**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.

To really understand what's the ramifications,

The consequence of this controlled life is to really look at your life honestly.

The me,

The self is born out of control.

So is the illusion,

The pleasure seeking.

And when in this world everyone is controlling,

This world becomes personal,

Utterly personal.

Because the control leads to different fragments,

Different results,

Different behaviors,

Different way of pleasure seeking.

And people are trapped in their own experience,

So-called personal experience.

Without examining this deep control,

The control deep in the mind,

Life is superficial,

Fragmented,

But therefore full of contradictions,

Conflicts.

Can one apply what we find today into one's life?

Apply.

Not just listening to the speaker,

Listening to what is being said.

If there's no application,

It is meaningless still.

What the speaker has said about the control has a reality to him,

But not to you,

Unless you applied it to your life.

The very meditation is acting,

Applying what we have found,

Applying the truth to life.

So the life becomes truth.

Else people can generate numerous theories,

Philosophies,

Ideations,

Methods,

Practices.

But what really matters is acting,

Really applying the truth to life.

Live with it.

Only through living with it,

The mind is able to find out what is truth.

Not the words,

The expressions we use here,

But the very acting,

The very living is the truth.
