The Mind Is Isolated By Time As Concept, Which Is Thought

**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY.

This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To meditate is to really see the oscillation created by thoughts.

When we are oscillated by thoughts,

We are caught up in the past and future.

Caught up in the time.

The time as concept.

In terms of all kinds of planning,

Ambition,

Ends,

Goals.

But the real time is only now.

This moment.

As new clock,

As new watch.

Only now.

But as long as the time becomes a concept,

The mind starts its narratives.

With a central figure,

The self,

The ego.

All kinds of stories,

All kinds of planning,

All kinds of fantasies,

All kinds of imaginations.

The mind is purely kidnapped by the time as a concept.

That's the oscillation.

In that oscillation,

The mind seeks pleasure.

The mind creeps for more things,

More pleasure.

The mind suffers.

The mind is turbulent.

To end all the issues,

To solve all the issues,

Is to end that oscillation.

That oscillation is a small word created by thoughts.

When the mind is trapped in that oscillation,

The mind misperceives that small distorted word as the whole word.

But when the mind really,

Really walks out of that oscillation now,

When the mind really meets this moment afresh,

There's a new word.

A very different word.

A word on a different dimension.

It is vast.

It is limitless.

It has no center.

The center is the self.

Where there's the center,

There's a limit.

Therefore there's oscillation.

But such a new word,

Which is beyond the oscillation,

Has such a vast space.

In that space,

The mind is really free.

The mind is connecting with nature,

With humanity.

That mind is fully at present.

The mind is no longer time-bound.

There's peace,

There's silence on the mind.

It can only take place now.

That's the real power of now.

And that's also the truth of life.
