This concept of me,

Which is already so deep-seated in this world,

Is full of fear.

And the mind wants to conform and imitate,

To have a sense of security.

But this whole process is dependence.

And the mind is dependent on something so changeable.

This collective consciousness of the society or the crowd,

It is so changeable.

Do you notice that?

When the me is dependent on that,

The me can't really see it is so changeable.

But the me feels this consequence.

Only when the mind stops conforming and imitating,

Which means that the mind stops seeking.

And this center,

Which is called me,

Is naturally disintegrated.

And in that state of mind,

It is capable of vouching.

When the mind no longer conforms and imitates,

The mind is alone.

And only a mind that is in aloneness can come upon what is true in the living.

Which leads to the ultimate clarity and certainty.

But when the me is there,

The me is always holding on to something,

Always conforming and imitating,

For a sense of security or certainty.

In that state of mind,

The mind can't touch upon the truth.

Because the truth makes the mind panic when it so creates security and certainty by conforming and imitating.

So from certainty,

The mind ends up in uncertainty.

But when the mind stops imitating and conforming,

Stops seeking,

The mind puts itself into this state of being uncertain.

The mind is looking and observing.

In this state of mind,

It will find the ultimate certainty,

Which is totally immovable.

So here comes the difficulty of wanting to go into oneself.

That is,

Can one put oneself into this uncertainty?

Which means that the mind stops conforming and imitating.

Stay with the uncertainty.

Stay with your fear.

Don't run away into some other escapes.

So in uncertainty,

The mind is looking,

Understanding,

Understanding.
