Transcript

It is a matter of the quality of mind.

When the mind is seeking,

Such quality is in illusion.

Therefore,

Such a mind can't really listen to what is being said,

Because such a mind that is seeking is still trapped in its own illusions.

The mind is translating,

The mind is interpretating through its own projection,

Which is illusion.

But when the mind stops seeking,

The mind doesn't seek anything.

Such a mind is able to observe,

Is able to see everything clearly,

Including all kinds of illusions.

When such a mind is listening,

Listening attentively,

Because the mind is observing,

When the mind is seeking,

Seeking this psychological security,

All the neurotic behaviors are driven by this.

The mind is doing all kinds of stupid things,

Even endangering oneself,

Which is actually taking place in this world.

A mind that is seeking psychological security can't really perceive the danger,

The actual danger at all,

Because the seeking mind is trapped in its own illusion.

And such a mind can't really handle the real life challenges at all,

Because for such a mind,

The priority is to finding the psychological security.

You see,

This is what is taking place all the world.

The mind is isolated by itself,

Seeking all kinds of things.

And this is what is actually taking place in this egocentric,

Egotistic,

Self-centered world.

Can you observe this,

See this actually in this living?
