**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant.

This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, not agree or disagree, and just look at the mind as it is.

Transcript

A mind that is trapped in illusions,

That is seeking according to its own illusions,

Has no meaning.

It may seek a meaning,

But such unseeking has no meaning.

A mind that stops seeking,

Including the meaning of living,

Such a mind is living a life that is naturally meaningful.

And nobody really talks about meaning when life is meaningful.

Just like nobody really talks about love when life is full of love.

So a mind that keeps seeking is oscillated by itself.

This is the real challenge for the human beings.

This economy,

This capitalism,

Also called commercialism and consumerism,

Is all based on the self-oscillation.

The mind keeps seeking things for its own fulfillment,

Satisfaction,

At the cost of this planet.

Look at this air pollution,

All kinds of challenges ultimately.

Isn't it the consequence of this self-oscillation?

Climate change,

Pollution,

All of these issues can't be solved actually without really solving the inner world issues.

If one can't really inquire into the self,

One can do climate change,

Do all kinds of activism for its own self-fulfillment.

The same loop,

The same pattern,

Doing all kinds of green energy,

But still for its own self-fulfillment,

Pleasure.

Such a mind doesn't really see the actual issues at all.

And this is this superficial world created by such a self-oscillation.

To inquire to understand ourselves is to end this oscillation,

Can one live life without any seeking immediately?

To answer this question requires one's sheer acting.

The very doing so embodies the true meditation,

Also this authentic living.

The very seeking creates all kinds of disguise,

All kinds of vanity,

Which are mere illusions,

Nonsense.

A mind that is never six is clear,

Is honest,

Is down to earth,

Is capable of being a human.
