be free, be happy, be peaceful

May all find the teacher within to guide oneself towards unconditional love and peace

None can remove the ignorance in others but one can refrain from empowering the ignorance in oneself and others

It's normal and nothing wrong that when the mind is functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism (the presence of the idea of 'I', attachment, desire of craving and aversion, and expectation), the mind will be disturbed by and would feel depressed/hopeless/meaningless towards the truth about "None can remove the ignorance in others," and hence, either it chooses to perform actions that would bring destruction to all and everyone and everything (if I am in unhappiness/painful suffering, I want all and everyone also to be in unhappiness/painful suffering), or it is reluctant to be performing actions that are beneficial for all and everyone, that might or might not bring constructive improvements in all and everyone and everything (why bother if all and everyone will die sooner or later anyway, no matter what).

That is what ignorance is about. Ignorance feeds/empowers ignorance.

None can change or escape the truth of selflessness and impermanence (decay and death/disintegration), but all and everyone can make good use of the existing ability, possibility, and opportunity in this present moment of the limited selfless impermanent existence, to be kind to oneself and all and everyone.

None, not even enlightened beings/minds/buddhas/gurus, can remove the ignorance in all the other minds.

But one can remove the ignorance in oneself.

One can refrain from empowering the ignorance in oneself.

And, more importantly,

One can also refrain from empowering the ignorance in all the others.

Meanwhile, upon the presence of ability, possibility, and opportunity, one can also perform actions under the presence of correct understanding (wisdom) and kindness (compassion) that are beneficial for all and everyone, that might or might not bring constructive improvements in all and everyone and everything, that might or might not uplift some other minds that are struggling/drowning in ignorance and suffering, unconditionally without egoism of attachment, desire of craving and aversion, or expectation.

Allow the fruit of actions being what it is.

Allow all and everyone being what they are.

Allow all and everyone to remove ignorance in themselves, or not.

Allow all and everyone be free from ignorance, or not.

Be free.

The mind that knows and understands towards selflessness and impermanence

There is needless of engaging in any form of expression or communication, not to say, to be engaging in passionate egoistic interaction, or justification, or debate, or argument, if the mind knows and understands towards selflessness and impermanence, knowing Thyself, being free from ignorance and egoism, and resting in unconditional peace, while respecting all the other minds being what and how they are, and allowing the world being what it is, selfless, and impermanent, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, where all kinds of names and forms arising, changing, and passing away, at their own respective cause and pace.

There is neither good nor bad.

There is neither right nor wrong.

There is neither positive nor negative.

There is neither meaningful nor meaningless.

All and everything are just what they are.

Who and what, it doesn't matter.

Short-lived or long-lived, it doesn't matter.

Healthy or unhealthy, it doesn't matter.

What is the cause of death, it doesn't matter.

It's whether there is peace, or not, regardless of what is manifesting/happening/changing in this present moment, under the presence or absence of knowing and understanding towards all these.

If the mind still doesn't know and doesn't understand (yet) towards selflessness and impermanence, and it is in doubt and disturbance, and has no peace, while it has intense yearning towards liberation from ignorance by knowing and understanding all these, then it just needs to keep practicing, keep purifying, and keep inquiring.

The different minds think, reason, understand, behave, act, react, and desire differently

There is neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad, on how the different minds think, reason, understand, behave, act, react, and desire differently.

Different minds are functioning under different degrees of ignorance, conditioned by different ideas and beliefs, that lead to different understanding and non-understanding, that are influencing the different ways of thinking, reasoning, behavior, action, reaction, and desire/don't desire.

It has to come from the mind itself, to have the awareness towards what is going on in itself (the modification of the mind, or the states of mind, or the thought activities, or the thought process, or all kinds of perceived names and forms of inputs, knowledge, ideas, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, conditions, situations, affairs, experiences, abilities, disabilities, accomplishments, non-accomplishments, ties and connections, relationships, memories, feelings, emotions, disturbance, restlessness, suffering, and etc), while having the initiation and effort to investigate, to inquire, to understand, to learn, to know, to know Thyself, to know the truth of 'I', of what the mind thinks and believes and identifies as its permanent independent individual self-existence, but not really.

Most minds won't be thinking about all that, unless it starts to have doubt or curiosity, upon perceiving, experiencing, coming in contact with, or being hammered and humbled by certain experiences or names and forms that it perceives as 'painful suffering', that it doesn't like and doesn't desire, that it wants to avoid, escape from, or get rid of.

Minds that are enjoying, and being attached/proud towards their particular identities of certain heritage/background/origin/nationality/ethnicity/culture/belief/values/status/title/privilege, possessions, conditions, abilities, and achievements, will have no interest to inquire towards the truth of 'the mind perception of a selfless impermanent life existence', unless they are being hammered and humbled by selfless impermanent changes/experiences that they don't like and don't desire.

Minds that are being determined by, and will be worrying about their physical appearance/condition, social/financial status, abilities/disabilities, or achievements/non-achievements, and how others think, feel, judge, and acknowledge about them, where they put highest priority/attention/effort onto making sure that they are presentable/acceptable/respectable/agreeable/lovable/admirable/creditable by the world or the others, as well as minds that are enjoying what they think and believe as their deserving achievements and enjoyments after exerting attention and effort onto what they wanted to achieve, will have none or very little interest or initiation to be investigating or inquiring towards the selfless existence and function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional assertive thinking faculty perceiving/experiencing a selfless impermanent life existence.

There's nothing wrong or bad about that. It's the freedom of all minds for what they think, know, understand, and desire, or not.

Minds that have intense initiation/interest to learn about themselves, to know and understand about ALL THESE that is going on in the modification of the mind, of everything that it is perceiving/experiencing, to know what is suffering and the cause of suffering, to know how to be free from suffering or the cause of suffering, to be free from doubts or ignorance, and to attain absolute freedom or liberation from all kinds of limitations, will have the essential determination and perseverance to be learning and practicing Dhamma/Dharma/yoga/buddhism, until they starts to realize/see/know the truth of everything, as it is.

Yoga and/or meditation was, has been, and is being hyped as something 'mystical', or 'spiritual', or 'unreachable'.

When the mind is focusing in the present moment now without wandering to the past memories (past experiences) or future imaginations/anticipations, that is concentration, and if that concentration is being maintained/withheld for an extended period effortlessly and spontaneously, where there is absence of the idea of 'I', or devoid of egoistic attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, and expectation towards the selfless existence and function of the perceptive mind and the perceived names and forms (the selfless impermanent modification of mind), regardless of whether engaging in action or inaction, that's meditation. There's no going into meditation (meditating) or coming out of meditation (non-meditating). When the mind knows selflessness/non-attachment/non-grasping, devoid of the idea of 'I'/attachment/grasping (the cause of disturbance/suffering), that's yoga/buddhism. There is nothing mystical, or spiritual, or unreachable.

Even the attainment of self-realization, (not to say, something that appears to be what the mind thinks and believes as 'mystical'/'supernatural'/'magical'/'amazing') also doesn't and cannot change the truth of selflessness and impermanence, of all these selfless impermanent names and forms (living beings and non-living objects). It doesn't and cannot remove the suffering and the cause of suffering in the world of ignorance and egoism in the other selfless minds, of all kinds of ignorant ideas/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors and their consequences being generated in this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

There were and are many skillful magicians, amazing stories tellers, intelligent knowledgeable scholars/teachers/scientists/mathematicians, enlightened compassionate beings, positive optimistic cheerleaders, impactful influencers, higher advanced engineering and technologies, and powerful leaders/law makers in the world, but none of these can remove/stop ignorance/egoism/impurities and the consequences of all that, that contribute to all kinds of unnecessary man-made damages/destructions/suffering in the world that doesn't belong to anyone.

The most powerful/wealthy/successful/respectable/admirable/intelligent/knowledgeable/beautiful/healthy/happy/kind person in the world also cannot escape/defy inevitable restless life maintenance, hunger, thirst, fatigue, decay, discomfort, weakness, injury, illness, aging, and death (disintegration).

When the mind is free from the idea of 'I', attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, and expectation, there is no disturbance or suffering arising in the modification of the mind, or there is peace, as it is, regardless of what the mind is perceiving/experiencing towards what is happening within the selfless physical body, or outside the physical body in the surrounding environment in the present moment NOW, of the selfless perception of agreeable or disagreeable names and forms ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away, of the pleasant or unpleasant and desirable or undesirable selfless impermanent changes in the names and forms governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

It's all about the presence or absence of 'attachment'/'grasping' towards what is in the present moment NOW and towards the past memories/experiences and future imaginations/projections.

The mind that doesn't know 'non-attachment'/'non-grasping'/'detachment'/'letting go'/'desirelessness', that doesn't know selflessness (there is no 'I' existing), that wanders to the past memories and future imaginations, is not free, even when everything appeared to be desirable and agreeable in the present moment NOW.

