Transcript

Can the mind stand alone?

No matter how busy the environment is,

Can the mind stand alone to look,

To observe?

When the mind is doing that,

When the mind is finding out for oneself what is true,

One becomes a light to oneself,

And such a light can cast the light very far away.

It is beyond any verbal things.

It is there.

And only when you are a light to yourself,

The darkness can be totally dispelled,

And the meaning of this existence is there.

But all of this is now being described by the speaker verbally.

It is you that come upon the truth for yourself by diligent observation and sheerly acting.
