Transcript

To meditate is to act now.

One must take sheer actions.

To end,

To cut off these endless consciousness activities.

This requires tremendous observation.

One can't control to make it.

The control is still part of these endless consciousness activities.

The control only creates more mischief.

To really end,

One must understand now by inquiring into the psyche,

Into the me,

The self,

Now.

To inquire,

One must gather the energy,

All the energy.

Just like when confronts the physical danger,

One must gather all the energy to deal with the danger.

If one encounters a hungry bear,

One must hold and gather all the energy to deal with this danger.

Not thinking about retaining the parcel when received about one's purchase or whatever.

When the real danger is there,

The mind discards all the secondary thoughts are this.

Else one will be devoured by the danger.

When one really sees this danger,

At least kills turbulence,

Restlessness,

Utter selfishness,

Which creates numerous issues,

One must act now to deal with the danger.

Such a life is in danger.

The mind is totally confused.

The mind is suffering.

If the mind escapes,

There's no chance to deal with the danger.

And this world offers all kinds of escapes from the news,

On the TV,

On the internet,

All kinds of entertainment,

Series,

Movies,

All kinds of fun playing things.

And they are so attractive,

Isn't it?

And they become all kinds of business models.

This commercialism,

This consumerism is merely based on that.

But the issues are never solved.

One is merely seeking a momentary mental stability,

Pleasure.

And this life is struggle.

When the mind totally ignores danger,

This life becomes dangerous.

This constant struggle,

All kinds of challenges,

Are all pointing to the danger.