The mind that knows 'non-attachment'/'non-grasping'/'detachment'/'letting go'/'desirelessness' in the present moment NOW, that knows selflessness, that is free from being determined by past memories and future imaginations, is free, even when everything appeared to be undesirable and disagreeable in the present moment NOW.

Still being over-whelmed/depressed/disturbed/hurt/angered/frustrated/disappointed/confused by all kinds of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance in this world?

Inquire the truth of everything, realize selflessness/non-attachment/non-grasping, and be free.

The free mind can be performing many beneficial actions in the world, but not being determined by the actions and the fruit of actions.

The truth as it is

If it is the truth, it doesn't limited to any particular qualities of names and forms.

If it is the truth, it doesn't belong to any particular qualities of names and forms.

If it is the truth, then regardless of all kinds of different qualities of names and forms, all and everyone and everything are subject to this truth.

The truth is neither a belief nor disbelief.

The truth is what things are, as they are.

All the different kinds of belief and disbelief are only limited to their respective particular names and forms, that belonged to the different minds that associating themselves with different names and forms, that the different minds identifying with as who and what they are. Such as different minds have their own particular type of belief and disbelief, which appeared to be very real and valid to each of them in their life existence, while the same belief and disbelief don't really exist in or valid to many other minds in their life existence. There is neither right nor wrong. All minds have their own freedom for what they believe and disbelieve.

Meanwhile,

regardless of 'ancient' or present or 'future'

regardless what kind of names and forms,

regardless of what type of quality/condition/situation/experience/achievement/non-achievement,

regardless of what the different people identifying or non-identifying with as who and what they are,

regardless of what type of background, origin, place of birth, nationality, ethnicity, thinking, belief, culture, spirituality, personality, way of living, lifestyle, ideas, values, desires, and practices,

regardless of good or bad behavior,

good life or bad life,

easy life or difficult life,

selfish or unselfish,

positive or negative,

kind or unkind,

happy or unhappy,

healthy or unhealthy,

wise or ignorant,

peaceful or peaceless,

calmed or disturbed,

male or female, or non-male and non-female, or both male and female,

knowledgeable or non-knowledgeable,

intelligent or non-intelligent,

understanding or non-understanding,

hardworking or laid-backing,

introvert or extrovert,

sociable or non-sociable,

confident or non-confident,

wealthy rich or extremely poor,

generous or stingy,

living beings/plants/organism or non-living objects/things,

mobile or immobile,

ambitious or non-ambitious,

pure or impure,

passionate or dispassionate,

spiritual or non-spiritual,

ordinary or extra ordinary,

talented or non-talented,

sane or insane,

and so on,

all and everyone and everything,

are Impermanent,

constantly changing, decaying, disintegrating,

and eventually, vanished

and,

all are Selfless.

There is no 'I' existing in all and everything to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes and limited existence.

The selfless minds that realized/understand/know this, they are free and peaceful as they are.

Regardless of who and what the mind thinks and believes is itself or "This is I", all and everyone are bound to meet death, sooner or later.

The minds that don't understand, they perceive 'death', or 'All are born to die', or 'old age, weakness, and illness', as negativity, meaninglessness, or painful sorrow, and either they might be reluctant to perform actions, or they might perform actions that would bring harmful consequences to oneself and others.

The minds that understand, 'death', or 'All are born to die', or 'old age, weakness, and illness' are merely the truth of all and everything, it's neither positive nor negative, neither meaningful nor meaningless, and neither sorrowful nor non-sorrowful. Either they are resting in silence, or they make good use of the limited conditional impermanent selfless existence in this present moment to be performing actions that would bring wisdom, openness, kindness, and peace to oneself and others.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

When the mind is lost and doesn't know what to think or do

In this present moment

Either standing, or sitting, or lying down, or being in any position that is comfortable

Closing the eyes gently

Staying still for a few moments

It's okay, if the body needs to move and change position

Focus on the space below the nostrils above the upper lip

Be aware of the breathing

Be aware of the air coming in and going out

The air coming in is slightly cold

The air coming out is slightly warm

The mind might wander away

It's okay

Gently bring the mind back onto the breath

No matter how many times the mind wanders away

Gently bring the mind back onto the breath

If the breath is slow, let it be slow

If the breath is fast, let it be fast

If the breath stops coming and going, let it be

Allowing the breath to be what it is

Allowing the mind to be what it is

No judgment

No expectation

It's okay, if the mind is lost in this present moment

It's okay, if the mind doesn't know what to think or do in this present moment

All and everything are impermanent

The breath is impermanent

The calmed or disturbed state of mind is impermanent

The comfortable and uncomfortable sensations are impermanent

The positive or negative thinking is impermanent

The pleasant or unpleasant feelings and emotions are impermanent

The good and bad experiences are impermanent

No clinging towards what is here, that is pleasant and agreeable

No aversion towards something that is here, that is unpleasant and disagreeable

No craving towards something that is not here

Even this, is impermanent.

The essential practice of non-identification

The practice of non-attachment or non-grasping is being reflected in the practice of non-identification, or letting go the existing identification with all kinds of worldly identities/duties/responsibilities/ties and connections, even though one still have to keep the worldly identities to be living and moving in this world that is run by minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, as well as to be carrying out certain actions, duties, and responsibilities towards oneself and/or others in this selfless life existence.

Similarly, the practice of non-attachment is being reflected in the practice of letting go the desires of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation.

They all are different names and forms, but they are non-separated and non-distinctive from one another.

The thinning-out and the annihilation of the ego (the idea of 'I') and egoism, is about weakening and starving the idea of 'I', attachment, identification, desires of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, until all these names and forms are completely vanished from the selfless modification of the mind.

---------------------------------------------------

A 'mind that is functioning under the idea of I and us' would react and feel greatly disturbed and hurt by something that the mind recognized as something offensive/humiliating/disrespectful/hurtful that is happening unto 'me/I/us/mine/ours', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is happening unto some others but not 'me/I/us/mine/ours'.

The mind that is identifying with a particular 'nationality', 'ethnicity', 'spirituality', 'culture', 'belief', 'community', 'family', 'relationship', 'title/status', 'specie', 'gender', and etc, will be determined and disturbed greatly by something unpleasant, undesirable, disagreeable, and hurtful that is directing towards that particular nation, ethnic, spirituality, culture, belief, community, family, relationship, title/status, specie, or gender, while it will be either being undetermined and undisturbed, or less determined and less disturbed by the similar thing that is happening unto other nations, other ethnics, other spiritualities, other cultures, other beliefs, other communities, other families, other relationships, other titles/status, other species, or other genders, that it doesn't identifying with.

A 'member of a family' would react and feel greatly disturbed and offended by something that the mind recognized as offensive/humiliating/disrespectful/hurtful that is happening unto 'my family', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is happening unto some other families but not 'my family'.

A 'member of a community' would react and feel greatly offended by something that the mind recognized as offensive/humiliating/disrespectful/hurtful that is directing towards 'my community', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is directing towards some other communities but not 'my community'.

A 'mind that is identifying with a particular ethnicity/nationality/spirituality/culture/belief' would react and feel greatly offended and disturbed by something that the mind recognized as offensive/humiliating/disrespectful/hurtful that is directing towards 'my ethnic/nation/spirituality/culture/belief', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is directing towards some other ethnics/nations/spiritualities/cultures/beliefs that is not 'my ethnicity/nation/spirituality/culture/belief'.

A 'mind that is identifying as a human being' would react and feel greatly offended by something that the mind recognized as offensive/destructive/damaging/hurtful that is happening unto 'human beings', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is happening unto some other beings/things but not 'human beings'.

A 'mind that is identifying with all living beings' would react and feel greatly offended by something that the mind recognized as offensive/destructive/damaging/hurtful that is happening unto 'any living beings', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is directing unto something that is not 'all living beings'.

A 'mind that is identifying with all are one in this universe, and this is our universe' would react and feel greatly disturbed by something that the mind recognized as offensive/destructive/damaging/hurtful that is happening unto 'our universe', while it doesn't react or feel the same if there is the similar thing that is happening unto some other universe but not 'our universe'.

A 'mind that is identifying with goodness and righteousness' would react and feel greatly disturbed and offended by something that the mind recognized as 'badness' and wrongfulness', that is contradicting with what the mind thinks and believes and categorizes as 'goodness' and 'righteousness'.

It is not any of the names and forms that has the quality or intention to be something 'disturbing or non-disturbing', 'disagreeable or agreeable', 'good or bad', 'right or wrong', 'positive or negative', and 'meaningful or meaningless'. It is how the mind thinks, reasons, understands, identifying/non-identifying with, values, desires, behaves, acts, and reacts towards all and everything upon perceiving/experiencing/coming in contact with all kinds of names and forms.

---------------------------------------------------------

Inquire towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence.

There is no 'I' existing to be identifying with any names and forms.

