The Self Creates The Isolation From The Actuality

**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 and with HUMILITY.

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

Look around this world.

There are all kinds of views,

Ideas,

Bombarded from everywhere.

Media,

Newspaper,

Even all kinds of formal informal talks,

Conversations.

If the mind is really quiet,

Really thin,

It is easy to recognize all kinds of silly nonsense.

Look around.

Why do those silly nonsense become the normalities of life?

People become more and more individual,

Divided and separated.

Everyone creates their own all kinds of silly things.

When the mind perceives all those silly things,

The mind finds that all those things have diverted from the actuality.

It has no meaning in the actuality.

But to understand this deeply,

One has to observe this world,

Which is me.

And me is this world.

Why does this world become further and further away from the actuality,

Creating all kinds of self-isolation,

Separation?

That each individual mind is trapped in all kinds of illusions,

Theories,

Ideas,

Which has nothing to do with life.

Why does the mind always want to go beyond the daily living,

Creating all kinds of illusions?

Why can't our mind stay fully at this moment,

Stay with the actualities?

This very seriously asking this question is part of the meditation.

Those questions are not used to find an answer,

But it's a question that to bring about the awareness,

The deep awareness of the self.
