Such a mind,

Which is trapped in this non-existent future,

Is always seeking,

Seeking its own fulfillment,

Seeking according to its own illusion,

Desire,

Wanting.

And such a mind keeps missing this moment.

And such a life is full of control,

Full of all kinds of planning to plan the future.

So the mind is always trapped in the past because the future is based on the past.

Do you see the point here?

The mind plans for the future,

But the future is based on the past.

So the mind is always trapped in the past.

It is a circus.

It is a self-loop.

And the mind keeps missing this moment.

What a pity.

And this past,

This future,

Which is the theme scene,

Around the concept,

Which is me,

Is the product of thoughts.

Thoughts create the time.

This psychological time is in the knowing.

The knowing is the thoughts.

And when the mind is trapped in the knowing,

The mind is always living in time,

The past,

The future.

Can one see this illusion actually,

Without regarding what the speaker says as an idea or another thought?

Do you actually see it in your life?

See this illusion?

Not just agreeing or disagreeing with what the speaker says.

But do you see it in your life,

Actually?

Do you see that as a matter of actual fact?

Psychologically,

There is no future at all.

Can the mind see this fact actually,

Not translating it into an idea?

Then the mind keeps escaping,

Keeps avoiding.
