**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

When the media is telling you one country is invading the other country,

Do you agree to that or not?

Does your agreement come from your deep thinking,

Reasoning,

Or you are being influenced by media to agree?

Just like you are voting in your country,

You are being influenced by the media to vote for some parties.

Have you ever noticed this is the same trick,

The same circus,

In different forms?

If you really think deeply,

Reason thinly,

Observe diligently,

The speaker is wondering how can one agree to the thing that one country is invading the other?

If one is agreeing to this,

It means that one is accepting nationalism,

The concept as a country,

And in that acceptance,

One loses the sense of humanity,

Human beings.

When the media says one country is invading the other,

Have you ever noticed your reaction to that saying,

Or you are trapped in that saying?

When the mind is trapped in that reaction,

The mind has a sense of condemnation,

Blaming,

Criticizing,

Judging.

Some stupid political leaders even promise to send weapons to the country that is called being invaded,

For what,

To perpetuate the war,

To have more people being killed?

If one looks closely at this ideology in this civilization,

Which is based on the egoism,

Individualism,

Commercialism,

Consumerism,

In that condemnation at the war,

The ego is distancing itself from this chaos.

When the ego condemns the war,

The ego can feel righteous,

Feeling that it is in the right place,

And this war has nothing to do with him or her.

That's why the self,

The ego,

Condemns,

Blames,

And the ego and the self flourishes upon believing.

And this kind of nonsense is repeated by the media to influence more people in this world,

And most people don't examine it.

That's merely a concept.

And this is the real violence taking place over the world,

Not only the war,

Which is the very extreme physical violence.

This war is not the starting point of violence,

It's merely continuation of the violence of each human being on this planet.
