The timeless freedom under the presence of correct understanding or wisdom and compassion

This timeless freedom doesn't mean that there is completely no limitation, or no restriction, or no self control in all our thinking, action, and speech or expression, or we have completely no restriction (that is nothing to do with the creation and existence of the many unnecessary man made egoistic non-universal rules and regulations) to be existing, functioning, and living in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, in an infinite space of existence that is being shared momentarily among the many diverse objects and living organisms, individually and communally.

All and everyone and everything are limited and conditional, inevitably being limited by certain limitations and conditions, as well as selfless impermanent changes internally and externally, governed under the nature's law of cause and effect.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence of the mortal body and mind consisting of all kinds of individual and collective experiences, affairs, happenings, relationships, interactions, and activities are not necessarily the way that the different minds would like it to be, or the way that the different minds perceive as pleasant, desirable, agreeable, or enjoyable.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all and everyone and everything are inevitably inter-connected to one another, inter-supporting and inter-impacting one another.

It is inevitable that there are certain limitation and condition while being existing and functioning selflessly and momentarily in and sharing this space of existence that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, especially under the existence of the many different minds that are functioning under the presence of ignorance, that generate many ideas/desires/beliefs/values/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions/aspirations/ambitions that are impacting oneself, others, and the surrounding environment in certain way.

There are certain limitation existing in the body and the mind, where the body and mind cannot do certain things, or the mind cannot understand or doesn't know how to do certain things. And it's okay.

There are certain limitation and condition existing in the surrounding environment, where all and everyone and everything cannot completely be free/unlimited/unrestricted/unconditioned to be what all and everyone desire to be and not to be. And it's okay.

The moment there is attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation arising and coming from the selfless thinking and acting faculty being generated towards the possibilities and impossibilities in the body and mind and the surrounding environment, in NOW, there arise the perception or notion of "I am not free."

Upon the absence of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation in the mind, while there is respect and acceptance coming from the selfless thinking and acting faculty towards the body and mind and the surrounding environment being what it is, inevitably being limited by certain limitation and condition, where the body and mind cannot understand or do certain things, in NOW, where the selfless thinking and acting faculty doesn't force the body and mind beyond its limitation to be doing something that the body and mind cannot understand and cannot do, that is not possible, in NOW, there is no perception or notion of "I am not free."

Under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, where the mind understand that there are many things are limited by certain limitation and condition, as well as there are many minds are being limited by certain limitation, condition, and non-understanding, where certain things are not necessarily available in accordance to one's desire and don't desire, as well as certain minds are not necessarily thinking/understanding/behaving/acting/reacting in the way that is in accordance to one's agreements and disagreements, or that is unselfish, or non-possessive, or reasonable, or logical, or constructive, or beneficial for all and everyone unconditionally and indiscriminately, where the mind doesn't need to be determined or disturbed by the non-availability of certain things under certain inevitable limitation and condition, as well as the existing of certain unreasonable thinking/understanding/behavior/action/reaction of certain minds under the presence of certain inevitable limitation, condition, and non-understanding, but respecting and accepting all and everyone and everything being what they are and what they are not, as they are, there is no perception or notion of "I am not free."

This timeless freedom is always there as it is, where there is absence of the perception or notion of, "I am not free," even if the mind that is functioning under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, decides and chooses to not doing, or not saying, or not expressing something that is non-conducive or non-constructive for maintaining the peace and harmony in oneself and in the surrounding environment, and choosing not to be doing, not to be saying, or not to be expressing something that will be empowering the non-understanding, or the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance in the many minds in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, but choosing to perform certain action, to be doing, or saying, or expressing, or disseminating something that will be conducive, constructive, and beneficial for all and everyone and everything in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, to have more peace and harmony under the absence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, a.k.a. the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion.

It is insanity, but there were, and there are many minds would think and believe that it is 'easier' or 'more efficient' to control all the other minds to behave or not behaving in certain way, by keeping all minds as ignorant as possible, to be not knowing many things as they are, while to be fed with many untruthful manipulative story telling, to not questioning towards anything, especially towards the 'authorized' authority/authorization/head/leader/mystical superior powerful figure or entity, but to be conditioned to think and believe in certain way and to behave/act/react and desire in certain way, being conditioned under certain belief/values/practice, to be completely submissive and fearful towards the 'easily be offended and violent' prideful possessive ambitious authority/authorization/head/leader/mystical superior powerful figure or entity, within a family/tribe/community/organization/country/world/belief, to be threatened, oppressed, restricted, manipulated, and controlled under the many man made rules and regulations along with the painful disciplinary punishment upon the rules and regulations are being offended.

Many of these minds that are thinking and believing in such way, and there will be more and more minds would be thinking and believing in such way, it is not because they are what they are, or they are being born to think and believe and behave in such way, it is because they are and have been continuously being impacted, hammered, disappointed, threatened, disturbed, confused, frustrated, and exhausted by the existence of all kinds of untruthfulness/hypocrisy/discrimination and evitable man made suffering in the surrounding environment in the world, deriving from ignorant human's affairs/activities/behaviors arising under the influence of ignorance and its by-products.

The more the minds are thinking and believing and supporting ignorant practices in such way, the more frustration, desperation, suffering, and disturbance will be arising in the world that will impact all and everyone, including they themselves who support such way of thinking, beliefs, ideas, values, desires, aspirations, and practices.

That is why it is so extremely important and precious to be having the conscious mind awareness to be aware of and to be doubting/inquiring/investigating towards what is happening internally in the body and mind, and externally in the surrounding environment in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, as well as the opportunity and possibility of conscious mind evolution, even if all and everyone and everything are selfless and impermanent, to attain direct self realization towards the truth of all and everything. It is not easy and it is challenging, but it is possible for the selfless self-aware minds that have intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, to be free from all that madness that are being fed by ignorance, and that are feeding ignorance, of a loop that seems to be infinite and unbreakable, but it is POSSIBLE for each individual selfless mind to be free from that via self initiation and self effort.

There is no infinite existence of an immortal 'I' that exists in the selfless body and mind, that needs to be liberated, or needs to be free, or has the freewill for anything, however, the selfless impermanent limited and conditional thinking and acting faculty of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical structure, that is functioning under the influence of ignorance, that perceives all kinds of suffering and disturbance, that is in need of liberation, that needs to be free, that has the 'limited and conditional' conscious freewill to be deciding and choosing what and how it wants or doesn't want to do with the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty via the selfless organs of action of the selfless physical structure, that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself.

 

Even though there is the existence of certain limitation and condition, or restriction, or self control, or self filtering towards all one's physical and mental actions, speech, and expression under the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion in oneself, where oneself understands that there are certain minds don't have the correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion, where the many minds are functioning under the presence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, where the thinking/understanding/reasoning/behavior/action/reaction/desire of the many minds are not necessarily reasonable and constructive and beneficial for all and everyone and everything unconditionally and indiscriminately, where the many minds are thinking/understanding/reasoning/behaving/acting/reacting/desiring in the way that are selfish, possessive, discontent, greedy, impatient, disrespecting, intolerant, non-accommodating, disturbing, discriminating, violent, hurtful, and destructive unto all and everyone and everything, and hence, one decides and chooses to be doing and not doing something respectively in accordance to what is constructive and beneficial for all and everyone and everything, and vice versa, universally, unconditionally, and indiscriminately.

It is one's freedom of choice (not being forced, or threatened, or restricted, or oppressed by some others, under the existence of many unnecessary man made rules and regulations), of choosing what one wants to do or doesn't want to do, while respecting and accepting the possibility and impossibility of what can or cannot be done physically and/or mentally in NOW, beyond the existence of certain inevitable limitation and condition in oneself, and in others and the surrounding environment.

This is the 'limited and conditional' freewill that exist under the presence of conscious mind awareness devoid of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, as there is the existence of inevitable limitation to be choosing (conscious self control) what type of action, speech, and expression, being limited by the existence of certain inevitable existing condition.

The presence of conscious self control under the presence of correct understanding to be filtering and choosing what type of action/reaction, speech, and expression, to help the world of ignorance and egoism to have more peace and wisdom, is indeed the highly precious 'limited and conditional' freewill, not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of ignorance in this world to also become ignorant, or behaving/acting/reacting ignorantly like all the others that are functioning under the influence of ignorance. 

Even if it is 'limited and conditional' freewill, but it is highly precious and essential that can be promoting more peace and harmony, while less unnecessary evitable disturb and suffering in oneself, and in this world of diversity that is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

The presence of the correct understanding towards, "Even when there is none having any intention to be generating any action, speech, or expression that meant to be deliberately disturbing, offending, disrespecting, humiliating, belittling, or hurting anyone or anything, but there are many minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, that don't have the correct understanding, that are lack of wisdom and compassion, where many of these unrest disturbed impure egoistic minds would perceive and react towards many things that they dislike and disagree with under their own particular thinking, belief, values, desires, and practices as something disturbing, offensive, disrespectful, humiliating, belittling, or hurting towards them, either individually and/or collectively, due to the presence of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in themselves," is freedom.