One will not be determined or disturbed by all kinds of activities and their consequences deriving from the minds functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, while one performs one's existing duties and responsibilities, and necessary actions that will benefit all and everyone and everything, without attachment, identification, desires of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, and devoid of all kinds of impurities and restlessness, of selfishness, possessiveness, discontentment, greed, separateness, discrimination, pride, superiority, inferiority, offensiveness, defensiveness, unhappiness, disappointment, hurt, anger, hatred, cruelty, or violence.

The minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, are similar to the wild animals. Wild animals are neither something good nor bad. They are just being what they are. They can be very calmed, contented, happy, and 'cute' at certain time, and they can be extremely disturbed, restless, violent, and hurtful at some other times. There is neither right nor wrong. It is just the truth of what things are, and being what they are.

Most minds are being conditioned by the world of ignorance and egoism to be developing and empowering a strong identification with certain identities under certain names and forms, that empowers pride, possessiveness, selfishness, protectiveness, separateness, discrimination, superiority, inferiority, submissiveness, blind-following, blind-believing, blind-practicing, blind-propagating, non-questioning the leader/authority/authorization/parent/elder/teacher/teachings/belief, non-inquiring the truth of everything, story telling, lies, white lies, hypocrisy, slander, manipulation, temptation, threat, bully, exploitation, violence, force, cruelty, fear, insecurity, discontentment, greed, hoarding, endless desires and ambitions, and etc (the absence of peace).

There are many minds don't like and don't want peace, where they enjoy unrest/restlessness, and want to create unrest and empower restlessness. That's their freedom of likes and dislikes, desire and don't desire. 

The minds that embrace and appreciate peace, they don't need to be determined and disturbed by the likes and dislikes/desires and don't desires or the restlessness of the other minds.

The mind that understands, it is not being determined or disturbed by the ignorance and the consequences of ignorance of the others.

The empowerment of the ego and egoism, or the development and empowerment of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, is something common and normal in most family upbringing, school education, tribe, community, organization, work place, friends circle, social networking, business, commercialism, gangs, politics, spirituality, belief, or any kind of management/leadership/authorization, for them to survive, sustain, and expand, to be in control, or to be in power.

Yoga and buddhism practice is all about freeing the mind from all that.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The minds that are free from ignorance and egoism, they have the clarity of thinking and reasoning, correct understanding, truthfulness, desirelessness, respect towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, self-awareness, self-management, self-control, self-independence, unconditional peace, and unconditional non-discriminating kindness/generosity/accommodation towards all and everything of all kinds of diversities in the world that doesn't belong to anyone.

They don't interfere with all the others being what they are.

They don't claim ownership and authorization.

They don't need to control others to be or not to be in certain way.

They are not being influenced by others to be or not to be in certain way.

They just stay away from the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism as much as possible, not wasting energy into dealing with ignorant affairs, while conserving energy to be performing actions that might help to bring more peace, wisdom, and kindness into the surrounding environment.

Be free.

Even this, is impermanent

No matter how much painful suffering that the mind is perceiving/experiencing in this present moment now, regardless of whether it's the physical/mental/emotional suffering of oneself, or it's being empathetic towards the suffering of the many others in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone, just remember this, "Regardless of whether it's something pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, agreeable or disagreeable, and enjoyable or painful, all are impermanent."

One can choose to perform or not performing certain action that is possible, that might or might not avoid, or minimize, or reduce the suffering in oneself or in others, without attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, and expectation.

There is neither right nor wrong.

If one chooses to perform certain action that is possible, that might or might not help to avoid/minimize/reduce the many unnecessary suffering in the world of ignorance and egoism, then just do one's best, and let it go.

Even this, is impermanent.

Tuesday, October 1, 2024

What or how to perform self-inquiry to attain self-realization

Self-inquiry and self-realization will be happening naturally and effortlessly under an open mind devoid of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, and expectation (egoistic thoughts activities), that is pure (devoid of impurities or ignorant egoistic corrupted thinking, reasoning, understanding, aspirations, actions, and reactions under the influence of particular worldly cultural/social/spiritual/educational/national/political/commercial ideas, thinking, belief/disbelief, values, ambitions, visions, and practice) and calm/quiet (devoid of restlessness/disturbance/desires).

Without an open mind devoid of impurities and restlessness, self-inquiry and self-realization cannot happen even under great initiation (suffering/limitation/lack of freedom/the sense of emptiness or meaninglessness/doubt/curiosity), great intention (desire or yearning towards liberation/knowledge), or great effort (all kinds of practices or methods), as the mind reasons and judges everything based on the existing worldly egoistic thinking, knowledge, ideas, belief, values, and practice in the mind, as well as acts and reacts under the influence of the impure restless disturbed state of mind.

Under a pure, calm/quiet, and opened mind (the selfless reflector that reflects everything as it is, selflessly and intentionlessly), the truth of everything will be reflected as it is (seeing the truth of everything, as it is - Impermanence and Selflessness).

There is no 'I'. There is no 'not I'.

There is no "I am." There is no "I am not."

There is no "I am reflecting the truth of everything."

There is no "I reflect", "I realize", or "I know".

There is no separateness of subject (the one that reflects) and object (the one that is being reflected) and knowledge (the subject knowing the object).

There is no separateness of the knower and the knowledge.

--------------------------------------------------

The main teachings of yoga and buddhism - Impermanence and Selflessness

The direct realization and understanding towards Impermanence and Selflessness will simultaneously lead to the realization and understanding towards -

Timelessness - There is neither past nor future. There is only NOW, and all that is in NOW, is changing.

All kinds of transitions (impermanent changes) in different realms (different modifications/states of mind) is happening in NOW.

Time is merely the reflection of ceaseless impermanent changes/movements/distances in NOW.

Realms are the reflection of the different modifications/states of mind in NOW.

Countless births and deaths are happening in NOW, in this selfless physical body, in this selfless modification of the selfless mind, in all kinds of selfless names and forms.

The selfless body with the selfless thinking mind (selfless names and forms) is undergoing selfless impermanent changes, or undergoing ceaseless births and deaths in different realms, in NOW.

There is no 'I' in this selfless existence and function of the selfless body with the selfless function of the selfless perceptive thinking mind undergoing all these selfless impermanent changes, a.k.a. ceaseless births and deaths in different realms.

The selfless body and mind (and all kinds of names and forms) is subject to selfless impermanent changes, decay, death, or mortality (finite existence). There is no 'I' that is mortal (finite existence) or immortal (infinite existence) existing in the selfless body and mind, or in any kind of names and forms.

Which also lead to the realization and understanding of all these different names and forms that are non-distinctive or non-separated from one another -

Non-duality

Oneness

Non-separateness

Attributelessness

Namelessness

Formlessness

Birthlessness

Deathlessness

Beginninglessness

Endlessness

Desirelessness

Fearlessness

Unconditional peace

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form

Form is non-distinctive from emptiness, emptiness is non-distinctive from form

No gain, no loss

No increase, no decrease

No purity, no impurity

No wisdom, no gain of wisdom

No ignorance, no end of ignorance

No suffering, no end of suffering

No liberation, no gain of liberation

--------------------------------------------------

Purify the mind.

Discipline the mind.

Quiet the mind.

Letting go all that is in the mind.

Non-blind believing

Non-blind following

Non-blind practicing

Non-blind propagating

Inquire/reflect the truth of everything.

Be free.

---------------------------------------------------

The process of letting go all that is in the selfless modification of the selfless mind (non-grasping/non-attachment/non-association/non-identification/non-possession/non-interference towards all and everything), could be effortless, or could be extremely difficult and even painful for the mind, depending on the different degrees of ignorance.

The mind that is in a state of disturbance or painful suffering, might think, "I am already in great pain. I want to be free from pain. I do not want to go through more pain," or, "I want to be free from pain. I am already in great pain. Any more pain (inevitable difficulties) makes no difference. I will endure any inevitable pain (difficulties) if that will make me be free from pain."

It's the freedom of the mind towards what it wants and doesn't want.

There's neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

Be free from fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity through understanding

Just like all the other kind of impurities or thought activities in the modification of the mind, fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity are selfless and impermanent.

All kinds of impurities or thought activities are not 'I', and they are impermanent.

All kinds of impurities or thought activities are just what they are. They are neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative, and neither right nor wrong, especially if there is certain degrees of self-awareness, correct understanding, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation in the thinking mind, where the mind is aware of all these impurities or thought activities (regardless of whether they are pleasant or unpleasant/desirable or undesirable) arising, changing, and passing away in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, without attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation towards all kinds of impurities or thought activities that are selfless and impermanent.

Such minds have self-control of not being over-powered by any kinds of impurities/feelings/emotions/ideas (thought activities) that ceaselessly coming and going in the mind, and not generating any actions/reactions/speech/expression under the influence of impurities or thought activities in the modification of the mind that are selfless and impermanent, that would hurt oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment.

