Seeing Clearly Requires Energy Gathered To End The Duality

**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 part of true meditation.

Life is a journey.

It's a long journey.

Complicated.

Follow all kinds of stories,

Narratives,

All kinds of confusion,

All kinds of immediate issues.

Most of us are busy with all kinds of immediate issues.

Every day,

There are new issues that keep popping up all the time.

The mind is always looking for solutions to the immediate issues.

But all these issues are endless,

Incessant.

And the mind is trapped in the loop of seeking solutions to all those endless immediate issues.

And therefore,

There's no energy left for self-inquiry to understand the greater questions,

The greater issues.

In the greater,

The lesser is not.

But in the lesser,

We can't meet the greater.

So this moment can then set aside all the things to get all the energy at this moment.

To inquire,

To understand ourselves.

Without saying clearly,

We are always creating new issues.

The mere seeking solutions to the immediate issues we are creating is futile.

And most people don't really think in words.

They always depend,

Depend on authority,

Depend on experts to tell them how.

But when the mind sees clearly,

The mind won't ask how.

The very seeing clearly reveals all the answers.

Seeing clearly all the questions is the answer.

The answer and the question is one.

But without seeing clearly,

The mind is always looking for solutions.

Ultimately,

Keeping creating more dualities,

More divisions,

More conflicts,

More confusions.
