Thoughts are extremely cunning,
Deceptive,
And the mind is so easily conditioned on thoughts.
To be able to observe the thoughts,
The mind has to be very quiet,
And also the very seeing the movement of thoughts also make the mind quiet.
This is the when process.
Time is the most difficult stuff about thoughts is time.
Time is very secret.
The mind tends to think that the time really exists without really examining what is time.
Look at our life,
This modern life,
All the life activities is going along the timeline.
When the mind misunderstands time as something really exists,
Then the mind won't realize that it is conditioned to this,
The time,
Which is actually also the product of thoughts.
Time is thought.
When we talk about time,
The time has become a concept on the consciousness.
And this time is no longer the same as the physical time,
The biological time,
Which is beyond the consciousness.
As one person from being born to grow up,
This really takes time,
Physical time,
Biological time.
It's beyond our consciousness,
Because it is always there.
The changing is taking place biologically,
Physically,
It's really a fact.
But when we introduce the time into this psychological world,
Into our life,
This time has become a concept in many bigger ways,
Also in many smaller ways.
We divide the day into 24 hours,
We form the concept,
The unit of year,
Century,
Second,
Minute,
Hour,
All kinds of units,
All kinds of measurements.
For a dog,
It never cares about hour or day,
But for us,
The human being,
We care about even the seconds or even smaller unit.
To observe a life trapped in thoughts is to observe the mind is trapped by time,
Time as concept.
