This life is always in panic in one way or another,

And the mind is wanting to get rid of it.

So the mind escapes,

Run away from this panic,

Into the pleasure.

But the panic is always there.

Without understanding the panic,

Not the word itself,

But the actual panic when it's going through,

The panic always exists in different forms.

Living in thoughts,

The mind functions in thoughts,

Among the divisions created by thoughts.

So such a mind is full of thoughts,

Full of chattering,

Constantly chattering all the time.

And the mind is struggling to concentrate on some thoughts by excluding others.

The very doing so,

The mind creates the division,

Which is called the conscious and the unconscious.

Because the mind is always excluding to concentrate on some thoughts,

And other thoughts are running in the background,

Without the awareness.

And when those thoughts that are running in the background are causing issues,

The mind is confused.

What happens?

Numerous fear is running in the background.

The mind tries to exclude it by focusing on some thoughts that can bring about pleasure.

But fear is always there.

Because those thoughts that bring about fear never end.

They are being suppressed.

They are being controlled.

But they're still there.

Can one see this actually in mind's living?

Running away from those issues won't solve these issues.

Running away from one thought into another thought only accumulates more thoughts,

More issues.

Can one see this clearly in mind's living?

Because this is only the viewpoint from the speaker,

To him it's a fact.

But to you,

It might not be until you really observe it in your living,

In your life.
