Why is this life so confusing,

So chaotic,

So turbulent,

So messy?

Why does the mind suffer so much?

So we get all the energy which can be easily dissipated,

Wasted in thoughts,

In this consciousness which is me.

In such a river of this consciousness,

The mind has lost the vitality to look,

To perceive.

The mind is being filled with all kinds of influences,

Gossip,

News,

Stories,

Narratives,

All kinds of various expressions.

And such a mind has no space at all to understand itself.

Can you empty the mind totally,

Not partially or fragmentarily,

But totally empty the mind?

Can you?

Can you do it immediately?

If you are hesitating,

If you are doubting,

You are being lazy.

And when the mind is lazy,

The mind depends,

The mind always wants to find out a method,

A solution,

A shortcut,

A stop-gap.

But the mind is still lazy,

Very lazy,

Because it is easier to depend,

It is easier to rely on something,

Rely on the authority.

It is easier to conform,

It is easier to imitate.

And such a lazy mind is easily being manipulated,

Influenced,

Shaped,

And therefore totally lost in this confusing world.

To meditate,

To understand ourselves deeply,

One must stop being lazy mentally.