"I don't want to do, or say, or express anything that will hurt myself, and others, and the surrounding environment, intentionally, even if it is possible for me to do, or say, or express whatever and whenever." That is one's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

"I want to do, or say, or express something that will be conducive and beneficial for myself, and others, and the surrounding environment, if it's possible. I don't have to do, or say, or express anything if it is not possible for me to do, or say, or express anything, in NOW, that is impermanent." That is also one's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

The mind chooses to move away from the non-conducive, hurtful, violent, and destructive family, relationship, community, environment, or area and space, to be looking after the physical and mental well being of this body and mind, is also it's own freedom of thinking/understanding/desire/choice.

Regardless of what the body and mind do or don't/can't do, what the body and mind say or don't/can't say, what the body and mind express or don't/can't express, where the body and mind go or don't/can't go, where the body and mind is and is not, and what the body and mind can be and cannot be, regardless of under the presence of certain limitation and condition in oneself and/or in the surrounding environment, the mind is always at peace as it is. The mind is not being determined or disturbed by all that. Because it understands. Because it understands that there are many other minds don't understand, that gives rise to many kinds of unnecessary limitation and condition that are inconvenient, unpleasant, or hurtful unto oneself and all the others and the surrounding environment.

It is one's freedom of choice, action, thinking, and understanding to be free and peaceful as one is, no matter what, being undetermined or undisturbed by any existing limitation and condition or impossibility, in NOW, that is impermanent.

It is one's freedom of choice, action, desire, thinking, and understanding, whether one wants to do something to be free from ignorance, and to have correct understanding, or not.

The minds that have correct understanding, that is functioning under the presence of wisdom and compassion, they won't be determined or disturbed by anyone or anything, not to say, to react and feel being offended, disrespected, humiliated, belittled, intimidated, threatened, oppressed, discriminated, or hurt by anyone or anything, even if some minds are deliberately generating action, speech, or expression that are meant to be deliberately offending, disrespecting, humiliating, belittling, intimidating, threatening, oppressing, discriminating, or hurting the others under certain intentions or desires, deriving from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

They won't waste any energy or effort a.k.a the non-self precious life existence and function into all kinds of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance in this world of human beings that are mostly functioning under the veil of ignorance, that direct their entire momentary life existence to be focusing on empowering deeper ignorance in themselves and in others.

That is freedom, even under the presence of certain inevitable limitation and condition of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence and function of the finite mortal body and mind that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the finite mortal body and mind itself, being momentarily existing and functioning in this world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, where there are many things that the body and mind don't do or cannot do, or don't know and can't understand, physically and/or mentally, that are impermanent.

The timeless freedom that is always there, as it is, in all and everyone, that never appear or disappear, that never increase or decrease, that is unlimited and unconditional, that is unveiled upon the absence of ignorance, or upon the presence of correct understanding, or wisdom and compassion.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

The world of advanced science and technology and the path of yoga and buddhism, or self inquiry and self realization

The path of yoga and buddhism to be purifying and quieting the mind, to be performing meditation practice and self inquiry for annihilating the veil of ignorance, to be attaining direct self realization towards the dhamma, does not go against the advanced science and technology in the world at all, and vice versa, but contrary, both of them complimenting one another.

Just as the path of yoga and buddhism or the teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism can be contaminated and misused, the world of knowledge and information deriving from advanced science and technology can also be contaminated and misused by the minds that are functioning under the veil of ignorance and its by-products.

The uncontaminated scientific fact, or information, or knowledge deriving from the genuine research and discovery under the help of advanced science and technology will only be supporting the validity of the dhamma as it is, and vice versa. Because they are not different or separated from one another.

The world of knowledge and information deriving from advanced science and technology is neither good nor bad, as it can be used for something constructive or destructive. While the world of yoga and buddhism also can be used by the minds for something constructive or destructive.

Meanwhile, the knowledge and information deriving from advanced science and technology can be used for something constructive and beneficial for all and everyone, unconditionally and indiscriminately, by the minds that are free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, upon attaining direct self realization towards the truth about the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all and everything, or the dhamma, via genuine yoga and/or buddhism practices, or some other kinds of genuine teachings and practices under different names and forms.

Genuine scientists/biologists/physiologists/chemists/physicists/psychologists/mathematicians, and so on, are not different or separated from adept yoga and/or buddhism practitioners. The names and forms, and the identification of 'yogi' and/or 'buddhist' don't really exist in the minds that truly practice yoga and/or buddhism as it is.

Similarly, being a scientist/biologist/physiologist/chemist/physicist/psychologist/mathematician, and so on, that is highly intelligent and knowledgeable, and being a yoga and/or buddhism practitioner, that has been accumulating huge amount of practice and knowledge about yoga and buddhism, doesn't necessarily mean that the mind is also free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, a.k.a. the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, unless the mind attains direct self realization towards the dhamma of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, not being conditioned by all kinds of worldly passionate egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, behaviors, actions, reactions, desires, aspirations, and visions.

Yoga and buddhism is all about knowing the truth of the (life) existence and function of the body and mind, of the existence and function of all kinds of sentient and non-sentient living organisms and non-living objects, in this infinite space of the vast universe, a.k.a. the science of life existence and function and the surrounding living atmosphere or environment that are inter-connected and inter-supporting and inter-impacting one another to be existing and functioning momentarily in this infinite beginningless and endless space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, via direct self realization through self inquiry under the help of several 'tools' of the different physical and mental practices that are being carried out under certain essential observations to be purifying and sharpening the conscious intellectual reasoning power as well as quieting the restless modification of the mind or the mind stuff, or the knower (the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty under the presence of conscious mind awareness) and the receiver/reflector/storage of knowledge (the mind stuff or the modification of the mind), operating under the selfless support of the selfless energy and the different selfless elements, that is all about science and the different branches of science.

They appeared to be two separate extremity contradicting towards and going against one another for many minds, is due to the minds, including some minds that are practicing specific type or lineage of yoga and/or buddhism, would think and believe that the path of yoga and buddhism, and their teachings and practices are something spiritual, that it is about spirituality, and even more so, many minds that don't know and don't practice yoga and/or buddhism would think and believe that yoga and buddhism is something religious, or is a form of religion, because of the existence of certain rituals and prayers, or chanting, or worshiping, or glorifying, and the many different stories/myths, or images, or statues of the 'creator of the universe', or the 'gods or deities', or the 'buddhas', or the 'enlightened saints and sages', or the 'yogis' and the 'gurus', that exist under the existence/manifestation of the many different paths/lineages/schools that have their own particular purpose of existence and function for catering the many different personalities and characteristics in the many different individuals or communities.

The truth or the dhamma can be realized by the genuine truth seekers either under the absence or presence of all those names and forms that are neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad. It doesn't matter whether the minds want to think, believe, and refer it as something 'spiritual' or 'non-spiritual'. As whether the minds think and believe it is 'spiritual' or 'non-spiritual', it doesn't determine whether the minds are free from ignorance and its by-products, or not. It is about going beyond all kinds of names and forms, or duality, where all kinds of names and forms, or dualities, are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

It is about the presence or absence of non-grasping, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation, that is determining whether the minds realize or couldn't realize the truth or the dhamma, as it is.

It is understandable that why there is such confusion.

Upon direct self realization towards the dhamma, the mind will know that yoga and buddhism is not different from one another even though they appeared to be under different names and forms, and the origin/existence/function/purpose/objective of yoga and buddhism is nothing to do with spirituality and/or religion.

Although, there is neither right nor wrong for the minds that are still not free from the influence of ignorance, where they perceive, recognize, think, and refer the teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism as a form of spirituality or religion, if not, there is the intentional or unintentional desire to transform yoga and buddhism into a form of spirituality and/or religion.

Because most minds are being internally (genetically/biologically) and externally conditioned by, or deep rooted in, or coming in contact with the many different worldly egoistic spiritual and/or religious ideas, beliefs, values, practices, desires, aspirations, and visions, consciously (wittingly) and/or unconsciously (unwittingly), where they are being conditioned to think and believe that all and everyone in the world of human beings cannot live or function without the existence and function of spirituality and/or religion, or more precisely, a specific system consists of specific beliefs, values, practices, and visions, that creates the power of influence/manipulation/control/authorization over the majority of the human beings, if not all human beings, to be thinking, believing, reasoning, desiring, aspiring, behaving, acting, or reacting in certain way and not in certain way, to be controlled under certain rules and regulations, as well as deserving punishments or rewards, in accordance to the desires and don't desires, or the agreements and disagreements of the specific individuals, leaders, heads of the family and/or communities, and carried out by an authority of one single person and/or a group of people.

