**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.

This moment,

Let's meet truly together to inquire,

To understand this world,

Not the outer world,

Not the inner world,

But the world.

To really understand what is really going on in this world,

Not from the media propaganda,

Not from the politics,

Not from all kinds of influences.

Can one inquire independently?

Can one understand without any influences?

Can one go through all the superficialities to deeply be aware of what is really going on in this world,

Chaotic,

Turbulent,

Confusing?

Without understanding this world,

There's no meaning to meditate.

For most people on this planet,

They are only interested in themselves,

In their own corners,

Which are built up from the thoughts.

Their purpose is to how to make the self-oscillation practical.

They don't care about anything else at all.

They accept what they are being told.

Accepting what is being told is the easiest way to live,

Isn't it?

Just accept,

Accept,

Accept.

The purpose is that I don't want to be disturbed.

If one looks closely at life,

This mere acceptance,

This mere confirmation,

Imitation is a form of violence.

The mere acceptance without any thinking,

Any reasoning,

Any observation is totally irresponsible.

And we are collectively irresponsible,

Creating such a monstrous,

Ugly world that traps you and me.

To meditate is not to continue this self-oscillation,

Self-deception,

But to be deeply aware of the violence in ourselves.

The violence is much more subtle than one thinks.

To be able to observe this subtle level of the violence,

One has to be very diligent to observe,

To understand,

Understand the hatred,

The aggression,

All kinds of nonsensical self-assertion.

See the consequence of being violent,

Then it is possible for one to touch upon something in a new dimension.

But one must cease to be a violent being first.

If one doesn't really observe one is violent,

It means that one is violent.

But most people think they are not violent instead.

They are deceiving themselves and at the same time continue to be violent.

That is what is going on in this world,

In this super divided hypocritical world.
