A mind that makes efforts is never an empty mind.

Therefore,

No matter which effort it makes,

It won't never find the truth.

So to understand our life,

Really,

Actually,

We must understand this life living in force,

All kinds of false things,

Illusions,

Imaginations,

Theories,

Conclusions.

This word,

This consciousness is very verbal for most people on this planet.

It is the verse that bring a kind of reality that traps the mind,

Imprison the mind.

To come upon what is really true,

The mind must empty itself,

Which means that the mind must see the force.

The very seeing the force with energy,

With intensity is the process of inputting the mind.

So when the mind sees the force,

The mind sees the truth,

The truth is in the force.

To empty this busy mind,

Which is the fruit of all kinds of information,

Stories,

Gossip,

Narratives,

Theories,

Quarrels,

Hurt,

Troubles,

The mind must be capable of looking into itself thoroughly.

See how this mind works totally,

How those thoughts are distorting the mind,

Trapping the mind,

Deceiving the mind.

This requires diligent observation,

Tremendous inquiry.

It is a serious process.

It is not entertainment at all.

When the mind is really empty,

The mind has no issues at all and only such a mind can really live in truth.

Else the mind is always busy,

Always deceiving,

Always making all kinds of gimmick,

Mischiefs.

And such a life is a deception.

With all kinds of sufferings,

With a few moments of pleasure.

And to help that few moments of pleasure,

The mind endures tremendous sufferings.

A life in illusion has nothing to do with the truth.

A life in truth has no deception whatsoever.