The significant difference between the non-universal worldly beliefs, values, practices, aspirations, and visions in the many different communities, and the universal teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism for all minds indiscriminately, is that the non-universal worldly beliefs, values, practices, aspirations, and visions have the common aspiration and vision or practice of converting or recruiting as many members as possible, including the non-by choice autonomous identity of specific spirituality inherited by birth, where renouncing, or abandoning, or non-observing the inherited spirituality by birth is 'sinful and punishable', as well as the enforcement of non-questioning towards the truth of the specific spirituality/belief, the teachings and the practices, and the authority/the leaders/the teachers under certain threatening or fearful judgment, disciplinary, and punishment, while the universal teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism don't have such aspiration and vision or practice at all, except maybe in certain lineage of yoga and/or buddhism that were/are being contaminated by some worldly egoistic impure minds functioning under certain impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, aspirations, visions, and practices.

Such as, the nature's law of cause and effect, or the teachings of selflessness and impermanence, or the practice of selfless service, or the practice of letting go, non-attachment, non-craving, non-aversion, non-judgment, and non-expectation, or the practice of silence, are being misused by certain minds under certain lineage of yoga and/or buddhism to be threatening and/or even abusing/bullying the yoga and/or buddhism practitioners or the public that were/are in some kinds of suffering, confusion, and desperation, who were/are seeking certain knowledge, love, support, understanding, acknowledgement, acceptance, agreement, and comfort, for manipulating and controlling them to behave or not behaving in certain way, by sowing fear into the minds under the belief of good and bad KARMA and the belief of 'ceaseless loop of endless reincarnation', especially endless reincarnating repeatedly back into the superior higher realm of human beings that are full of all kinds of fleeting momentary goodness and enjoyments, as well as painful sorrow and suffering that are inevitable, due to the nature of impermanence, and that are evitable, inflicted by or generated under ignorance, not to say, to be reincarnating into the unpleasant inferior lower realms of animal, Asura, hungry ghost, and hell, or even, the existence of many other sub-realms under specific lineage of buddhism, while even the highest superior realm of the pleasant, enjoyable, and desirable heaven under huge accumulation of virtues and merits of good KARMA, which is also an impermanent transition that will come to an end upon the exhaustion of the accumulated good KARMA, and eventually will be reincarnating into other inferior realms accordingly, because of the inevitable endless generation and accumulation of KARMA. - Which is not at all the truth of what 'restless reincarnation/manifestation of the countless illusive ideas of 'I' that are non-self, manifesting under different names and forms attaching unto and identifying with all the selfless impermanent mind stuff or thought activities in this particular selfless impermanent modification of this selfless thinking faculty/conscious mind awareness, transitioning under different realms/states of mind, in NOW' in the teachings of yoga and buddhism is about.

And hence, many of the existing teachings, practices and observations were/have been/are continuously being contaminated by or being mixed with the many different worldly egoistic cultural and spiritual beliefs, values, practices, observations, desires, aspirations, and visions, because that is one of the most significant common behaviors of the many minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness. Where the passionate egoistic impure restless minds naturally/instinctively want to take possession/ownership, to take control, to influence, to manipulate, and to transform all and everything to be the way that one desires and not being the way that one doesn't desire.

It also depends on what the minds think and believe what does 'spirituality' mean. It might mean slightly or largely different for different minds under the different degrees of understanding and knowledge, under the different intentions and desires.

Some minds think and believe that 'spirituality' and 'religion' is the same thing, while some minds think and believe that they are two different things, where 'spirituality' doesn't necessarily have to be something 'religious', while 'religion' is not necessarily related to 'spirituality'.

Many minds believe in the existence of the countless different infinite independent individual existences of the countless different immortal and pure spirits or souls existing in all kinds of momentary mortal life existence of the many different impure and imperfect sentient living organisms existing under the many different names and forms, and even, residing in certain non-sentient living organisms and non-living objects, or things, or mountains, or plants, or space, or water, or fire, or ocean and river, or caves, or buildings, or the sky, or all and everything, and so on, as what 'spirituality' is about.

Where certain minds think and believe that 'spirituality' is universal while 'religion' is non-universal, that 'spirituality' is more real and authentic than 'religion', or vice versa. And certain religions consist and embrace 'spirituality', while certain religions are against 'spirituality'.

There are many amazing selfless natural manifestations of the nature, as well as certain internal physical and mental biological condition that the minds couldn't comprehend, where the minds would just refer such manifestations as 'spiritual', or 'mystical', or 'miracle', or 'supernatural', or 'trance', and even, 'possessed'.

There are also many personal, family, and community affairs/happenings/conditions/situations/interactions/relationships, or the physical and mental illness/injury/weakness/complication/limitation/disability, or the death of the beloved ones, that are imperfect, unexpected, unpleasant, disagreeable, undesirable, hurtful, or painful, as well as many things that the minds don't understand and don't desire, where the minds would just justify all that as unexplainable 'Interference, or interception, or influence, or possession, or activity deriving from something non-human beings, or spiritual/mystical/alien/foreign entity'.

In the end, it is neither spiritual nor non-spiritual, upon the mind attains direct self-realization towards attributelessness, namelessness, formlessness, non-duality, and oneness. Where whatever that is happening/coming/going/manifesting in the selfless impermanent limited and conditional restless modification of the mind that is non-self, of whatever the minds know and don't know, understand or don't understand, desire or don't desire, agree or disagree, of all kinds of qualities of all kinds of names and forms, are all not different from one another.

Just as the sentient or non-sentient living organisms and the non-living objects are all not different from one another, where all and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, existing and functioning only for a momentary duration, and are governed by the nature's law of cause and effect to be arising, changing, decaying, disintegrating, and passing away, being what all and everything are, as they are.

There are (too many) worldly cultural and spiritual or religious beliefs, values, and practices have been mixed into the path of yoga and/or buddhism, or into the teachings, practices, and observations of yoga and buddhism.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha already knew what is and will be happening, and he did what he could be doing during his momentary life existence, to be delivering the dhamma, as it is, no more and no less, and laid down a few essential and simple advice or guidance, or the teachings and practices or observations for engaging in the practical mind purification and silencing process, meditation, and self inquiry in everyday life, for the minds to pick up, practice, purify, quiet down, meditate, contemplate, reflect, inquire, and realize the dhamma directly by the minds themselves, at their own cause and own pace.

All kinds of ceaseless accumulation/add on of all kinds of complicated rules and regulations, of countless layer and layer of thick and cross contamination over the original simple teachings and practices and observations of the dhamma, were/have been/are being created/introduced/added onto the teachings and practices and observations of yoga and buddhism, by the passionate egoistic impure restless minds that were/are functioning under the veil of ignorance and its by-products, either intentionally or unintentionally.

There is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad.

That is why the most basic and essential teaching and practice in yoga and buddhism is about non-blind believing/non-blind following/non-blind-agreeing or disagreeing/non-blind practicing/non-blind propagating/non-admiring/non-glorifying/non-worshiping/non-praying/non-ritual, to be activating/initiating the process of self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, including all the teachings and practices of yoga and buddhism coming from anyone and anywhere.

Because the dhamma is in all and everyone and everything and everywhere, within and without. The dhamma is infinite, timeless, causeless, unlimited, and unconditional.

All minds, including the most restless, ignorant, disturbed, evil, and violent minds (unless there is completely absence or no presence of consciousness, where there is no conscious perception/distinction of pleasurable enjoyment or painful suffering, where liberation from ignorance or painful suffering doesn't exist, or is unnecessary), as long as there is self initiation and the intense yearning for knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, all can access to the simple and straightforward dhamma as it is, all by oneself, just by looking within.

All and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. 

Even though there have been/are so much contamination, but all these all time contamination cannot determine, or damage, or hurt, or change, or increase/decrease, or limit, or destroy the dhamma as it is, or the truth of things as it is, however, the many different contaminated teachings and practices are what the minds coming in contact with, and hence, the minds would think and believe that, that is what yoga and buddhism teachings and practices is about.

"The only book that one should be reading, is within oneself." - Ajahn Chah

Both yoga and buddhism are also 'sort of' originated from a land or an area called 'India', where the people are called 'Indian', and 'Hinduism' is the main spiritual belief and practice, or religion. Where certain minds would think and believe that yoga and buddhism are the branches of Hinduism. Most minds would think and believe that yoga and/or buddhism were born after and under the existence of Hinduism, that they come from and belong to the names and forms of India, Indian, Hinduism, Hindu, or particular 'deity'/'entity'/'yogi'/'buddha', or particular enlightened being.