It is only when the mind is functioning under the veil of ignorance and egoism, where the mind doesn't know what is non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation, and hence, the mind is being determined and over-powered by all kinds of impurities or thought activities, and would generate actions/reactions/speech/expression under the influence of impurities or thought activities in the modification of the mind, that might hurt oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment.

Like all kinds of impurities/feelings/emotions/ideas (thought activities) in the mind, the presence of fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity in the modification of the mind is something normal and common in most minds. However, if without correct understanding, self-awareness, and self-control, the mind will be over-whelmed and over-powered by the presence of fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary unrest, violence, and cruelty in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone, that is related to selfishness, pride, possessiveness, hoarding, greed, separateness, discrimination, anger, hatred, offensiveness, defensiveness, and so on.

Many minds would think and believe that by acquiring and possessing success and wealth will chase away fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, but it doesn't.

If without correct understanding, even the wealthiest and most successful or powerful people in the world are also being over-powered by fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, being the slaves of all kinds of impurities. Those that are free from fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, they are devoid of discontentment and greed, and they wouldn't be hoarding wealth that gives them the status of wealthiness, that they don't need at all, even if they are highly successful and capable of generating abundant wealth, but they would be using their generated wealth to benefit all the others. However, most minds in the world are not in having such understanding. That's why the world is being what it is, full of all kinds of unnecessary selfishness, discrimination, hatred, unrest, corruption, violence, and cruelty.

The minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, that are being over-powered by all kinds of impurities or thought activities in the modification of the mind, would attack and hurt some others out of selfishness, pride, possessiveness, hoarding, greed, separateness, discrimination, anger, hatred, offensiveness, defensiveness, and so on, under the presence and influence of fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, even when others have no intention to hurt anyone or anything.

The minds that have correct understanding towards the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, they understand that fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity towards certain outcome or reality that might be unpleasant or undesirable don't and won't change the outcome or reality being what it is, but they are the unnecessary hindrance that would affect/impact/disturb/limit/oppress/reduce the performance of the body and mind while performing certain actions or activities, which definitely will hinder the body and mind to perform at its highest and possible ability, that would affect and determine the outcome/the result/the fruit of action/the reality.

Since fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity doesn't change the outcome/reality to be something else that it is not, or it doesn't help to make the outcome/reality to become better than what it is, but it would definitely affect/impact/limit the action in the present moment to be less efficient/productive than what it could be, that influences and determines the outcome/reality to be less efficient/desirable than what it could be, and hence, why still entertain and empower the presence of fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity, allowing fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity to affect and over-power oneself and one's performance? Under such understanding, the presence of fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity will become less and less, and eventually, it will vanish from the modification of the mind.

All types of yoga practice require attentiveness. Being attentive and careful while performing any actions, duties, and responsibilities will minimize or avoid many unnecessary energy wasting, mistakes, damages, or injuries. Fear, worry, and the sense of insecurity doesn't and cannot exist upon the mind is being fully attentive/focused/concentrated towards what is in now, in the present moment.

Fear and worry doesn't exist in the mind that knows and respects the truth of selflessness and impermanence, where there is no past or future, there is only now. One can do one's best in whatever one is doing, while allowing the fruit of action being what it is. There is no attachment or identification towards the action and the fruit of action. That is freedom.

The absence of fear vs the presence of courage

There's neither right nor wrong with the many different 'approaches' for the different minds functioning under different degrees of understanding towards oneself, or towards the selfless modification of the mind, in order to deal with certain things in the body and mind, or in life, that are not necessarily the way that they would like it to be.

Many positive empowerment training workshops in the world is about countering what the minds perceived and recognized as fear/weakness/negativity/inferiority/dissatisfaction/unhappiness/low self-esteem/lack of confidence/non-accomplishment/meaninglessness with developing/empowering/achieving/possessing the opposite of that, a.k.a. courage/strength/positivity/superiority/satisfaction/happiness/high self-esteem/high confidence/accomplishment/meaningfulness.

That might give the mind some momentary relief from certain states of the mind or conditions/limitations/shortcomings that are not how the mind would like it to be, but that doesn't really free the mind from continuously be determined/conditioned by the mind perception of duality, or the selfless impermanent qualities of names and forms, to be identifying as who/what they are.

As even all kinds of so called 'good', 'positive', 'righteous', or 'superior' qualities, are also conditional, and impermanent, that will increase or decrease being conditioned/influenced by the different experiences, situations, or physical/mental conditions that are impermanent.

The presence/development/empowerment/possession of high degrees of courage doesn't necessarily correlate with the absence of fear.

The teachings and practice of yoga and buddhism, is to free the mind from all that, or to free the mind from being determined/conditioned/limited by the mind perception of duality or the selfless impermanent qualities of names and forms, by going beyond or transcending all kinds of duality via non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation.

It's not about the presence/development/empowerment/achievement/possession of what the passionate egoistic minds perceived and recognized as courage/strength/positivity/superiority/satisfaction/happiness/high self-esteem/high confidence/accomplishment/meaningfulness.

It's about the absence of attachment/identification/craving towards all those 'good'/'higher'/'superior'/'top' qualities that most minds like and desire to be identifying as who/what they are, as well as the absence of attachment/identification/aversion towards what the mind perceived and recognized as the opposite of all that, a.k.a. fear/weakness/negativity/inferiority/dissatisfaction/unhappiness/low self-esteem/lack of confidence/non-accomplishment/meaninglessness, that most minds don't like and don't desire to be identifying with as who/what they are.

Courage is useless or needless, upon the absence of fear. So as positivity and the sense of meaningfulness is useless or needless, upon the absence of negativity and the sense of meaninglessness.

All that can be eliminated from the selfless modification of the mind via the annihilation of ignorance, the idea of 'I', and egoism.

Upon the annihilation of ignorance and egoism, devoid of the idea of 'I', attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, or upon the mind transcends all kinds of duality or the mind perception of selfless impermanent qualities of names and forms, there is no need to have the presence of something good/positive/superior to counter something bad/negative/inferior that doesn't exist in the mind at all. Such mind doesn't need to be empowered, to be strong, to be positive, or to be confident.

Even when the selfless modification of the mind is still not yet completely be free from being determined by duality or the mind perception of names and forms, where there is fear, or some other kind of impurities arising and occupying in the mind, from time to time, that's okay too, as the mind that has certain degrees of correct understanding towards itself, or towards the selfless modification of the mind, where the mind is endowed with certain degrees of non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation, this mind will be aware of what is going on in the modification of the mind, without attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, while allowing the thought activities (regardless of what the mind perceived and recognized as something good or bad/positive or negative/superior or inferior/agreeable or disagreeable) to be arising, changing, and passing away, as they are, without being over-powered by all these selfless impermanent thought activities of different qualities of names and forms arising and passing away, knowing that all these desirable and undesirable, or pleasant and unpleasant different qualities of names and forms in the mind, are all selfless and impermanent. All these different qualities of names and forms are not 'I', and there is no 'I'.

Beyond confidence

What make a person truly confident?

Nameless and formless confidence manifests naturally and effortlessly, upon the mind accepts and loves itself unconditionally, as it is. Such mind doesn't need to be confident or portray confidence.

This person doesn't need to show or prove to oneself or the world about, "I am confident."

This person doesn't need any attention, liking, support, agreement, acknowledgement, approval, affirmation, praise, and compliment coming from anyone about, "I am good enough to be confident."

This person doesn't need to be confident, to feel confident, to look confident, or to speak, stand, walk, sit, pose, or present oneself in front of the world confidently, not to say, to attend 'confidence boosting workshop/training', or to be inspired and empowered, to become a highly confident person, or to boost the existing confidence level to become 'more' confident than what it is.

Confidence doesn't come from learning, or training, or pretending.

True confidence doesn't come from desirable physical and mental condition/appearance/abilities/achievements, family or social background, social and financial status, family ties, relationship and friendship, social interaction activities, accumulated knowledge/experience/success/accomplishment, level of education and intelligence, talents or super extraordinary talents, and etc.

Confidence doesn't come from the presence and absence of any particular name and form, not to say, it doesn't come from participating in any kind of confidence empowerment workshop or training.

Confidence doesn't come from thinking, believing, acknowledging, affirming, projecting, and identifying as, "I am super confident."

If a person needs to attend certain kind of confidence empowerment workshop or training, then, no matter how many times and how much one has been undergoing such confidence empowerment training, trying to learn to become confident, to be getting deserving acceptance, appreciation, acknowledgement, recognition, liking, love, praise, and compliment from oneself and all the others about, "Yes. I am now good enough to be accepted and loved by myself and everyone else, and hence, I am a highly confident person," and presents oneself 'confidently' in front of the mirror or to the world based on what the mind thinks and believes as 'confidence', confidence will still be non-existing in this person.

