Transcript

The mind that is depending is in amply trapped in illusions,

The illusions of me and the numerous illusions.

Because the mind is dependent on thoughts.

When the mind is dependent on thoughts,

There's only division,

There's only separation.

You depend on some thoughts and I depend on something different.

So we divide,

Which embodies this individualism.

Because the mind is dependent on something different,

So we don't meet,

We are separated.

There's tremendous conflicts,

Sufferings,

Challenges,

Hatred,

Anger,

Aggression,

Depression.

Can one see this actually in one's living,

Without translating it into another idea or thoughts?

When the mind is dependent,

There's corruption,

Total corruption,

And the social society is immoral,

It's degenerate,

As it's happening now over the world.

So we are dependent mentally and psychologically,

So we are accented by ourselves.

Because depending creates the illusions of me and all kinds of illusions.

And thoughts are never stable,

They are always changing.

So this dependence is very vulnerable.

A mind that depends doesn't feel secure and craves security,

Certainty.

You see this trap?

This circus the mind is trapped in.

The mind is dependent on thoughts,

But thoughts are never stable.

So this depending creates such an instability.

So the mind is separated,

Isolated,

And the mind is suffering in their own way.

This is the actual content of this civilization.

The mind is only seeking positivity to cover up the travails,

The tremendous suffering beneath it.

As the mind is seeking more and more positivity,

It is becoming more and more difficult to look with humility and honesty.
