This radical change of the mind is not to become something,

Be something,

According to an image,

An idea.

In opposite,

This radical change comes from the mind sees clearly the limitation of thoughts,

The futility of thoughts,

And drop all the thoughts to meet this moment.

Thoughts have their place in this technological world.

We have made a lot of progress.

Knowledge has a place,

But inwardly,

Psychologically,

Why does knowledge stay there?

Why the knowledge overflows into the psyche?

The thoughts keep being accumulated more and more.

Psychologically,

It is easy to add,

Keep adding,

But it's so counterintuitive to remove to madness.

Thoughts keep growing,

Keep accumulating.

The mind becomes a warehouse to store all the old things,

All the dead things,

All kinds of burdens,

Your own burdens,

Other people's burdens.

Can one live a life without being burdened by the past,

Without carrying any burdens?

This real life points to this radical change,

A life fully at this moment.

And only in a life which is fully at this moment,

Knowledge can stay in the right place.

Or else the knowledge can easily take over the life,

Luminous life,

This total life,

Which has won in the past forever.