One just need to stop trying to be good and successful enough in order to be able to accept and love oneself, to be proud of oneself, and to make other people to be proud of oneself, or to be 'deserving' to be getting attention, love, liking, support, agreement, acceptance, acknowledgement, recognition, approval, affirmation, praise, and compliment from all and everyone, and unconditional confidence will manifest as it is, naturally and effortlessly.

It's not about being dissatisfied with oneself in this present moment, and trying to become someone else that one is not, but having the self-awareness towards knowing what is one's strength and weakness, working on improving what is possible to be improved, and allowing impermanent changes and improvement to be happening as they are, without attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation.

Being confident doesn't mean being strong, or tough, or aggressive.

Confidence doesn't mean that one can do and achieve everything that one would like to do and achieve. It's about one is not being determined or defined by what one can do or cannot do, and can achieve or cannot achieve. One doesn't need to feel and be proud of oneself, and doesn't need other people to feel and be proud of oneself.

When the mind has gone beyond all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are selfless and impermanent, when the mind is no longer being determined by any selfless impermanent quality of names and forms to be "I", or "who/what I am", then, the nameless and formless confidence will be there, as it is, without the mind thinking, believing, acknowledging, affirming, projecting, and identifying as "I am super confident."

Pride and arrogance, shame and humility, or envy and jealousy, don't exist in such mind.

Success and failure, achievement and non-achievement, or superiority and inferiority, mean nothing to such mind.

One is neither lack of confidence (I think I am not good enough and undeserving) nor full of confidence (I think I am good enough and highly deserving).

One is beyond what the worldly passionate egoistic minds think and believe as 'confidence'.

Such mind doesn't admire or look down on anyone.

Such mind doesn't even compare or compete with itself, not to say, to be comparing and competing with anyone else, even when one is actively engaging in certain kind of competitive competition.

Such mind never stop improving itself even when it is resting in contentment and is being comfortable with itself, as it is (NOT because it is discontented with itself, thinking and believing that itself is 'not good enough', or 'never good enough', or 'non-deserving'), and it does its best in whatever it is pursuing, without forcing itself beyond its limitation, without fear, without expectation, and it allows and respects the fruit of action being what it is, being undetermined by the action and the fruit of action.

Acceptance and unconditional loving kindness doesn't mean that one must be engaging in a form of relationship with all and everyone

Some minds misunderstood that acceptance and unconditional loving kindness is about (continuing) to be engaging in a form of relationship/family ties/connection/life sharing or physical and mental interaction with some others (including one's close family members, life partner, relatives and friends), even if there is the presence of certain regular/ongoing/repetitive intentional and random abusive hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction deriving from the disturbed/confused/violent/suffering/restless/offensive/defensive/possessive state of mind under the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness, or mental deformity/limitation/illness. Or, in another term, allowing/supporting/empowering/giving opportunities to others to be continuously generating abusive hurtful damaging physical and mental behavior/action/reaction out of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness or disturbed state of mind/mental illness that cause intentional and random hurtful damages/suffering unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone, that is evitable, that can be avoided.

The presence/existence of acceptance and unconditional loving kindness in the mind towards all and everyone in this world of selfless impermanent names and forms, is about one is resting in unconditional peace not being disturbed or determined by the ignorance of others. It doesn't mean that this mind needs to be engaging in a form of relationship/family ties/connection/life sharing or physical and mental interaction with all and everyone that are existing selflessly and impermanently in this world that doesn't belong to anyone.

Not engaging in any form of relationship/family ties/connection/life sharing or physical and mental interaction with anyone, it doesn't mean that acceptance and unconditional loving kindness is absent/non-existing in the mind. It doesn't mean that one doesn't or cannot accept/respect/love and be kind to others unconditionally for being what they are, as they are.

Acceptance and unconditional loving kindness, where oneself has the correct understanding that allows oneself to accept/respect/love and be kind towards all beings/minds as they are, that gives rise to unconditional peace in oneself under the presence of non-discrimination/non-aversion/non-violence/non-judgment/non-interference (the absence of discrimination/aversion/violence/judgment/interference) towards all the other beings/minds that are functioning/thinking/reasoning/understanding/feeling/desiring/behaving/acting/reacting under the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness, or mental deformity/limitation/illness, it doesn't mean that one should (continuing) be engaging in a form of relationship/family ties/connection/life sharing or physical and mental interaction with all the others (including one's existing close family members, life partner, relatives and friends), that involve(s) certain regular/ongoing/repetitive intentional and random abusive hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction deriving from the disturbed/confused/violent/suffering/restless/offensive/defensive/possessive state of mind, or mental deformity/limitation/illness.

One has the freedom of choice to move away from such beings/minds as much as possible, to NOT allowing/supporting/empowering/giving opportunities to these beings/minds to be continuously generating abusive hurtful damaging physical and mental behavior/action/reaction out of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness/disturbed state of mind/mental illness that cause intentional and random hurtful damages/suffering unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone.

One is not being disturbed or determined by the hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction of the others, understanding that all those beings/minds that are behaving/acting/reacting in a hurtful damaging way towards themselves/others/the surrounding environment is due to the presence of ignorance/mental illness, while respecting/allowing all beings/minds to be what they are, as they are, without discrimination/aversion/violence/judgment/interference towards all those beings/minds that are functioning/thinking/reasoning/understanding/feeling/desiring/behaving/acting/reacting under the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness, or mental deformity/limitation/illness, but one doesn't need to be staying/standing there, not moving away from such beings/minds and their intentional and random abusive hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction.

More importantly, one is free from the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness, where one has the clarity of thinking and peace in the mind deriving from the presence of correct understanding (the absence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness or mental illness), and hence, one doesn't behave/act/react in a hurtful damaging way that hurt oneself and others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone.

Even if one is aware of oneself is inevitably functioning under the influence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness, or is suffering from certain kind of mental deformity/limitation/illness, it's okay, be kind to oneself, accept that this mind is not perfect, that it is unwell, while without discrimination, aversion, or judgment towards oneself (the selfless mind) that is unwell, but, under the presence of certain degrees of precious self-awareness (being aware of the state of oneself/the state of mind, or what is going on in the modification of one's mind), being aware of oneself might be behaving/acting/reacting in certain way that would cause hurtful damaging consequences unto oneself and/or others, that is evitable, that can be avoided, this mind can have self-initiative and self-effort to start looking after the well-being of itself (the selfless thinking faculty or the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind), so that this mind would minimize or avoid hurting oneself and/or others.

One doesn't and cannot interfere with all the others being what they are, as they are, or control/discipline/transform the others to be or not to be in certain way, but one can have self-awareness, self-control, self-initiative, self-effort, self-discipline, and determination, to be undergoing self-transformation or mind purification process (changing one's mind's behavior pattern, or modifying/quieting the modification of one's mind, or thinning-out/annihilating ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness in the mind), or even, attaining the ultimate direct self-realization towards the truth of selflessness.

However, many minds, including those that are highly educated, talented, intelligent, knowledgeable, and so called highly successful, accomplished, influential, and powerful in this world, might have lost or don't have that certain degrees of essential self-awareness, of knowing what is going on in themselves, where the mind is completely ignorant towards the presence of ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness/mental illness in themselves, where one doesn't have the clarity of thinking and peace in the mind, being over-powered by the intense ignorance/egoism/impurities/restlessness or mental deformity/limitation/illness, and hence, one would constantly behave/act/react in a hurtful damaging way that hurt oneself and others and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone, either intentionally or randomly. The ongoing and endless unrest, selfishness, greed, discrimination, exploitation, violence, self-harm, harm others, and cruelty in the world that doesn't belong to anyone, is a reflection of the existence of many minds that are unwell.

Be understanding and be kind towards all these disturbed restless suffering minds, by not being disturbed or determined by these minds and their disturbing hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction, by NOT allowing/supporting/empowering/giving opportunities to these minds to continuously generate hurtful damaging behavior/action/reaction unto oneself by moving away from these minds as much as possible, while allowing them to be aware of what is going on in themselves, or not, and whether they will help and look after themselves, or not. As none can remove the ignorance/suffering for another, not even one's close family members/life partner/relatives/friends, but only by oneself through one's own self-awareness, freewill, self-initiative, self-effort, self-control, self-discipline, and determination.

The sincere yoga practitioners renounced all kinds of worldly relationships/family ties/connections/interactions, including the non-problematic ones, not to say, relationships/family ties/connections/interactions that involves intentional and random abusive hurtful damaging behavior, in order to be looking after the over-all well-being of oneself, before one can help those that one loves and cares very much, that also need to know how to help themselves and look after the over-all well-being of themselves.

That's why don't wait until the mind loses that certain degrees of precious self-awareness. One must be able to help oneself, as none can help oneself if one loses or doesn't have the basic ability/awareness to help oneself, even if help from others is always available.

