**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, not agree or disagree, and just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already part of true meditation.

When the mind really sees that it only belongs to this moment The mind is no longer isolated by the thoughts This moment is gone When the mind is making efforts,

It's controlling.

So the mind is taking care of this moment Taking care means that the mind is not trapped in illusions A mind which is in illusion has no care at all And the real relationship unfolds naturally at this moment The mind has no illusions.

So the mind can see things as they are.

The husband can see the wife.

The wife can see the husband People can see each other and this relationship is beyond any definition When we see each other we already have a relationship No matter it is called couple,

Friend,

It doesn't matter.

They are all concepts And such a life is no longer isolated Therefore pleasure is no longer one's interest A mind which is never isolated is not interested in pleasure at all Instead the very seeking pleasure implies that there's isolation.

The me,

The ego is there When the mind sees this fact deeply,

There's no future psychologically The mind is living with care So the mind never betrays this moment and such a living is in the unknown because this moment is always unknown.

The known creates the past and the future which are the same And the beauty of living only exists in the unknown A mind that stays unknown clears all the illusions and such a mind is clear Else the mind which is trapped in the future is confused,

Totally confused As it's happening now all over the world To see this fact actually which is your work Depending on your diligence and tremendous observation is the meditation To have this creative mind that is able to see the fact is meditation Meditation is not a method or practice or system Meditation is a matter of totally transforming oneself So the mind functions in truth When the mind is living in truth,

The mind has no issues Such a mind is capable of dealing with all the issues in this world Such a mind doesn't crave hope.

Hope implies a future Such a mind is a hope itself When the mind is living in the unknown,

Fully living at this moment,

It is the most hopeful thing ever Not in the illusion or the self-deception that the mind always hopes,

Expects The real hope is in the unknown,

Not in the illusion of the known
