A stressed mind is full of fear. The very control implies fear. The fear of not achieving, The fear of not having, Not becoming. And such a life brings about all kinds of conflicts, Confusion. To inquire together at this moment, Can we set aside everything human beings have created? Throw away all the burdens so we can inquire and look now? When the mind is controlling, The mind can't observe at all. When the mind is controlling, The mind is always focusing on image to become, To be, Or to avoid. The mind is not in full attention. Observing means that the mind is in full attention to look. The very doing so implies that there's no control at all, Mentally. Else, There's no observation, No inquiry. When the mind has such an impulse to control, That mind is in attention, No attention at all. So can we bring the full attention back to this moment? Throw away all the burdens. Simply look, Free to look, Free to observe directly, Without any sense of control. To really find out what is living without any control. Without control doesn't mean that it has lost control. It's a different thing, Totally different thing. The loss of control is the opposite of the control, Therefore it is still control. The loss of the control is born out of control. A life without any control has no opposite. Where there's an opposite, There is a division. There's duality. There must be control, And loss of control.
