**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. 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 a meditation practice.

Transcript

To meditate for each of us is to really see the issues,

The consequence,

The tremendous consequence of this life.

To see the real danger in life.

The physical danger can be easily understood.

In the wild,

The all kinds of dangers can be perceived by the mind easily to survive.

But living in a society,

Everything becomes so easy.

Society has brought about such an easy life.

Can satisfy all your desires,

All your wantings,

All your cravings.

But you are not satisfied because the mind wants more.

And such cravings,

Such seeking creates the turbulence,

The incessant issues for each of us.

But the easy life living in a society has made us lose this alertness for danger.

Which is the same with the physical danger.

The danger is thought.

Thought is like a drug,

Can give one pleasure,

But also intoxicate the person.

The pleasure distorts the perception.

So the mind loses the alertness,

The God against the danger.

That's the beginning of the corruption of the mind.

The beginning of a corruptive life.
