itself,

And in that penetration,

The mind really goes deep.

And this whole process implies the real transformation of a man.

This is not a theory,

But a fact,

A hard fact,

You need to come upon by yourself.

And this whole journey is called meditation in the real,

Authentic sense.