There is neither right nor wrong about that either. Because there are lots of the teachings and practices, especially the many stories telling created by the many different minds under certain understanding and intention, are sort of 'inter-sharing' among Hinduism, Buddhism, and Yoga Vedanta.

If the mind attains direct self realization towards the dhamma, it also knows that the dhamma doesn't have a beginning or an end. It exists as what it is. It is what things are, as they are. It is not an idea or a creation of the mind. More importantly, the dhamma can never be contaminated, influenced, affected, determined, hurt, damaged, altered, changed, manipulated, increased or decreased, limited, or destroyed by anything. It is only the 'recorded' or 'conserved' dhamma/teachings/practices under certain names and forms that can be 100% contaminated, influenced, affected, determined, hurt, damaged, altered, changed, manipulated, increased or decreased, limited, or destroyed by something and anything.

That's why Siddhartha Gautama Buddha never interested in 'conserving' the dissemination of the teachings or the dhamma into certain names and forms, and he insisted that any 'conserved' dhamma/teachings/practices under certain names and forms, must have the term of 'Thus have I heard', or 'Thus as I heard', in the beginning of all kinds of teachings, because it might not be the dhamma/the teachings/the practices as it is, that it might not be completely true, or even, it might be completely not true, but more importantly, that naturally initiates any minds to be performing self inquiry towards the truth of everything upon coming in contact with the teachings or the dhamma that are being conserved and exist under certain names and forms.

Even Swami Sivananda Guruji, had mentioned repeatedly many times in many of his books, emphasizing on Self inquiry and direct experience and self realization towards the truth of everything - "Purify. Meditate. Realize." and "Do not build ashrams. Do not hoard disciples. Do not mix. Live alone. Eat alone. Walk alone. Meditate alone."

Regardless of whether 'Hinduism', or 'Buddhism', or 'Yoga' was being manifested and have been existing earlier or later, is non-essential, as 'Hinduism', or 'Buddhism', or 'Yoga' are not even Hinduism, or Buddhism, or Yoga.

Yoga or buddhism, or the dhamma as it is, doesn't come from or belong to anyone or anything.

It is the dhamma as it is, that is always here and everywhere, being realized by the minds under a purified and calmed modification of the mind, not being conditioned by any worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices to reason everything, regardless of whether the minds were/are existing, or coming from, or living, or carrying certain names and forms in any specific era, or area, or continent, or family lineage, or community, or culture, or spirituality, or religion, or none of that.

While the original teachings and practices of 'Hinduism', or 'Buddhism', or 'Yoga', were/are being influenced or contaminated by the many worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, aspirations, visions, and practices, as well as inter-contaminating one another. It doesn't matter which existed first before the other, or which has been contaminating the other or being contaminated by the other first, and it doesn't mean that the earliest manifestation of any particular belief, values, and practice is the most authentic one, or the truth of things, as it is.

Worldly egoistic beliefs/values/desires/practices/ways of living/ways of doing things/behaviors/actions/reactions have always been existing since the beginning of the existence and function of mind stuffs and mind consciousness that exists under the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical structure under certain names and forms, that are non-self.

It is upon coming in contact with suffering and doubt, the minds started to inquire the truth of many things under the intense yearning towards knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, that gives rise to the realization towards the dhamma, as well as gives rise to the path, or the teachings and practices and observations that is accessible for all the others that are also in certain suffering and doubt, that also want to inquire and know the truth of all and everything, or the timeless dhamma as it is, that doesn't come from or belong to anyone or anything.

For the minds that have attained direct self realization towards the truth of the mind stuff, or knowing Thyself, or the truth of all and everything that is arising and passing away, or coming and going in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, of all and everything that the mind comes in contact with, or perceives, or experiences, regardless of pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, agreeable or disagreeable, enjoyable or painful, where all and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, they also know that yoga and buddhism are universal, neither spiritual nor non-spiritual, and it doesn't even come from or belong to the names and forms that exist on the planet Earth, not to say, it didn't come from and don't belong to any particular era, or area, or country, or continent, or people, or being, or spirituality, or religion.

It is universal, and it cannot be limited or conditioned by any quality of names and forms.

It exists in all and everyone and everything, regardless of all and everyone under the presence of the selfless universal conscious mind awareness realized or don't realize towards that.

The dhamma, or the teachings, is in all and everything and everywhere.

The selfless impermanent limited and conditional body and mind that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to itself, is its own one and only genuine teacher or guru.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.

Inquire towards good and bad karma that exists in certain cultural and spiritual beliefs

Many minds might be misunderstood the worldly egoistic belief of good and bad karma that exists in certain culture and spirituality, or religion, is the same as the nature's law of cause and effect.

Under such ignorance, the minds also misunderstood the worldly egoistic belief of reincarnation, is the same as the inevitable selfless impermanent limited and conditional restless changes that are non-self, that exist in all and everyone and everything.

The minds need to know that the belief of good and bad karma that belongs to certain culture and spirituality, or religion, is NOT the nature's law of cause and effect.

The minds need to know that the belief of reincarnation that belongs to certain culture and spirituality, or religion, is NOT the selfless impermanent limited and conditional restless changes that are non-self, that are inevitable, regardless of in the living organisms or in the non-living objects.

Meanwhile, there is the selfless manifestation of a continuous stream of the countless ideas of an illusive self identity of 'I' under different impermanent ever-changing forms, or qualities, or conditions (attaching unto and identifying with the selfless impermanent ever-changing different forms/qualities/conditions of the selfless impermanent life existence/function/experiences of the body and mind as 'I'), that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless impermanent impure restless modification of the mind, transitioning under different realms or states of mind, in NOW, of the ceaseless and restless births and deaths of countless thoughts/ideas/feelings/emotions/actions/reactions/activities that give rise to the different realms or states of mind, where the ceaseless restless births and deaths of countless manifestations of thought after thought in the selfless modification of the mind can come to a stand still in silence, upon the annihilation of the mind stuff, a.k.a. the loop of ceaseless and restless births and deaths under different forms/qualities/conditions transitioning under different realms/states of mind, ceased existing.

The many different realms that exist or manifest within the selfless modification of the mind, are the reflection of the many different states of mind in the many different minds in this world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, in NOW.

Which then allowing the self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of the belief of good and bad karma, as well as the belief of reincarnation that exist in certain culture and spirituality or religion to be happening.

 

The nature's law of cause and effect is not a 'creation', or an 'idea', or a 'belief, values, and practice'. It is what things are and how things are, as they are, and it is universal, devoid of subjective discrimination, or judgment, or the qualities of good and bad or right and wrong based on all the different kinds of beliefs, values, and practices, that exist under the many different types of names and forms.

Mango seed gives rise to mango tree, mango flower, and mango fruit.

Mango seed doesn't give rise to any other kind of trees, flowers, and fruits, that are not the mango trees, that are not the mango flowers, and that are not the mango fruits.

The mango seed, and all the other kinds of different seeds, are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

The selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self momentary existence of a mango seed has no intention, or 'initial desire', or 'initial downfall', or 'initial sin', to be arising as or to be manifested into a 'mango seed' that gives rise to 'mango tree, mango flower, and mango fruit.'

The mango seed didn't exist until it is being formed or manifested as what it is, selflessly, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and selfless elements, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

The manifestation of a mango seed is not due to good, or bad, or neither good nor bad neutral KARMA.

The suns, the planets, the stars, the moons, the atmosphere, the nature, the water, the earth, the air, the heat, or the space, and all and everything that exist, change, decay, and ceased existing, are not because of there is the existence of good, or bad, or neither good nor bad neutral KARMA. All and everything arising and changing and passing away under the influence of the selfless energy and all kinds of selfless elements is not due to good, or bad, or neither good nor bad neutral KARMA. 

The selfless energy and selfless elements don't generate good karma when all and everything are existing because of the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements. Similarly, they don't generate bad karma when all and everything are changing and ceased existing or passing away because being influenced by either the excess or insufficient availability of the selfless energy and elements being what they are, as they are. But, all and everything are being what they are, as they are, under the influence of the nature's law of cause and effect, that is attributeless, that is unconditional and indiscriminate, that is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

The selfless mango seed gives rise to one particular selfless mango tree, that gives rise to many selfless individual mango flowers, that give rise to many selfless individual mangoes, where the internal genetic condition as well as the external surrounding condition is influencing the entire evolution process from the seed to become a tree that have flowers and fruits, or not, is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that doesn't even belong to the seed, or the tree, or the flowers, or the fruits. And, that particular seed, that particular tree, all the different particular flowers, and all the different particular fruits, are having their own particular cause and effect to be arising, changing, decaying, and passing away in certain way or not in certain way.

