**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

All the things we are thinking about is based on self-projection It is always according to what I think Because me is so deep-seated And this self-projection means that there is no care Care means that there is no self-projection Self-projection means that the mind has an image about others And this image is about my judgment,

My evaluation,

My comparison When the mind is trapped by this self-projection and self-oscillation There is no space for love And only a mind which has a vast space where the me is totally absent Can really observe and learn And therefore can really care Love is care,

Care is love When the mind has no occupation from which is called the me,

The self The mind is in a state of caring A caring mind never talks about love Talking about love implies there is no love When the mind is in a caring state,

There is no thoughts about love The thoughts about love implies there is desire for love Which also implies there is no love or a lack of love When there is care,

There is care Not care about whom,

There is care To have care,

We have to empty ourselves Can the mind empty itself?

Empty the content of this consciousness which is me This empty is not an idea or theory It's the sheerly acting now at each moment
