A Seeking Mind Is In The Past And Cannot Meet The Issue

**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.

So,

To solve our issues,

The mind must observe,

Must learn,

Observing and learning our actions that are taking place at present,

This moment.

And only a mind which is living at the moment can really observe and learn.

If the mind seeks,

The mind is still functioning in thoughts.

But the real solution never lies in thoughts.

Thoughts are always old,

Always in the past.

So when a mind is seeking,

The mind is living in the past.

Therefore the mind can't really meet this moment.

Therefore the mind can't observe or learn.

Therefore the mind can't meet the challenge,

The problem.

Because the problem is always at this moment.

So you see the self-deception.

The problem is now,

But the mind is seeking in the thoughts.

So in that state,

One is never solving the issues.

Because the issue is obvious at this moment,

But the mind is still seeking solutions in the past,

In the thoughts,

Only creating more issues.

For such a mind as it living through the life,

More and more issues are accumulated.

And the mind still trapped in thoughts,

In its desires,

In its seeking.
