Transcript

To meditate is to live a life without any blame.

It doesn't mean that we accept something wrong,

But it's the wisdom.

The mind doesn't react to the things.

So the mind can see what is really wrong clearly.

So the mind can stay clear or weak.

If the mind keeps blaming,

The me is very active.

The mind is turbulent,

Chaotic.

Such a mind can't really see what is really true,

What is really false.

The very blaming only perpetuates the confusion about life.

So to see the false implies there's no judgment.

There's no condemnation,

Justification.

There's no blame at all.

Such a mind is able to see clearly what is really going on in the mind.

And only such a mind which is clear,

Is full of action,

Can take actions to counteract the wrong things.

Else the blaming only paralyzes the mind,

The energy is vested in blaming,

Creating all kinds of conflicts,

And the mind can do nothing.

So the wisdom of life is counterintuitive.

When the mind is living in thoughts,

The mind tends to think in a convenient way.

So the wisdom is usually something that seems to be inconvenient at first sight.

In other words,

Wisdom is to fight against the self-deception.

Wisdom is to see the deception,

See the false.

In not seeing the false,

The mind touches upon the truth.

The intelligence arrives.

Subsequently,

For each of us,

Can we observe the tendency to blame in life?

Can you hold no to blame anybody?

Which also means to forgive anybody.

To allow the mind to end the self with me naturally,

Without any further stimulation.

Such a moment might be difficult,

Challenging.

But if you hold it,

If the mind holds it,

The mind will find out what is the wisdom like.
