**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.

Transcript

Ending the addiction is also gathering the energy Else this addiction absorbs all the energy When the mind is trapped in thoughts,

Into the addiction to thoughts,

The mind is simply incapable It can do nothing Maybe the thoughts still deceive one that Oh,

I'm very capable,

I can do everything But the fact that one can do nothing is a fact Because the mind is occupied,

It's taken over by this addiction So the question comes back Can one surely act to end this addiction?

The very doing so is true meditation There's no path,

There's no gradual process It is just up to one to really surely act When the energy is no longer vested in thoughts,

This life is full of energy Therefore it is full of action Such a life is capable And such a life has no issues at all When the mind is no longer addicted to thoughts,

The mind is no longer seeking pleasure And such a life has the joy When the mind,

When the life is no longer trapped by thoughts,

All the senses are working harmoniously,

There's a joy It's just like without sugar,

There's still sweetness But if you keep eating sugar,

It ruins everything This self-inquiry is not into any ideas,

Theories,

Conclusions It must be done by you in person,

To act When the mind sees this futility of thoughts,

Which only bring about self-deception,

Illusion and also the self-destruction The mind must act surely The real life is at this moment This moment is not a thought,

An idea,

The fresh air outside the breath,

All body sensation The real living is not surrounded by thoughts at all Those thoughts have a place,

But they stay in the right place Else the mind is trapped in thoughts And such a mind is totally disconnected,

Totally cut off from this moment Also authentic living is to act,

Is to live life with a sense of urgency The urgency comes from seeing the danger,

The danger of thoughts that destroy everything