This particular seed, this particular tree, and all the different individual flowers and fruits of this particular tree deriving from this particular seed, only has a certain limited duration of existence and being what they are, as they are, and they all don't even belong to themselves.

All kinds of different types of seeds being what they are, is fixed. It is what it is. But the evolution or the selfless impermanent changes of all and everyone and everything, are not fixed. It is conditional, depending on what is available or non-available, in NOW.

It is the same as all kinds of names and forms. All are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

The existence of the many different varieties of mango seeds, are also neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong. 

The cause that gives rise to the specific effect, is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

All kinds of different causes that give rise to their respective effects, are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

The entire process from the cause evolving or coming into effect, is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

There is no existence of any specific permanent independent individual self identity or self existence of an infinite 'I' that exists in any kind of names and forms, to be undergoing the selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional and non-self process of all kinds different manifestation and evolution under the different causes and effects.

All and everyone and everything are subject to the nature's law of cause and effect to be evolving in certain way and not in certain way.

All are subject to arising or forming, changing, decaying or aging, and disintegrating, decomposing, or passing away, selflessly, impermanently, limitedly, conditionally, and non-self, that doesn't belong to the names and forms themselves, regardless of all the different qualities of names and forms, regardless of sentient or non-sentient living organisms, or non-living objects. That is universal.

Meanwhile,

The belief of good and bad karma, is a 'creation', or an 'idea', or a 'belief, values, and practice' that was being created, and is existing under the condition and influence of the subjective discrimination or judgment towards the quality of what is good or bad and what is right or wrong, based on certain worldly egoistic cultural and spiritual, or religious ideas, beliefs, values, desires, visions, aspirations, and practices.

The belief of good and bad karma gives rise to as well as being empowered by the belief of "Ceaseless beginningless and endless reincarnations of a specific permanent independent individual self identity or self existence of an infinite immortal 'I' being reincarnated into ceaseless and countless finite mortal life existences under different forms, transitioning in the different realms or spheres, being powered and determined by the countless and endless good and/or bad KARMA as well as neither good nor bad neutral KARMA in an infinite loop that seems to be endless, that can never come to an end, where all kinds of painful suffering as well as pleasurable enjoyments, or the restless impermanent changes of any particular immortal self identity/existence of an infinite immortal 'I', will be continuously and ceaselessly carrying forward to the endless next and next reincarnations to be exhausting/burning off the endless and boundless KARMA, that is IMPOSSIBLE to be exhausted as it always keeps accumulating."

The belief of good and bad karma that leads to ceaseless and countless different reincarnations under different life existences or forms in different realms or spheres, is only limited to names and forms that come with the functions and organs of thinking, intention/desire, and actions under certain good or bad or neutral intentions/desires that generate endless countless and boundless good and/or bad karma as well as neither good nor bad neutral karma. Where 'liberation' to be liberated from the endless loop of the wheel of births and deaths, or the ceaseless 'reincarnation', is 'unreachable', or is absolutely not possible no matter what or how.

The direct self realization towards the belief of good and bad karma deriving from self inquiry, will also lead to the direct self realization towards the belief of reincarnation that exists in certain culture and spirituality, or religion, while it doesn't exist or valid in some other kinds of cultures and spiritualities, or religions.

The belief of good and bad KARMA, the belief of the endless and ceaseless loop of reincarnation, and the many other kinds of beliefs in the world of many diversities, are existing to be comforting the many confusing innocent minds that are undergoing certain inevitable biological and psychological suffering of the restless selfless impermanent changes of decay and disintegration and the ceaseless maintenance for life existence and function between birth and death, and the many different kinds of unnecessary evitable painful suffering inflicted by the selfish greedy prideful possessive ignorant minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, and to be justifying all THAT that are hurtful, destructive, and unreasonable affairs and behaviors, that could be avoided, that don't need to be happening at all, as well as to be justifying many things that the minds don't know and don't understand, in this world of human beings that are full of ignorance and egoism, that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

"You and your family are good people and don't do anything bad to anyone and have been doing many good things for everyone, but you all are in painful suffering because you are being ill treated, bullied, and hurt by some others, is because of your bad KARMA from past lives. And you all will be stop suffering and start enjoying all kinds of goodness and happiness in your next life existence."

"All these bad, wrongful, and hurtful people who are selfish, evil, possessive, greedy, discriminating, and violent, who are ill treating and hurting and destroying all and everyone and everything, while they are enjoying many pleasurable enjoyments, is because of their good karma from past lives. And they will be judged accordingly upon death, and they will suffer in their next life existence." 

All these names and forms are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong. Because there are many minds in this world are undergoing many different kinds of painful suffering need to be 'comforted' by certain 'justification' to feel better, even if it is not true. 

Similarly, the belief and values and practice of good and bad KARMA also gives the minds the justification to be justifying many man made punishable rules and regulations to create the power of control or authorization, to be 'controlling', 'oppressing', 'disciplining', or 'threatening' all and everyone and everything to be and not to be in certain way, in accordance to the desires and don't desires, agreements and disagreements, likes and dislikes of specific individuals or communities under specific belief, values, and practice.

Just as the ignorant egoistic authoritarian father(s) slap and punch the children, "You are living in my house. You are my children. You must behave in the way that I want you to behave. If you don't obey my rules and my desires, and go against my rules and desires, I will discipline and punish you. That is why I am now punishing you. You deserve to be disciplined and punished accordingly, so that you will behave exactly in the way that I want you to behave." Where that type of mentality and behavior exists in anywhere and everywhere. Complete madness deriving from the human beings that are mentally unwell.

However, it is upmost important for the minds that are seeking liberation from ignorance and suffering, to be performing self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything.

If the mind truly contemplates and inquires towards the teachings of yoga and/or buddhism under the purified and quiet modification of the mind, it will realize the truth of the many contaminated teachings and practices that exist in the world of yoga and/or buddhism, being contaminated by the minds that were/are functioning under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness. There is neither right nor wrong about the presence of ignorance and its by products in the many minds. It is a natural manifestation that exist or arise along the activation of the selfless impermanent restless thought process, or mental activities, or mind stuff.

There is no past or future next life existence. There is only ceaseless selfless impermanent limited and conditional changes in this particular life existence and function of this particular selfless body and mind, of ceaseless countless thoughts arising, changing, and passing away, of ceaseless births and deaths of countless ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, or activities, that give rise to or manifest the different states of mind or the different realms within the modification of the mind, under the influence of the nature's law of cause and effect, that are non-self, in NOW.

All kinds of evitable suffering in this world are inflicted by the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and its by-products, either wittingly or unwittingly, intentionally or unintentionally, in NOW. All the people who are undergoing certain kind of unpleasant, difficult, and painful affair, happening, ill-treatment, bullying, condition, and situation that are inhumane, cruel, hurtful, life threatening, and violent, that are evitable and unnecessary, it is not because they are deserving to be undergoing such painful suffering because of their previous boundless bad karma accumulated from their past lives (that are non-existing, that don't exist). All these inhumanity, cruelty, difficulty, desperation, violence, and hurtful life threatening affairs, happenings, ill-treatments, bullying, conditions, and situations don't need to be existing at all, if the minds, of all the different individuals in the different communities, especially the self-claimed, or elected, or appointed leaders and law makers, are free from the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

That is why the momentary existence and function of all and everyone and everything in the present moment, is highly precious, even when nothing is perfect, where all and everyone and everything are imperfect. Being alive, to have the mind conscious awareness and the functions and organs of thinking and action, that enables conscious mind evolution to be free from ignorance, and be able to make good use of this selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary life existence that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself, to be doing something beneficial for oneself and others and the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, unconditionally and indiscriminately, is the most precious thing, and the highest duty of mankind, in NOW.

Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-agree/disagree, blind-practice, or blind-propagate anything from anyone. 

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here. 

It is absolutely possible to be free and have peace

It is absolutely possible to be free and have peace.

The direct self realization towards, 

"All these are impermanent. All these will pass away."

On top of the non-grasping/non-clinging/non-judgment/non-expectation/non-violence towards whatever that are happening inside the body and mind and in the surrounding environment, in NOW.

That is the beginning as well as the end of liberation.

Liberation exists along the existence of any kind of suffering.

Liberation doesn't exist, or doesn't need to be existing, upon the presence of correct understanding or the absence of ignorance, where the mind is being undetermined by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are manifesting inside the body and mind, and in the surrounding environment.

Liberation exists, and is absolutely possible, upon the mind is not free, being in a state of disturbance, violence, and suffering, being determined and disturbed by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, regardless of due to internal biological/psychological influences or due to external conditions and situations.

If the mind perceives suffering, then there is absolutely possible for the attainment of liberation from suffering.

Because the manifestation or the perception of suffering is also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Because the manifestation of suffering is the effect of a cause. And all kinds of different effects of the different causes, regardless of physical or mental, oneself or others, pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable, are also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

All kinds of cause and effect will pass away.

