May I bow Luangta down to head.
The result of not truly understanding our own mind causing a lot of problem in life.
We think that we are only this body and mind. When the thoughts and emotions arise, we subconsciously identify ourself to these collection of thoughts and emotions. And then we add “I am” as a group of this fresh meat (body) and these thoughts and feelings (mind). Inevitably, the suffering will come as a result.
When your minds are full with attachment to the world, you are in the realm of ego (fault self). The ego (fault self) is temporary, changing, and non-self. You will subconsciously create fault self. When you think that this fault self is a real YOU, you will suffer because it conditions with temporary, changing and not true self.
You make a mistake of creating nothingness to something.
We have to investigate the truth that the feeling of “Self” is only a feeling or is there having any certain matter underneath it.
Look at our body.. !
In every moment, all bodies are in the process of deterioration. The body is only the collection of four elements of nature; earth, water, air and fire.
Look at our mind.. !
The mind is just the collections of thoughts and feelings. And all these thoughts and feelings are subject to change, temporary, unreliable and non-self.
When you consistently look at the truth in every moment of your life, you will be able to see the truth. Therefore, this truth will set you free from all your sufferings.
As it is never be “YOU” (as a Self) in the first place
and it will never be “YOU” (as a Self) all the way to the end.
I may respect and bow down Luangta’s kindness with all my heart.
