Totality Clears All The Confusions In Life

**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, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

Transcript

To meditate is not to seek method,

But to inquire,

To learn,

Observe,

To understand the mind totally,

Not partially.

In that totality,

The total understanding of the mind,

There is clarity about life,

About everything.

The clarity only comes from the totality,

This all-runliness of life.

To understand the totality,

Which is the art,

The highest art human beings can ever achieve,

One has to observe,

Learn,

Perceive.

The totality is not an idea,

Or theory,

Or concept.

One can't imagine it,

One can't learn it from a book,

From a guru,

Or from anywhere else,

Which claim to be the authority.

One has to be alone,

To observe,

To learn,

To understand,

To inquire,

To investigate into the mind,

The heart.

In that aloneness,

Which means that the mind doesn't follow any authority,

The mind is free to see,

To observe,

To inquire.

The mind is not caught up in a small corner or some fragments.

The mind is free to look,

To investigate.

It is only then it is possible for the mind to grasp the totality.

The whole process of grasping that totality is the whole process of clearing all the confusions.

This state is not a has-been,

But a doing.

It is an ongoing state when the mind is acting,

Is learning at this moment.