Upon attaining direct self-realization towards the truth of selflessness, a.k.a timelessness, oneness, non-separateness, namelessness, formlessness, attributelessness, birthlessness, and deathlessness, all kinds of myths, fairy tales, white lies, or superstitions created by the minds that were/are functioning under the veil of ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, with the intention to sow fear and temptation in other minds, to be tempting, threatening, intimidating, exploiting, bullying, and oppressing other minds, in order to gain certain power of control towards other minds to be or not to be in certain way in accordance to their own selfish desires and don't desires, regardless of whether it's within a family or a community, will all dissolve and disappear from the mind.

Such mind is fearless and peaceful as it is, regardless of the existence of all kinds of man made madness in this world, while respecting the law of nature and all kinds of selfless impermanent changes as they are, devoid of the idea of 'I' and the egoistic attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment, or expectation. That is liberation.

It's one's own responsibility towards all one's actions and reactions

"It's you and your actions, that is responsible for the state of my mind, that is responsible for why I feel disturbed, hurt, disappointed, and angry, as well as be responsible for why and how I react with damaging and hurtful behavior towards you out of my disturbed, hurt, disappointed, and angry state of mind that is caused by you and your actions. You need to be responsible for your actions. You are responsible for the state of my mind. My mind is in a state of disturbance, hurt, disappointment, and anger, as well as my violent hurtful actions and reactions towards you and your actions, is all due to you and your actions."

Inquire towards this common understanding and reaction of the many minds in this world, where the minds react and feel disturbed, hurt, disappointed, and angry, upon coming in contact with certain actions/reactions/expressions/speech/behaviors of some others that the mind perceives and recognizes as disturbing, hurtful, disappointing, or anger deserving, that it thinks and believes as what is responsible for the reactions from the others.

It's true that all and everyone is responsible for one's own actions and the consequences of one's actions.

But one must also understand that one's own reactions, or how oneself (chooses to) reacts towards the actions and reactions of the others and their consequences, or towards whatever one perceives and experiences, it's also one's own responsibility.

All and everyone are responsible for their own actions and reactions, as well as the consequences of all that.

It's one's own freedom of choice under the influence of one's own understanding and non-understanding, towards all one's actions and reactions, and be responsible for the consequences of that, as well as be responsible towards the states of one's mind.

It's one's own freedom of choice and responsibility towards how oneself wants to act and react in certain way, or not, towards whatever oneself comes in contact with, or perceives and experiences.

It's one's own freedom of choice and responsibility towards one's way of thinking, belief and disbelief, understanding and non-understanding, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, acceptance and non-acceptance, desires and don't desires, action and non-action, reaction and non-reaction, and feel or don't feel (the restless modifications of one's mind), as well as towards the consequences of all that.

It's one's own freedom of choice and responsibility towards whether oneself wants to free one's mind from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or not.

Different minds act, and react differently towards the same name and form, experience, affair, event, condition, or situation, under the influence of the many different ways of thinking, belief and disbelief, understanding and non-understanding, likes and dislikes, agreements and disagreements, acceptance and non-acceptance, desires and don't desires, and feel or don't feel.

It is not the particular name and form, experience, affair, event, condition, or situation, has certain quality that is determining how all minds should act and react in certain way, or not.

The mind that understands this, it understands that all the minds that have such common (incorrect) understanding and reaction, it's because these minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, or under the absence of correct understanding.

The mind that understands this, it won't be disturbed or determined by the different actions and reactions of all and everyone, and the consequences of all that. All and everyone has the freedom and responsibility towards the states of themselves (their states of mind), towards their modifications of mind, and towards all their actions and reactions under the influence of their own understanding and non-understanding.

The minds that would act and react in the way that is violent, damaging, and hurtful towards oneself and others, it's because they are not well. They are ill (mentally unwell). These are the minds that would be disturbed, hurt, disappointed, or angry by the disagreeable/unpleasant/damaging/hurtful actions and reactions of some other minds that are also unwell, that are restless/peaceless, that are ignorant, that are in suffering, due to the presence of ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

Why would a mind that understands this, that is devoid of ignorance and egoism, would be disturbed, hurt, disappointed, or angry by the actions and reactions of the many minds in this world that are unwell, that are restless/peaceless, that are ignorant, that are in suffering, that are acting and reacting in the way that is damaging and hurtful towards oneself and others, due to the presence of ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness in themselves?

Why would someone who has correct understanding be angry with a stone or a wall that is there being what it is, that oneself ran into and got hurt, while intentionally hurting oneself further more by kicking and punching the stone or the wall, out of anger and hurt, in order to revenge?

Meanwhile, one can choose to act in certain way, or not, in this world, without being disturbed or determined by the ignorant actions and reactions of the others.

"A's action and reaction is A's own freedom of choice and responsibility. B's action and reaction towards A's action and reaction is B's own freedom of choice and responsibility."

Before the mind realizes the truth of selflessness and impermanence, or when the mind is still functioning under the presence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, then the states of mind is autonomously being influenced/determined by the influential energy fields and elements (Gunas) that fuel the selfless existence and function of the mind, or be determined and disturbed by the selfless mind perception of names and forms perceived through the senses, of whatever the mind comes in contact with, perceives, or experiences. But, the mind can transcend all that, under the absence of the idea of 'I' and attachment, and no longer be influenced/determined/disturbed by all that, including the different energy fields a.k.a states of mind, that are selfless and impermanent, through annihilating the veil of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, by quieting and silencing the restless selfless modifications of the mind.

That is the true and highest freedom, knowledge, and power.

That is liberation.

Self love and self care

Self love and self care is commonly being understood as focusing on making oneself more happy or less unhappy by doing what will make oneself feel good and happy, or avoiding what will make oneself feel bad and unhappy, as well as pampering oneself in all kinds of pleasurable material and sensual enjoyments, or gratifying all one's desires of craving and aversion, empowering selfishness, ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

Self love and self care in the teachings and practice of yoga, is not about that, but it's about being able to have the self-initiation and self-effort to be looking after the over-all physical and mental well-being of oneself while still having certain degrees of basic essential awareness and sanity, by working diligently to be freeing one's mind from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness, to annihilate the idea of 'I', attachment, identification, desires of craving and aversion, expectation, greed, pride, selfishness, possessiveness, separateness, discrimination, fear, anger, and hatred, to be attaining mental and emotional independence, where the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking mind is no longer being determined by the mind perception towards all kinds of selfless and impermanent names and forms, experiences, ties and connections, relationships, interactions, activities, affairs, events, conditions, or situations, that are pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, and enjoyable or non-enjoyable, transcending duality, or the sense of goodness and badness, righteousness and wrongfulness, happiness and unhappiness, joyfulness and joylessness, meaningfulness and meaninglessness, positiveness and negativeness, success and failure, pride and shame, deserving and undeserving, pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering, and etc.

One needs to be able to be kind towards oneself unconditionally (stops hurting oneself/the body and the mind) before one can truly be kind towards all and everyone unconditionally, without discrimination, attachment, or expectation (stops hurting all and everyone out of a disturbed/peaceless/fearful/defensive/violent/confused/ignorant/discontented/ambitious impure restless state of mind).

To be kind towards oneself, is about the selfless mind is being able to accept itself as it is unconditionally, or accepting the condition of the physical body and the state of the modification of the mind, that are selfless and impermanent, as they are, unconditionally.

Only when the mind can accept itself as it is unconditionally, or respecting all the selfless impermanent changes in the body and mind as it is, or accepting the perceived reality in the present moment now as they are, then only it can accept all and everyone as they are, and respecting the world as it is, unconditionally.

Only when the mind is able to look after itself, or is able to be resting in unconditional peace, then only it can have the ability to look after some others.

If the mind knows and understands

If the mind knows and understands towards impermanence and selflessness, and the nature's law of cause and effect, it will be resting in peace, as it is.

It is devoid of the idea of 'I'.

The sense of separateness and discrimination, the sense of superiority and inferiority, the sense of low/high self-esteem, the sense of belonging and possessiveness, or all kinds of duality of success and failure, achievement and non-achievement, enjoyment and suffering, deserving and non-deserving, meaningfulness and meaninglessness, positiveness and negativeness, goodness and badness, joyfulness and joylessness, pride and shame, inspiration and aspiration, and so on, as well as castes, sects, ranks, titles, social status, superstitions, fairy tales, hypocrisy, manipulations, untruthfulness, justification, and etc, don't exist in it.

It is desireless, and hence, it is fearless.

It won't feel disturbed, hurt, intimidated, bullied, threatened, belittled, humiliated, annoyed, provoked or disappointed by anyone and anything, even if other minds have the intention to behave in the way that meant to be disturbing, hurting, intimidating, bullying, threatening, belittling, humiliating, annoying, provoking or disappointing others.

It can be disagreeing with and non-empowering other minds and their thinking/belief/values/desires/behavior/action/reaction under the influence of ignorance and egoism, while it won't have anger and hatred or discrimination and bias treatment towards anyone and anything.

All minds have the freedom for being what they are, as they are.

