Can we live a life without making any efforts,
Without seeking?
When the mind is not seeking,
The mind is at this moment.
The mind stays with the fact that it is nothing.
But when the mind is chasing something,
Wanting to be something or become something,
To achieve something,
Then the mind can't stay with what it is now,
Which is nothing.
And such a mind is neurotic.
It is always wanting to prove,
To show that it is something.
And can't stand being labeled as disabled or not achievable,
Because the mind always has an image about itself.
I must be something.
Can the mind negate all that totally?
Stay with this moment.
This moment,
It is nothing.
When I see clearly this non-existent existence created by thoughts and illusions and further enhanced by the distorted perceptions,
I see it clearly that this moment I'm nothing.
I have shattered away all the burdens.
I'm free.
I don't need to struggle to make efforts to be something,
To escape from the fact that I'm nothing.
What a relief.
But can you see it for yourself actually?
The speaker keeps emphasizing seeing it actually,
Not treating it as an idea,
Which is fairly easy.
But when you see it actually,
You need to gather all the energy.
To look,
To understand,
And apply it to your life.
You must live in that way.
If you don't live in that way,
You don't understand it.
And the only thing about it,
It is still at the level of ideas,
Words,
Thoughts.
So the mind must stop being lazy,
To go beyond the verse,
To gather meaning behind the verse.
The mind must act to find out,
To test it out for oneself.
And then what one can find out is much,
Much more than what we can discuss here globally.
And this requires your diligence and tremendous observation.
Praise to it.
