Now life, Which is moment by moment, Is full of action, Sheer action. To live a life is to take sheer action at each moment. So the mind, The body, The whole being is always with actuality. And only living in this way, Thoughts and other things stay in the right place. The mind won't be dominated by the reactions, And such living is clarity itself. That's to say, When one lives in this way, One is clear, Undoubtedly. Of course, One can't imagine this now. What can one do? It's to live. Else the mind wants to be certain again, Then trapped in the thoughts again. So meditation is to live a life in a new dimension, Mentally, Psychologically. In that dimension, One can live harmoniously with the old dimension. All the issues which the mind thought it were are no longer related. That's the true freedom, Isn't it? Free from the sufferings, Free from the attachment. And only via this self-inquiry, Everything will take place naturally, Without any control, Any enforcement. And living in this way is clarity, With its simplicity and profundity. It's a life one can never imagine. Else the mind will think it is mysterious, Which is the reaction to the thoughts aborted. Such a living is an art, An art to live perfectly with full awareness, Moment by moment. In such a life, The ego, The self, Has no place, Because the self, The ego, Is full of control, Full of enforcement, Aggression, Problems, Images. Because the self, The ego, Is the consequence of all kinds of images and their reactions to it. The fame, Name, Salary, Country, Nationality, Estate, Car, House. All these concepts and images are building up the me, The self. And when the mind sees clearly how the mind is deceived by the images, In that scene the me stops. Because the me, All the issues are related to me, That's why I'm so painful. When the me stops, All of these issues are related to nothing. There's no me, So there's no one to suffer. And such a life is peaceful, Simple, Beautiful, Compassionate.
