Everything is transient, But the mind creeps for permanency. We want the pleasure to be permanent. To make it feel like permanent, The mind has to seek to maintain the pleasure. And such a life is a struggle by itself unless one realizes that the life is a verb that's to live, To live at this moment fully. That's to experience this moment without knowing it's an experience. So the mind stays at this moment, Leaves this moment fully, Experiences it without seeking an experience. And this is a life full of action because the mind is not trapped in thoughts. The mind sees each moment as peace without a filter of the image, Thoughts, Conclusions, Assumptions. The mind is totally fresh. Such a mind is living, Is truly living, And such a life is a life of truth, No illusions, No fear. Thoughts function in the right place. The verb mind needs some thoughts, But to live a life at this moment, Psychologically thoughts have no place, The images, The ideas have no place. So for each of us to look at this vast field which is called life is to understand, To find out why the thoughts have existed in so many aspects of life. Can we be aware of the thoughts in life? Be aware of this state of living thoughts, Living in isolation. When the mind is living thoughts, The mind is living by the pleasure which is the reaction to the thoughts, The images, Symbols, Ideas. That mind can't see this moment, Can't really see the people around it. The mind is always looking at things through some filters, The perception, The conclusion, The conditioning, Biases. The mind never freshly touches upon the things around it. Therefore such a mind is isolated by thoughts.
