Transcript

The mind needs security to function.

Or else the mind is always living in fear,

In danger.

All to that fear,

The brain can't function well.

To understand the security is to understand fear.

It's not to seek security.

How can I find security?

When the mind is asking that question,

The very wrong question makes the mind insecure.

To have a secure feeling is not to create the illusion,

To play all kinds of tricks in order to bring about this temporary stability.

But to inquire deeply into our life,

To understand how this life is built.

How the thoughts function in our life.

Why the mind is so easy to feel insecure?

Rather than seeking a method or a solution,

The very eagerness to inquire,

To understand all this totally and completely,

Is the way to live a life without fear.

To live a life without fear,

One has to see,

Understand how the movement of thoughts brings about the fear.

When the mind is trapped in the movement of thoughts,

That movement can easily bring about the uncertainty,

A feeling of insecurity.

And for many people,

The mind is seeking security subconsciously.

In that seeking,

The mind stops learning and observing,

Therefore understanding how the thoughts are creating the fear.
