**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, not agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already part of true meditation.

When the mind is in full attention,

The mind is emptying everything.

But when the mind doesn't want to let go,

The mind can't be in full attention.

Therefore the mind can't see the fact actually.

This also means that when the mind is trapped in the known,

All can see knowledge,

All can see illusion,

Gossip.

For me,

The self is a product of the known.

And such a mind is incapable of listening,

Because no matter what it hears,

It is always being translated into another thought.

You see,

Such a mind is a megapie,

Always collecting,

Adding,

Accumulating.

It's hopeless,

Unless one should act to imitate it totally.

Impeded in known,

So the mind stays unknown,

Stays humble.

And only such a mind is capable of receiving,

Receiving the message directly,

Without any translation.

So one must deal with this,

Because that's the issue.

The mind resists to letting go of the past,

Of the me,

Of all the things accumulated.

The known is so stubborn.

The mind doesn't want to let go,

Always wants to hold on to something,

Automatically accumulating more and more and more.

And such a mind is incapable of observing and learning.

So can one surely act to imitate everything immediately?

To let go of it?

Which means that the mind is in full attention immediately.

The very giving full attention and observing this movement of thoughts is letting go of everything.

Else the mind can't give full attention.

The things the mind holds on to always brings the body's impulse.

And when the mind is really letting go,

Which means that the mind is really giving full attention to this movement,

The mind must hold to go through this turbulence.

Because the mind that is already attached to something must go through some turbulence to let it go.
