If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. Listening to this talk is meditation. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without being stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is.

Why does a mind mistake the verse for the thing?

The very asking that question is the beginning point for one to realize deeply aware of the conditioning or else a conditioned mind always mistakes the verse as a thing.

So when one sees this clearly,

See the truth of it,

Verse or not a thing,

One must find out this verbal life is not true,

It is deceptive.

And such a life is prone to manipulation,

Inferences.

Look at the media,

Look at the political parties,

What are they doing?

They are making most of the verse to trick the mind,

To gain the benefit for themselves.

All kinds of rhetoric,

All kinds of political propaganda,

Commercial advertisements to influence people to manipulate the mind to deceive also themselves.

So when one sees this life which is verbal and superficial,

The false fate,

Can one imitate the superficialities of this life?

Can one see all the false things in this life to come upon what is true?

Can one live a life which is not verbal at all and the verse and thoughts are staying in the right place?

Which also means that can one live a life by standing alone?

Which means that this life is not influenced or manipulated by anybody,

By anything.

Can one do that?

This requires one to really act in life.

Meditation is about acting,

Not thinking,

Not controlling,

Not following some methods.

It's all about acting.

When the mind is really acting,

The mind is empty.

A capable mind is acting,

Else the mind keeps accumulating,

Keeps acting things,

Keeps storing something up.

Only a mind that is a shitty acting can really empty everything.

And only such a mind is capable of seeing the truth,

The ultimate reality of living.

And by doing so,

The mind comes upon this vast space where there is no boundary,

No me.

The me creates a very small space,

Very petty,

Very mean,

Very crowded,

Very noisy.

But when the mind is really empty,

The false,

The mind is very empty,

Vast,

And such a mind is capable of loving,

Is capable of taking actions.

And in the very acting,

The living is authentic.

It is true.

Else the mind is trapped in the norm,

Always depend,

Seek information,

To fill the mind,

To have the pleasure.

And such a life is full of issues.

The mind cling to the false for pleasure.

And a life living in the false is full of sorrow.

But when the mind totally negate the false,

Not for something better,

Just totally negate the false,

Negate the pleasure,

Such a mind has no fear,

No issues.

And there is only joy,

The joy of living authentically,

The joy of truth,

Which is living.

This truth is not an idea or theory.

It is not in the known.

But actually,

When a mind is living in the unknown,

Which means that the mind is always sheerly acting,

Such a mind itself is the truth without knowing it is the truth.