It can be performing or not performing certain actions that might or might not ignite certain awareness/reflection or bring certain improvement into the world of ignorance and egoism, without intention to be controlling or influencing anyone and anything to be or not to be in certain way, without expectation towards anyone and anything has to be or not to be in certain way.

The selfless intentionless mirror has the selfless intentionless purpose that serves as a selfless reflector that reflects the reflection of all kinds of objects being reflected upon it, but whether the objects perceive and see their reflection upon the mirror, or not, and how they perceive and react towards their reflection, it's their own freedom and responsibility.

The difference between a selfless mirror and a selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking acting mind, is that the mirror doesn't have the awareness, thinking faculty and mobility (freewill and survival instinct) to act/react/decide upon whether to move away from any detrimental harsh and critical conditions and situations, while the selfless mind has the selfless limited and conditional awareness, thinking faculty and mobility to act/react/decide upon whether to move away, or not, from any conditions and situations, as well as how and when it acts/reacts/decides, either under the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, or free from the influence of ignorance and all those by-products of ignorance.

Selflessness and compassion (fearlessness, contentment, simplicity, desirelessness, dispassion, renunciation, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-judgment, non-discrimination, non-expectation, respecting the nature's law of cause and effect, and etc) doesn't mean that the mind should deny as well as empower all kinds of ignorance, or shouldn't disagree with and protest against all kinds of ignorant ideas, affairs and behaviors, or doesn't perform actions to be looking after the general well-being of oneself and others and the surrounding environment, or shouldn't move away from any detrimental harsh and critical conditions and situations if there is possibility to do so.

It can be living in seclusion and solitude or living among the diverse society, and it can be in action or inaction, while it is kind and friendly towards all and everyone as it is, without discrimination, desire, intention or expectation towards all and everyone or the world should or shouldn't be in certain way.

It is at peace, unconditionally, being undetermined and undisturbed by all kinds of selfless impermanent changes, affairs, events, relationships, ties and connections, interactions, activities, conditions and situations in the world.

It is devoid of grief and painful sorrow, guilt and regret, missing and longing.

Because it knows and understands that all the minds that would think, believe, desire, behave, act and react in the way that is disturbing, destructive, violent, cruel, damaging and hurtful towards oneself and others and the surrounding environment, regardless of whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is because these minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, while being ignorant towards all that. These minds are ill, or not well, even though from the appearance, they might appear to be achieving and enjoying many things in many ways. They are not free, even if they think and believe that they are highly powerful, being on top of the world, and can have anything exactly the way that they desire, but then, none and nothing can escape, or conquer, or change the truth of selflessness and impermanence, and the nature's law of cause and effect.

Even though none can escape, or conquer, or change the truth of selflessness and impermanence, and the nature's law of cause and effect, however, one can transcend all that while not being determined by all that, upon knowing and understanding all that via self-inquiry and self-realization by purifying, disciplining and quieting the modification of the mind, and thus, be free from ignorance and the suffering arising from ignorance.

If the mind is in a state of suffering/violence/disturbance/hurts/disappointment/anger/hatred/painful sorrow, and so on, that is because this mind doesn't know and hasn't realize/understand towards selflessness and impermanence, and the nature's law of cause and effect.

Out of ignorance, the mind thinks and believes that its state of suffering is inflicted/caused by the names and forms that it experiences, that it thinks and believes as 'bad', 'wrong', 'negative', 'terrible', 'unpleasant', 'hurtful', 'disturbing', 'disappointing', 'intimidating', 'sorrowful', 'anger and hatred deserving', and so on.

Out of such incorrect understanding (the presence of ignorance, and being ignorant towards ignorance), the mind would behave/act/react in the way that is disturbing, destructive, violent, cruel, damaging and hurtful towards oneself and others and the surrounding environment. The world is indeed full of minds that are in such state.

Anger and hatred, or aversion and violence towards the minds that are being perceived as ignorant, selfish, greedy, cruel, wrongful and evil due to ignorance and egoism, doesn't stop them from being what they are, and it won't help the minds that are under the influence of ignorance and egoism to be free from ignorance and egoism.

The highest duty and responsibility of all minds in this world, is to look after one's mind, to have correct understanding, and have peace. Without all these, everything else is nothing.

Without correct understanding and peace, there will be ceaseless disturbance and violence in oneself, that spreads into the surrounding community and environment, that affect all and everyone and everything locally and globally.

The highest liberation/freedom/independence, is being free from ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

The highest power/ability/knowledge is not about achieving/possessing/enjoying/knowing/experiencing/creating many things, but it is the power/ability/knowledge of letting go everything.

The condition and situation in the world that doesn't belong to anyone, is exactly the reflection of the state of mental health of many minds.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

Inquire towards selflessness and impermanence that is crucial to world peace

One can inquire towards selflessness and impermanence either by observing the entire space of the surrounding environment, or the function and condition of the physical body, or the breath.

There are constant ceaseless changes.

The surrounding environment, or the physical body, or the breath, is different from moment to moment.

There are no consecutive moments that will be the same.

The sights, the lights, the sounds, the smells, the atmosphere, the weather, the seasons, the objects, the plants, the habitats, the living creatures, the sky, the clouds, the air/gas formation, the rivers and streams, the mountains, the land, the ocean, the plateau, the fields, the physical condition, the mental state, the thinking, the sensations, the feelings, the emotions, as well as every breath that comes and goes, is never the same one.

Even after the physical body stops functioning, or dies, the lifeless physical body will still be undergoing selfless impermanent changes of decomposing/disintegrating.

There is not a single permanent unchanging 'existence' or 'state' in any kind of name and form, except the limitless, substanceless, attributeless, nameless, formless, birthless, deathless, beginningless, endless, selfless space that hosts all and everything that are selfless and impermanent.

One can capture one particular photo of a particular moment with the best camera that is available and still functional, but the photo printout (the quality of a particular image) itself is selfless and impermanent, constantly changing, aging/fading, and decaying. The camera, is selfless and impermanent. The one who captures a photo with the camera, is selfless and impermanent. Even the digital copy of a particular captured image that is stored in a memory storage somewhere, is also selfless and impermanent, that is limited and conditional, which can be modified, or manipulated, or corrupted, or disrupted, or deleted/destroyed, at particular cause and pace, either intentionally or unintentionally. Not to say, the ceaseless selfless impermanent changes in all kinds of living creatures. All and everything are existing, changing, and ceased existing, or to be what they are, under the selfless support of many different selfless elements and energy.

The space never increase nor decrease, where it is not being determined, affected, or contaminated by all kinds of selfless impermanent names and forms being what they are, as they are, ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in the space.

The space doesn't belong to any particular name and form.

All kinds of names and forms don't belong to the space.

All kinds of names and forms don't belong to one another.

Out of ignorance and egoism, the passionate egoistic impure ignorant thinking minds claim possession, ownership, and authority towards certain 'space', 'nature', 'habitat', 'land', 'ocean', 'water', 'living creatures', 'other minds', 'objects', and etc, while ceaselessly generate unnecessary damages and destructions towards all and everything as much as possible, consciously and unconsciously, intentionally and randomly, under the influence of all kinds of mental corruption/defilement/impurity of the sense of belonging, the sense of separateness, the sense of pride, possessiveness, greed, desires, ambitions, craving towards wealth and possession accumulation, abundant pleasurable enjoyments, and comfortable conveniences, selfishness, fear, protectiveness, restlessness, dissatisfaction, anger, hatred, discrimination, offensiveness, defensiveness, and so on, on top of the basic survival instinct to be maintaining selfless impermanent life existence, or to feed hunger and thirst as well as to be sheltered from injury, disease, harshness, or extreme conditions.

Survival instinct alone doesn't cause unnecessary evitable damages and destructions unto oneself and others or the surrounding environment.

It's the presence of ignorance and egoism.

"This is our land."

"This is our home."

"This is our root, origin, culture, belief, values, and practices."

"This is our pride, identities, possessions, rights, and authorization."

And so on.

Out of all these corrupted ignorant thinking, ideas, and statements, the minds discriminate and hurt one another, as well as hurt and destroy the surrounding living environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

The passionate egoistic impure ignorant minds think and believe and propagate that, "We need to protect what belongs to us, that is ours, and we have the duty and responsibility to protect our land, our home, our family, our children, our next generations, our community, our country, our resources, our environment, our livelihood, our planet, our space, our culture, our belief, our values, our visions, ..." while actually hurting and damaging all and everything that they think and believe that needed to be protected by them from hurt and damage.

"Treat this house as if it's your own house." So say the ignorant wicked petty-minded protective house owners to the guests/renters, believing and expecting (threatening) that people will look after the welfare of 'the house and the things in the house', especially if they are being treated as 'ours', otherwise, the guests/renters will not look after the welfare of 'the house and the things in the house', but for sure, they will be deliberately causing damages to 'the house and the things in the house', because it doesn't belong to 'us' but 'others'.

