Transcript

If one pays close attention to the daily living,

One must notice that most energy is being visited in all kinds of thoughts or ideas.

For most people,

These mental activities are excessive,

Too much.

It almost takes over the whole life.

Many kinds of activities in the daily living are based on thoughts,

Concepts,

Ideas.

Even when one goes to the supermarket,

There are so many different products.

All kinds of beautiful packages.

All kinds of influential words,

Expressions on the package.

And these buying things become a consciousness activity.

The mind is tricked by the package to decide which to buy.

And to sell the products well,

The marketing and also the package,

Is very important to trick the mind to buy it.

But all those are pointing to that this life,

Which is very commercial,

Is full of thoughts,

Ideas,

Concepts.

The real need of the body is hijacked by thoughts.

If one is really hungry,

One can buy anything to eat.

But when the thoughts kick in,

The mind begins to compare,

To judge,

To buy according to some recommendation.

And these consciousness activities are affecting every corner of life.
