Inquire Into The Self, The Conditioning To Understand Truly

**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. 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. 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, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already part of true meditation.

Some friends ask,

How do you live a life without burden when we have to have jobs and pay bills?

First,

One has to ask oneself,

Does one have to?

How does one define a job?

Why the bill is too high?

Why this lifestyle is so expensive?

We need to look at it carefully,

Not to condemn the job,

But to understand our lifestyle totally We have to go deep into ourselves,

Why the mind keeps conforming,

Keeps following,

Keeps imitating Why does everybody live in this way?

So the mind is conditioned to that,

So that we think we have to,

But do we have to?

Question it To question it is also to enquire into the self Each of us creates this society together,

Do we?

This mental construct of society is running in Aaron's head To live a life authentically is to understand myself,

That is also to understand the society thoroughly In that deep understanding,

The mind will act,

Will do,

But you can't imagine now Because now what you are thinking,

What you are asking is still based on your conditioning And without realizing your conditioning,

Simply asking this question only traps you further Please don't be in a hurry to ask this question,

Observe,

Enquire into the self first,

And everything will appear or disappear naturally
