This journey,

Which is called self-inquiry,

Is also meditation,

To really go deeply into the mind,

To see how the neurons work on the conscious level and beyond consciousness,

To understand the life we are living.

For most people,

Living a life properly is a challenge,

Is a huge challenge.

The life is full of all kinds of influences,

All kinds of petty issues,

All kinds of distractions,

All kinds of fear,

Anxiety.

There are so many forces behind it that push the life to different directions.

To steer the life is to understand what is life,

To understand all the issues that exist in the daily life,

The issues at this moment.

All human issues are the consequence of the neural conflict.

The conflicts between the neural paths creates all kinds of issues,

Sufferings,

Problems.

Without realizing the issues behind the neural paths,

The mind is always seeking solutions outwardly in the hope of finding the solutions,

The answers to all kinds of questions.

Such a seeking outwardly has no end because the issues always pop up and the mind is fully occupied with seeking solutions.

Such a mind doesn't have space to really look and observe and learn.

Look around this world,

The whole world is trapped in all kinds of immediate issues.

And assuming these issues becomes another issue,

New issue is pop up when the old ones is gone,

It never end.

So such a life from the individual to the whole society is a battlefield all the time.
