**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, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already part of true meditation.

Transcript

From each word I say,

I must be very careful to speak in a way without triggering the sense of me.

For every word I hear,

I must be very careful not to react to the words which bring about the sense of me.

And when you are doing so,

Life becomes very careful and you become more and more sensitive,

Not only to the thoughts inside here,

The mind,

The head,

Also everything around you.

And that sensitivity is the starting point of the intelligence,

The wisdom.

Thoughts are extremely cunning,

Deceptive,

Which means that for every word we say,

Every sentence we speak,

Every thought we use,

We must be very careful.

And such care brings about a very different energy to life.

And such care demolishes the wall created by the self,

And the mind is beginning to be able to observe life objectively.

I don't need to follow anybody else.

Me,

The ego,

The self,

Is a book I can learn,

Study.

Without this boundary of you and me,

The mind is able to observe freely,

To understand why this society becomes so ugly,

So degenerate,

So immoral.

Begin to understand why the nonsense is all over the place.

Begin to find out my own issues are not my issues at all.

They are not unique.

Everybody suffers.

This self-discovery brings more insight than anything inquired now through words.

You have to do it in person,

To look,

Look beyond yourself.

In this very individualistic world,

We only look at ourselves,

But the very doing so is a trap.

Because we are subjective,

And the analysis is only limited to myself,

Unless I let go of the self,

Demolish the wall,

I can observe everything totally,

To have this totality.