None need to be claiming ownership/possession/identification/pride/protectiveness towards anything, in order to be looking after the over-all well-being of all and everything without the sense of belonging, separateness, and discrimination, but out of correct understanding, self-initiative, freewill, wisdom, and selfless compassion.

All minds can have the self-initiative to be looking after the over-all well-being of oneself, others, and the surrounding environment or the space that doesn't belong to anyone, that is selflessly shared among all and everyone of all kinds of diversities, without the need of the sense of belonging, identification, pride, possessiveness, and protectiveness, if the minds are free from ignorance and egoism.

Just as the selfish protective parents want to 'protect' the children that they 'love' very much, and hence, they want to 'influence', 'manipulate', 'threaten', and 'control' the children to be and not to be in certain way, not knowing that they are actually inflicting so much unnecessary hurtful damages to the physical/mental/emotional well-being of the children that they strongly think and believe that they belonged to them, that they 'love' and 'protect' very much, where the parents repeatedly 'punish' and 'hurt' the children physically/mentally/emotionally whenever they are not being the way that the parents would like them to be.

At the same time, the parents tell themselves and the children, "We are doing this (hurting you and everything that belong to us) because we love you and everything very much. We want you and everything to be 'good and right' the way that we think and believe is 'good and right'."

Let it go, if one truly loves something or anything.

Letting go of something, it doesn't mean that one will not be looking after the general welfare of something, or will be deliberately generating unnecessary hurtful damages unto something (that doesn't belong to 'I', or 'us', or 'them', or 'others', or 'anyone').

One can truly be looking after the welfare of everything by stop hurting anything out of 'love' and possessiveness.

The world will be a place of more peace and less unrest, if more minds are free from ignorance and egoism, which is nothing to do with whether the minds are highly educated/literate/intelligent/knowledgeable/talented/successful/wealthy/attractive/admirable/influential/powerful, or not, as all these qualities don't determine whether a mind is free from ignorance and egoism, or not.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

The world is everything, everything is the world

The world is all and everything. All and everything is the world.

The world doesn't own all and everything. All and everything don't own the world.

The world doesn't belong to anyone and anything. Everyone and everything don't belong to the world.

They are not separated from one another.

Out of ignorance and egoism, the ignorant egoistic minds claimed ownership, possession, and authorization towards the world.

The ignorant egoistic minds desire to make or control the world that they think and believe is theirs, to be and not to be in certain way in accordance to what they desire and don't desire.

All the different ignorant egoistic minds want to get rid of what they don't like, don't agree with, and don't desire from the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while they don't want to be sharing this space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything with some others, and constantly fighting against one another in order to achieve their particular vision of the world that they desire it to be.

Similarly,

The selfless existence and function of a selfless physical body is made up of different selfless components that work together that enabling the selfless physical body to be existing and functioning as what it is, under the selfless support of the selfless supportive elements and energy.

Without the different selfless components, there is no selfless physical body, and vice versa.

Without the selfless supportive elements and energy, there is no selfless physical body existing and functioning as it is.

But if any of these selfless components are not selfless, but all are functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism, where all the different components claimed ownership, possession, and authorization over the physical body, and they all want the physical body to be and not to be in certain way that is in accordance to the different desires and don't desires of all the different components, and that is exactly what is happening in this world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

It's like,

The left hand doesn't agree with the right hand, and they are fighting against and hurting each other.

The feet don't like the head, and want to cause damages to the head.

The head doesn't like the hands and want to get rid of the hands.

The stomach wants to get rid of the liver.

The kidneys want to get rid of the stomach.

The liver wants to get rid of the spleen.

The spleen wants to get rid of the bladder.

The bladder wants to get rid of the lungs.

The lungs want to get rid of the heart.

The heart wants to get rid of the glands.

The glands want to get rid of the pancreas.

The muscles want to get rid of the bones.

The collar bone doesn't agree with the spine, and wants to get rid of the spine.

The spine wants to get rid of the muscles around it.

The bones want to get rid of the skin.

The skin wants to get rid of the hair.

The hair want to get rid of the ears.

The eyes want to get rid of the nose.

The nose wants to get rid of the eyes and the ears.

The tongue doesn't want to share the space of the mouth that doesn't belong to anyone and anything with the teeth. While the different senses of different flavor within the tongue are hating one another and want to get rid of each other.

The back muscles are hating the abdominal muscles for sharing the space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

The intestines don't want the rectum and the anus to be sharing the space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

The blood is being discriminating towards certain components, and only wants to supply nutrients and oxygen to certain components and not to some other components.

The upper teeth are fighting with the lower teeth, while the lower teeth are hating and fighting against each other.

The knees don't want the ankles being part of the legs that don't belong to anyone and anything.

The thumb doesn't like the fingers to be sharing the hand that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

And so on.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

The world is what it is

The selfless impermanent world is existing, and it is called 'the world', because it is what all and everything are. They are non-separated.

There is no world if there isn't any kind of selfless impermanent worldly existence of names and forms being existing here in this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Apart from the inevitable selfless impermanent changes due to the inevitable natural decaying process that exists along with all kinds of selfless impermanent names and forms since the beginning of existence, the perceived world is merely what it is (or all and everything are merely being what they are, as they are), it is nothing but the consequences of all kinds of actions/reactions of the selfless minds, where the selfless impermanent changes in the world are indeed influenced and impacted greatly by the sum actions/reactions of the selfless minds that had been, and are occupying this space of the universe that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Some minds justify that survival instinct (hunger and thirst) is the reason why there are so many selfishness, greed, discrimination, fear, occupation, fighting, and violence related affairs, events, or suffering existing in this world.

Survival instinct alone, if without the influence of ignorance and egoism, it doesn't cause unnecessary damages (or evitable suffering) to the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything. The world exists along with all kinds of supportive essential elements for all kinds of existence to be catering the different basic needs of all kinds of names and forms to be existing, maintaining (surviving), and ceased existing. If without the presence of the selfless supportive elements, nothing can exist, there is no world.

Hunger and thirst (lack of energy/energy depletion) -> finding/consuming food and water that doesn't belong to anyone or anything (replenishing energy that doesn't belong to anyone or anything) -> either surviving (energy replenished) or ceased functioning and existing/dying and disintegrating (prolonged and complete energy depletion). Devoid of greed, hoarding, possessiveness, separateness, selfishness, protectiveness, fear, discrimination, or ceaseless and boundless desires for abundant pleasurable enjoyments of the senses beyond basic needs for survival. The earth doesn't belong to anyone. The space, the land, the air, the water, or nature doesn't belong to anyone. There are enough basic needs for all selfless impermanent existence of diverse names and forms to be shared among all and everything that are selfless and impermanent.

It's the presence of ignorance and egoism on top of the survival instinct in the minds that had been and are occupying in the world that is selfless and impermanent, that is limited and conditional, that is why there are many unnecessary human made hurtful physical/mental/emotional damages (evitable suffering deriving from ignorance and egoism) being generated by the passionate impure egoistic minds functioning under the influence of ignorance and egoism into the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

It's not survival instinct, but it's the presence of ignorance and egoism that gives rise to the non-existing individual and community existence, separateness, fear towards unknown/death/ceased functioning and existing/non-existence/extinction, craving towards the absence of hunger and thirst (pain and unpleasantness), aversion towards the presence of hunger and thirst, clinging towards continuous supply of supportive elements for desirable comfortable enjoyable elongated life existence, hoarding, possessiveness, selfishness, greed, protectiveness, discrimination, personal and group identities, pride, ideas, beliefs, visions, aspirations, ambitions, desires, politics/power of control, ungratified desires of craving (wants) and aversion (don't wants), dissatisfaction, disappointment, frustration, irritation, anger, hatred, defensiveness, offensiveness, humiliation, retaliation, intimidation, fighting, invasion, occupation, violence, and so on.

Inquire the truth of everything. Attain self-realization towards selflessness and impermanence, and be free.

One will stop generating hurtful action/reaction unto oneself and others, or the world of many diversities in this space of the universe that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

This (non-violence) is nothing to do with the passionate possessive impure egoistic limited and conditional loving kindness/sympathy/empathy/protectiveness under the influence of ignorance and egoism, where all and everyone are fighting against/hurting one another trying to possess and protect what they think and believe is them and theirs, that they love very much, while all and everyone are indeed hurting all and everything that they think and believe that they love very much, that they think and believe are them and theirs.

None can remove the ignorance and egoism in others for others, but only by the mind itself, alone.

The mind that knows, the mind that is devoid of ignorance and egoism, the mind that is devoid of attachment and identification/possessiveness and protectiveness/craving and aversion/fear and greed/anger and hatred/separateness and discrimination/desires and visions/intention and expectation, the mind that lets go and unattached towards all and everything, the mind that respects cause and effect, nature, or selfless impermanent changes/decaying process, the mind that is resting in silence, is free.
