The Division Of Society & Individual Is Self-Deception

Life,

For most people,

Is very complicated.

No matter which society one is living in,

There's such a strong psychological demand from society that keeps the mind fully engaged.

Every time we mention society,

We have to ask,

What is society?

Is there any difference between the individual and society?

Because of the limitation of language,

If one hears two words,

The mind can automatically think the things are separate.

But actually,

The words are not thin.

To really understand the thin,

One has to go beyond the verse,

Or else the mind is trapped in the division created by the verse.

The whole society consists of each individual.

And this society is the common consciousness of all the individuals living in this society.

In other words,

The society is running in the head of each individual.

To see our life,

To really understand our life thoroughly,

We see that there's such a strong demand from society.

But the society is running in my own head.

So such a strong demand comes from here,

Not outside.

The mind is always fulfilling the demand,

Responding to the demand from the mind itself.

If the mind thinks the society is different from the individual,

The mind deceives itself,

Therefore couldn't really see the life clearly.

In that perception,

Distorted bodies,

Separation between the society and the individual,

The mind is always dependent,

Always blames,

Always seeks ultimately to escape,

To alleviate the stress for a moment,

No matter how short it is.

But when the mind really sees clearly,

The whole society,

The mental construct of society is running in my own head.

And all this demand comes from my own mind.

In that state,

The mind can do nothing,

Can't escape.

The mind has to forge,

Because the mind can do nothing else,

Can't escape.

And this is the beginning of meditation,

To really,

Actually understand ourself.
