Transcript

The mind is very easy to be into the concentration mode because the content of the thoughts bring about pleasure.

Pleasure is a drug,

Isn't it?

Like eating sugar also bring about pleasure in thoughts.

The thoughts drive the mind to eat more sugar,

Similarly to concentration,

Or actually the same with concentration.

The pleasure of the thoughts drives the mind into thoughts deeper and deeper,

More and more.

So that's why without carefully examining the mind,

Which is giving full attention,

The mind is inevitably trapped in all kinds of fragments due to this very easy concentration.

When the mind is in concentration,

The mind is naturally excluding others,

Which is aggression,

A form of violence,

A very fundamental violence of all kinds of violence on its planet,

Which are all due to this fundamental one.

Because concentration means that the mind is trapped in one fragment,

Any other destruction will inevitably create conflict.

When the mind repels to the conflict,

Which is exclusion,

Look around this planet,

Most people are living in concentration.

That's why their life is full of all kinds of exclusion,

Conflict,

Building more and more walls around them,

Creating such an individual world.

All of this shows that human beings are lacking attention.

They don't give attention to life,

So their life becomes so miserable,

Creating all kinds of equal things politically,

Commercially.
