Me Does Not Exist At This Moment, Truth Is Absolute

**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, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

When the me is there,

The me is only seeking its own pleasure,

Its own benefit,

Its own interest.

In that pursuing,

The me also escapes from all kinds of confusion,

Challenge.

And in that self-concern,

The me creates its own boundary,

Its own oscillation.

The pleasure is transient.

It only stays for a moment and is there forever.

So in that very seeking,

The me becomes very restless,

Even violent.

In that seeking,

The me-world becomes so divided,

Separated.

And this society emphasizes the individualism only further enhances this issue.

This world,

Politically,

Economically,

Is full of all kinds of divisions,

Conflicts,

Contradictions.

The whole system is failing.

And everyone is lonely,

Is isolated,

Is confused.

That is what is really taking place now on this planet.

To solve this issue,

Fundamentally,

Is not to escape.

Can one be with what is,

Not run away from it,

Just see things as they are?

Can one just watch?

Can one really see that one only belongs to this moment?

In this moment,

The very existence doesn't allow me to operate.

Why it is so easy to betray this moment?

All the pleasure things,

All the personal things come back,

Take over this moment.

And then this moment becomes an idea again.

Can one see this clearly and take sheer actions to safeguard this moment?

Because this moment is the only existence.

Else there's only the me-world.

You see,

One denies the other.

You can't hold on both.

That's the absolute site of truth,

Living in truth.