All kinds of names and forms will pass away.

All forms of inevitable and evitable suffering will pass away, even if one doesn't make any effort to do anything about it.

All the individuals/communities/leaders/minds/human beings that are directly or indirectly responsible for inflicting and empowering all kinds of unnecessary evitable painful suffering in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, either wittingly or unwittingly, all will pass away.

The inevitable suffering that exists along under the momentary existence of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function of the mortal body and mind, that is non-self, will ceased existing upon the ceased existence of the mortal body and mind.

The evitable suffering that exists under the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence of the veil of ignorance in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, that is non-self, will also ceased existing upon the annihilation or the absence of the veil of ignorance in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, when the body and mind is still existing and functioning, in NOW.

It is solid fact, or science and mathematics. It is not a philosophy or unrealistic wishful thinking or fairy tales.

Even so, it is highly essential to free the mind from the veil of ignorance when the body and mind is still existing and functioning in NOW, so that the mind doesn't hurt (stops hurting) itself and others and the surrounding environment out of the disturbed, dissatisfied, discontented, violent, and suffering state of mind deriving from ignorance and its by-products during its momentary existence and function, that is impacting all and everyone and everything in certain way, regardless of significantly or insignificantly, directly or indirectly, that is absolutely unnecessary and evitable.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

Inquire towards neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong

Physical strength and flexibility and stamina is neither something good nor bad.

Similarly,

Mental strength and flexibility and stamina is also neither something good nor bad.

The limitation of the body and mind is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong.

All kinds of behaviors/actions/reactions being generated under certain limitation are neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong.

A person with a strong and flexible and fit physical body is not necessarily having a strong and flexible and fit mentality, and vice versa.

A person who is physically and/or mentally more strong, more flexible, and more fit than some other people doesn't mean that one is better, or wiser, or kinder, or happier than the others, and vice versa.

One can be using the existing higher degrees of physical strength, flexibility, and stamina to be doing something constructive or destructive. 

The body that is not strong enough, not flexible enough, and not fit enough to be doing certain physical activities, doesn't mean that it doesn't have the mental strength, mental flexibility, and mental fitness/stamina/endurance to be doing certain mental activities, and vice versa.

One can be using either physical and/or mental strength, flexibility, and stamina to be doing something either physical and/or mental activities that can be constructive or destructive.

Even 'constructive' and 'destructive' is also neither something good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

One can be constructing something beneficial for all and everyone, and destroying something that is harmful unto all and everyone or one can be constructing something harmful for all and everyone, while destroying something beneficial for all and everyone.

And what is 'beneficial' or 'harmful' can be subjective and different under the many different minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.

The very healthy, strong, flexible, and fit people and/or the highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable people might not be free from generating ideas/desires/behaviors/actions/reactions under the influence of ignorance, that would be hurtful unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment. That's why good or bad health and fitness condition as well as the degrees of intelligence, education, and knowledge, are neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. 

 

The body cannot do certain things because being limited by the existing physical limitation, is not something bad or wrong. A weak and ill physical body is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. It is what it is.

Similarly,

The mind cannot understand or do certain things because being limited by the existing mental limitation, is not something bad or wrong. A weak and ill mind is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. It is what it is.

 

The body can be limited by weakness, stiffness, and low fitness/stamina/endurance, or injury and sickness, for certain things or many things.

Similarly,

The mind can be limited by ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, and the non-development, or under development, or suppressed development, or insignificant, or non-availability of openness, clarity, calmness, kindness, reasoning, correct understanding, patience, forbearance, tolerance, perseverance, determination, willpower, self control, self awareness, self reliance, self initiative, self inquiry, self investigation, adaptation, adjustment, accommodation, acceptance, respect, non-possessiveness, non-attachment, or the ability to let go, for a healthier mentality and better understanding that gives rise to constructive and beneficial way of thinking/desire/behavior/action/reaction that benefit itself, others, and the surrounding environment.

Under the presence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, and under the absence or insufficiency of all those essential elements, or under such condition or limitation, the mind thinks/desires/behaves/acts/reacts in the way that are selfish and unkind, or hurtful and destructive, or unpleasant and disturbing unto itself, others, and the surrounding environment.

The mind just need to have self awareness towards all that, and have self initiative of want to be free from such condition or limitation, which is absolutely possible, under one's own effort and determination to be developing and empowering all those essential elements that are either absence or insignificant in itself, as well as to be activating and engaging in the mind purification and silencing process persistently to be annihilate the veil of ignorance, of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, that would be benefiting itself and others and the surrounding environment.

 

Most minds growing up being surrounded by many other minds that are limited by certain limitation, that are unwell or peaceless, regardless of whether in the family, or in the relationship, or in the community, on in the school, or in the work place, or in anywhere and everywhere, that behave in the way that are selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive. While many of these minds are confused, where they don't have the basic understanding towards the existence of all those selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive ideas/values/beliefs/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions that are hurting oneself and others and the surrounding environment, that are hurting them, and hence, eventually they also think/believe/desire/practice/behave/act/react like all those minds that are unwell or peaceless, that are selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive, as they are also being limited by certain limitation, and don't have the understanding towards what is happening in themselves and in all the other minds.

However,

The minds don't have to be like that. There is possibility for the minds to develop the essential understanding towards all that (biologically and psychologically, and beyond the body and mind*), to transcend all that, and not being determined, or disturbed, or hurt, or influenced and conditioned by all kinds of selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive ideas/values/beliefs/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions in the family, or in the relationship, or in the community, or in the school, or in the work place, or in anywhere and everywhere. The minds don't have to become like all the other minds that are unwell and peaceless.

More importantly, the minds don't have to be continuing standing/living there not moving away from the existence of all kinds of abusive ill-treatments deriving from the minds that are unwell and peaceless. Upon physical maturity/independence, the minds can move away from all that, even if they are one's parents/siblings or family, not to say, all the other minds that are unwell and peaceless, to be having the energy and the space for looking after the physical and mental well-being of oneself.

Only after oneself attains physical/mental/emotional maturity, or be free from being determined, or disturbed, or hurt, or influenced and conditioned by all those unwell and peaceless minds and their hurtful behavior, one can go back to look after all these unwell and peaceless minds, to help these minds to be free and have peace as well, if one desires, but one doesn't have to. While one also may or may not just do one's best to help all and everyone that are unwell and peaceless to be free and have peace, unconditionally and indiscriminately, without obligation, without egoism.

*As even enthusiastic and genuine biologists and psychologists that have been studying and learning and researching towards all kinds of information/facts about the body and mind, they are not necessarily being free from the veil of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, or the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, being conditioned deeply by certain inherited and adopted worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, visions, aspirations, and practices. However, under the existing accumulated knowledge or information about biology and psychology, there is advantage for them to go further on the path of self inquiry, to attain direct self realization towards all that, and be free from the veil of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

All kinds of community and world leaders or representatives, all the different types of teachers, trainers, and educators, all the highly intelligent and knowledgeable scholars/scientists/biologists/psychologists/engineers, all the partners and parents that have children or are going to have children, and all kinds of highly influential talented and creative influencers that significantly impact all and everyone and everything in certain way, as well as all the different individuals and communities, if they can just put down or put aside all kinds of personal and community identities even just for a few moments, to be genuinely quieting the restless modification of the mind, and practice meditation and perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything diligently, the world will have more peace and constructive development, rather than the existence of all kinds of selfishness, possessiveness, separateness, discrimination, bullying, intimidation, oppression, invasion, exploitation, greed, hatred, violence, cruelty, and painful suffering that are truly unnecessary and evitable.

The minds that are free from the veil of ignorance can truly serve humanity and help to promote individual/community/world peace in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, effectively.

 

Being disturbed and hurt by something, is neither bad or wrong. 

Being unhappy and disappointed, is neither bad or wrong.

Being upset and angry, is neither bad or wrong.

Having fear and worry, is neither bad or wrong. 

Being violent and destructive out of disturbance, hurts, being intimidated, being bullied, being threatened, being oppressed, being discriminated, unhappiness, disappointment, upset, and anger, is also neither bad or wrong.

But, it is important to have the basic understanding, or even the basic desire to understand towards what are all these mental activity that is all happening in the mind, which then manifest or turn into physical expression/activity, and have the self initiative and intense yearning of, "I want to be free from disturbance, hurts, being intimidated, being bullied, being threatened, being oppressed, being discriminated, unhappiness, disappointment, upset, anger, fear, worry, and all these suffering. I don't want to be violent and destructive unto myself, others, and the surrounding environment. But, I can't control myself for thinking, feeling, and behaving in such way. It is painful. Me and my family and my friends didn't do anything bad to other people. Why all these people keep hurting us? I want these people to stop hurting us. Life is so difficult. Living is so difficult. I wanted to stop living, but I also want to live. I want my family and my friends to live. I want to be happy. I want to have peace. I want my family and my friends to be happy and have peace. I want to understand. I want to know how to be free and have peace."

That was what this mind had went through in the past, that brought this mind onto the path of self inquiry.

It is absolutely possible to be free and have peace.

"You want to be selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive, that's your freedom of being what you are. That's your own cause and effect. I don't agree with you, but I also don't need to judge you or punish you. I don't need to be determined by you being what you are. I don't have to become like you."

That is both the beginning and the end of liberation.

Liberation doesn't exist upon the mind is being undetermined by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are manifesting inside the body and mind, and in the surrounding environment.

Liberation exists when the mind is not free, being in a state of disturbance and suffering, being determined and disturbed by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

If the mind perceives suffering, then there is absolutely possible for the attainment of liberation.

Because the manifestation or the perception of suffering is also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Because the manifestation of suffering is the effect of a cause. And all kinds of different effects of the different causes, regardless of physical or mental, oneself or others, pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable, are also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

All kinds of cause and effect will pass away.

All kinds of names and forms will pass away. 

All forms of inevitable and evitable suffering will pass away, even if one doesn't make any effort to do anything about it.

The inevitable suffering that exists along under the momentary existence of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function of the mortal body and mind, that is non-self, will ceased existing upon the ceased existence of the mortal body and mind.

The evitable suffering that exists under the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence of the veil of ignorance in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, that is non-self, will also ceased existing upon the annihilation or the absence of the veil of ignorance.

It is solid fact, or science and mathematics. It is not a philosophy or unrealistic wishful thinking or fairy tales.

Even so, it is highly essential to free the mind from the veil of ignorance when the body and mind is still existing and functioning in NOW, so that the mind doesn't hurt (stops hurting) itself and others and the surrounding environment out of the disturbed, dissatisfied, discontented, violent, and suffering state of mind deriving from ignorance and its by-products during its momentary existence and function, that is impacting all and everyone and everything in certain way, regardless of significantly or insignificantly, directly or indirectly, that is absolutely unnecessary and evitable.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

Universal vs Non-universal

What is essential or inevitable for all and everyone and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are, is universal.

What is is non-essential for all and everything to be what they are, where all and everyone can still be existing and functioning as they are under the absence of certain names and forms, such as the existence and/or function of all kinds of different beliefs, values, practices, visions, ambitions, aspirations, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, desires and don't desires, the idea of 'I' or the ego, egoism of attachment, identification, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, all kinds of impurities, excessive non-essential physical and mental activities or restlessness, contaminated/misinterpreted teachings and practices of yoga and/or buddhism, and so on, are non-universal.

What is universal, it is the truth or validation for all and everyone and everything, regardless of the different qualities of different names and forms.

What is non-universal, it isn't necessarily true or valid for all and everyone and everything, but it is only 'true' or 'valid' for particular quality of particular names and forms.

 

All and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, governed under the nature's law of cause and effect.

The truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self, and the nature's law of cause and effect, is universal.

 

All and everyone have their own particular personality, characteristic, family lineage, genetic inheritance, names and forms, qualities, conditions, situations, experiences, degrees of inherited and developed intelligence, cognition, reasoning, understanding, learning, knowledge, talents, skills, interests, thinking, ideas, belief, values, practice, desires and don't desires, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, achievements and non-achievements, vision, ambition, sentiments/feelings/emotions, behavior, action, and reaction, and the consequences of all that, or the different causes being generated under different desires/intentions/influences that give rise to different effects, are non-universal.

What allowing all those name and forms that are non-universal to be existing and happening under the nature's law of cause and effect (regardless of constructive, or destructive, or neutral), is universal.

 

All and everyone can be having different types of personal and community likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, desires and don't desires towards all and everything based on their own particular thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, desires, visions, aspirations, and practices, that are non-universal, but all and everyone cannot exist or function to be what they are, if without the air, the water, the nutrients, the minerals, and the heat (energy, or power for all kinds of activity) that exist in nature that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Diversity, of the existence and function of many different qualities of different names and forms, is universal.

 

All and everyone are breathing in and breathing out (regardless of clean air or polluted air in different area, but the content of oxygen in the air is what essential, even if the degrees of oxygen in different altitudes are different) to be existing and functioning as what they are, to be experiencing all kinds of different experiences, for being what they are, as they are.

Upon the breathing stops for extended period, or stops completely, or the air is unavailable for prolonged duration, the names and forms cease function, disintegrate, and cease existing.

The different contamination and the different degrees of contamination, and the different degrees of the different contents in the air, is non-universal.

The contents in the air (oxygen and/or carbon-dioxide for different living organisms) that enabling all and everyone and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are, is universal.

 

What is universal, is intentionless and doesn't discriminate.

What is intentional and discriminate, is non-universal.

 

The sun and the sunlight, is universal.

The earth and nature and the living atmosphere, is universal.

The nutrients and minerals, are universal.

The air and water, are universal.

The heat (energy, or power for all kinds of activities/manifestations), is universal.

The inevitable suffering of ceaseless life maintenance, restlessness, fatigue, hunger and thirst, discomfort, pain, impermanent changes, decay, damage, illness, weakness, fragility, disintegration, coming in contact with disagreeable names and forms, separation from agreeable names and forms, is universal. All and everyone and everything are subject to Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self.

The possibility of liberation from ignorance under conscious mind evolution, where the selfless mind awareness transcends (being undetermined and undisturbed and non-intimidated by) all those natural manifestations that are inevitable, is universal.

The selfless universal consciousness that pervades all and everyone and everything, that is untouched/uncontaminated/unchanged/uninfluenced/undamaged by the countless manifestations of all kinds of names and forms, is universal.

What is universal, it doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

What 'only belongs to' and 'only valid for' specific names and forms/individual/community, it is non-universal.

Natural manifestation of intentionless natural disasters and natural cause of death or ceased existence under natural cause and effect of decay and disintegration, or the uninterrupted natural cycle of arising and passing away under nature that is inevitable, is universal.

Ignorance induced disasters/damages/injuries/causes of death or ceased existence under specific intention/desire/motivation/aspiration/ambition/activity under the influence of ignorance in the different minds that is evitable or unnecessary, is non-universal.

For example, not all and everyone will die from specific type of non-natural cause of death. The different non-natural causes of death, is non-universal. But all and everyone will eventually die under natural cause of decay and disintegration, if they didn't die under non-natural cause of death and are not having any kind of chronic sickness. That is universal.

Another example, not all and everyone will be undergoing specific type of sickness regardless of whether it is due to genetic factor or it is deriving from unhealthy daily habits under the influence of ignorant thinking and behavior. The different type of sickness and the different cause of sickness, is non-universal. But all and everyone will be undergoing some kind of sickness eventually regardless of whether it is acute sickness or chronic sickness, regardless of whether it is due to genetic factor or injury, or it is deriving from unhealthy daily habits that is evitable, or it is due to the natural effect of decay and weakening of the different components/organs/systems of the physical body, if they live long enough to be undergoing the natural process of aging, that is inevitable. All and everyone are all subject to decay, weakness, sickness, or injury, even if the body is being well-maintained under superb condition, super fit, super strong, and super flexible. That is universal.

Suffering in general, regardless of what the mind thinks and believes as 'good people or bad people, good karma or bad karma' that are not really the truth of what things are, is universal. All and everyone are subject to inevitable suffering of just by being existing and functioning as what they are, that need ceaseless effort for ceaseless maintenance, that is selfless, that is subject to impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self.

Specific type of suffering deriving from ignorance that is evitable, is non-universal. Not all and everyone will be undergoing any specific type of suffering deriving from ignorance that is evitable.

The possibility for all minds to be transcending all kinds of suffering, or to be free from ignorance, is universal.

Not all and everyone are interested and self initiative to be transcending all kinds of suffering, or to be free from ignorance, and even if someone is interested and self initiative to be free from ignorance, or to be transcending all kinds of suffering, not all and everyone can attain liberation due to the existence of certain inevitable non-conducive condition or limitation, and hence, the path of liberation to be free from ignorance and suffering, is non-universal, even though all and everyone can be free, if they want, indiscriminately, which that itself, is universal.

However, if the mind that has the desire and effort to be free from ignorance, or to be transcending all kinds of suffering, but due to certain reason, or limitation, or condition, it is still not completely be free from ignorance and suffering, that it still has certain doubt towards certain things/teachings and it perceives suffering, in NOW, but as long as it knows what is non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-judgment, non-expectation, acceptance, and letting go, where it is aware of and acknowledges the presence of ignorance or doubt and the perception of suffering, but without attachment or identification, craving or aversion, judgment or expectation, and be able to accept the reality in the present moment now as it is, not necessarily the way that it would like it to be, and be able to let go all the selfless manifestation of ignorance, doubt, and suffering in this present moment now, and it is resting in peace, that is already what liberation is about. That is what TRANSCEND is about.

TRANSCEND doesn't mean that there is no manifestation of any kind of painful suffering within the body or in the surrounding environment being aware of the painful suffering in all the others, but the mind knows how to not attaching/grasping towards the selfless manifestation/perception/experience of all kinds of names and forms, and if there is the presence of attachment unwittingly/unconsciously, it knows how to let go instantly, and go beyond the selfless manifestation of all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that are pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, and desirable or undesirable, that arise within the physical structure or in the surrounding environment.

It doesn't mean that upon TRANSCEND takes place, one doesn't perform actions, or one stops performing actions that are possible, that can be benefiting all and everyone unconditionally and indiscriminately, that might help all the others to also be free from ignorance, and to transcend the selfless manifestation of all kinds of evitable and inevitable suffering in oneself and in others.

That's why the genuine dhamma teachers - Siddhartha Gautama buddha, Swami Sivananda, Ajahn Chah, and many other saints and sages, they kept performing actions to be disseminating the teachings/the dhamma as it is, to the public unconditionally and indiscriminately, until the end of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence, because there were/are many minds in this world of ignorant egoistic human beings are desperately in need of the teachings/the dhamma, to be free from the veil of ignorance, and to have peace, so that the minds don't hurt themselves and others and the surrounding environment during the momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional worldly life existence that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to oneself, not to say, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

TRANSCEND is nothing spiritual, philosophical, religious, mystical, miracle, unreachable, untouchable, momentary effects/selfless impermanent mental and/or physical activities under the usage of substances or under unconsciousness and semi consciousness, such as 'dream', 'illusion', 'wild imagination', 'I see the light', 'I see xxx', 'I am flying/floating', 'out of body/out of the world experience', 'insanity', 'hypnotism', or 'trance', that are all part of the selfless manifestations within the modification of the mind.

All kinds of instinctive intentionless unconscious autonomous physical and mental activities for basic life maintenance, and behavior/action/reaction influenced by the mind thinking and behavior pattern being conditioned by genetic inheritance and external influential conditions, is universal. All minds cannot avoid all that, although there is possibility to transcend (not being determined by) all that.

All kinds of conscious by choice non-autonomous physical and mental activities beyond the basic life maintenance under certain conscious desire and intention, or all kinds of conscious by choice behavior/action/reaction under certain desire/intention influenced by the mind thinking and behavior pattern that can be modified, re-conditioned, and influenced by the existence of many different types of impactful and influential conditions/factors/elements/observations/practices/beliefs/values/ideas, of all kinds of physical and mental inputs/activities/interactions/experiences, that give rise to respective consequences that influence the selfless impermanent internal (within the body and mind) and external (the external surrounding living environment) changes/evolution in certain way, in NOW, is non-universal, where different minds can be aware or unaware of all that, and can be doing or not doing something about that, where some minds can be behaving constructively, while some minds can be behaving destructively, which can be determining/influencing all and everything that are happening in the body and mind, and in the world, in NOW. And that itself, where it is possible for the minds to transcend or override all that, is universal.

That's why the egoistic possessiveness and ownership and authorization or restriction/control over the earth, nature, natural resources, living atmosphere, land and space, the freedom of existence/function/living/being/movement of all and everyone and everything that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, as well as the notion or desire to be discriminating towards someone or something, to be destroying diversity, or to be converting/oppressing/forcing all kinds of diversities to become one single uniformity that is agreeable to one particular individual or community, is hurtful, and is against nature, or the truth of all and everything, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary suffering that don't need to be existing at all, unto all and everyone and everything.

It is 'normal' that there are certain minds only want to hurt and destroy all and everything, because they are being wired/conditioned to be thinking and behaving in such way, but even these minds also can be liberated from ignorance, and stop hurting itself and all and everything out of its own conscious choice/desire, under self awareness, self initiative, self effort, self inquiry, and self realization, not to say, the minds that don't want or don't have any intention to hurt or destroy anyone or anything.

Inquire the truth of everything. 

Live in the present moment removes the veil of ignorance

One of the ways for the mind to be free from ignorance and suffering, is the observation as well as the contemplation or self-inquiry upon 'Live in the present moment' or '活在當下'.

By contemplating upon 'Live in the present moment' as well as practically living in the present moment will remove the veil of ignorance, allowing the mind to realize or understand all the other teachings of yoga and/or buddhism.

'Live in the present moment' is universal, non-spiritual, non-religious, non-philosophical, non-harmful, non-intimidating, non-discriminate, non-limited, and non-conditional.

It is natural and effortless.

 

All and everyone only exist in the NOW.

None can exist outside of NOW. 

All and everyone has to live in the present moment.

One cannot and doesn't live outside the present moment.

There is no option for choosing to live before or after NOW. 

However, in the NOW, the mind awareness can wander to the past memory and future imagination, and holds onto the past memory and future imagination, and hence, existing/functioning/living under the presence and influence of unnecessary craving, clinging, longing, aversion, disturbance, dissatisfaction, disappointment, hurt, resentment, bitterness, guilt, regret, pride, shame, fear, worry, anticipation, expectation, and wishful thinking, in NOW.

 

The basic practice of observing the natural breath coming and going, is all about 'being in the NOW' and 'Live in the NOW'.

If you hold onto the incoming breath, you will suffer.

If you hold onto the outgoing breath, you will suffer.

If you hold onto not breathing in and not breathing out, you will suffer.

The moment you let go, and allow the breath to be what it is, ceaselessly coming and going, and eventually it will stop coming and going, there is no suffering.

The moment you want to control the breath to be in certain way and you don't want the breath to be in certain way, suffering will arise. 

The breath doesn't belong to you (the selfless conscious mind awareness that is aware of the breathe coming and going), or anyone, or anything, and vice versa.

Similarly,

The moment you want to control life or the world to be in certain way and you don't want life or the world to be in certain way, you will suffer.

The life or the world, or whatever you perceive and experience, don't make you suffer.

It is your urge/desire/ambition to control anything and everything to be or not to be in certain way, that makes you suffer.

Life or the world doesn't belong to you, or anyone, or anything.

Whatever you perceive and experience don't belong to you, or anyone, or anything. 

 

There is no before or after NOW. It is always NOW. There is only NOW.

Everything in NOW, regardless of inside or outside this body and mind, is impermanent, constantly changing.

That realization towards Impermanence, will lead towards the realization of Selflessness, Limitation, Conditional, Non-self, Timelessness, Oneness, Non-separateness, Non-duality, Cause and Effect, and the truth of what is 'the endless loop of reincarnation, of ceaseless births and deaths transitioning under different realms'.

Non-attaching/non-grasping/non-holding onto/non-possessing/non-clinging/non-controlling towards the present moment (that is ceaselessly changing, while the changes can be modified and influenced in NOW under conscious choice/desire/intention), not to say, the past memory (that cannot be undone or changed) and the future imagination (that doesn't exist at all), regardless of pleasant or unpleasant. 

If there is attachment/grasping/holding onto/possessiveness/clinging/control, suffering manifest as it is.

If there is no attachment/grasping/holding onto/possessiveness/clinging/control, suffering doesn't arise.

What is 'I'?

What is 'suffering'?

What is 'fear'? 

Merely make use of what is available and do what is possible, in NOW, to be benefiting all and everyone unconditionally and indiscriminately, and let it go.

Perform action, and renounce the fruit of action.

Non-controlling, doesn't only limited to the ceaseless instinctive non-conscious non-by choice random autonomous physical and mental activities for essential life maintenance operated under the selfless survival instinct even under the absence of conscious mind awareness being aware of all those autonomous physical and mental activities for life maintenance are happening ceaselessly.

Non-controlling, doesn't mean non-action/inaction/actionless, or the complete absence of physical and mental action/activities under conscious choice/desire/intention.

Give effortlessly upon possibility to give, and let go - The absence of control

Give, and expect this and not that - The presence of control

That's why there is not only the unconscious autonomous physical and mental evolution/changes that is determined and influenced by certain underlying internal genetic inherited conditions/factors, but there is also the conscious mind evolution directing the impermanent changes in certain way under certain external factors/conditions/observations/practices/possibility/availability under conscious choice/desire/intention that can influence or override the internal factors.

The selfless conscious mind awareness can be aware of the presence of certain unpleasant physical or mental illness in the body and mind, or being aware of all kinds of mind stuff/modification/activities of the mind generating the different states of mind, while it is not being determined or affected by all that, or the objects of awareness.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.
