If something is limited and conditional, under specific qualities of specific names and forms, that is the by-product of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, that is the creation of the minds under the influence of all that, as well as empowering all that, then it is not real, it is not the truth.
If something is unlimited and unconditional, regardless of the different qualities of different names and forms, that doesn't empower ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, but it is eradicating ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, or the root cause of suffering, then it is real, it is the truth.
Any belief, values and practice that are limited and conditional, because they are the creation of the minds under the influence of ignorance,
egoism, impurities and restlessness, that doesn't eradicate all that, but it is encouraging and empowering all that, then it
is not real, it is not the truth.
The idea of 'I', is limited and conditional, as it cannot and doesn't exist permanently and independently, because it is the by-product of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, as well as empowering all that at the same time, and hence, it is not real, it is not the truth.
All and everything are inevitably constantly changing impermanently and selflessly under the law of cause and effect, as they are, and hence, all and everything are selfless and impermanent, as well as, selflessness and impermanence and the law of cause and effect are real, it is the truth. While the names and forms of all and everything that are changing impermanently and selflessly, that cannot and don't exist permanently and independently, are not real, even though it's the truth of everything.
Anything that is trying to be interfering with or go against selflessness and impermanence and the law of cause and effect, to be attaining momentary relief from certain suffering, but doesn't eradicate the root cause of suffering, is deriving from ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, as well as empowering all that, and hence, it is not real, it is not the truth.
All kinds of superstitious beliefs and practices are limited and conditional, because they are the products of the minds that are under the influence of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, while they don't eradicate ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, but empowering all that, and hence, it is not real, it is not the truth.
The minds that perform black magic, hypnotism, ritual or trance medium to be gratifying certain desires, as well as to be providing service to the minds that desire to be using the service of black magic, hypnotism, ritual or trance medium for gratifying certain desires, as well as the minds that desire to be using the service of black magic, hypnotism, ritual and trance medium for gratifying certain desires, it is very obvious that all these minds are not free from ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, as there are suffering or desire or discontentment deriving from all that, that is why there's a need of all those practices. Since all these practices are the creations or products of the minds under the influence of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, and under the presence of suffering, desire and discontentment deriving from all that, where not only that all these practices don't eradicate ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, but instead, they are empowering all that, and hence, all these are not real, they are not the truth.
It's understandable that, under the influence of ignorance and under the presence of intense suffering, desires and discontentment deriving from ignorance, the minds would create many beliefs, values and practices deriving from hopeful wild imaginations and anticipations that seemed to be so real to the minds, that would give momentary console or relief from the presence of intense suffering, desire and discontentment, that not only don't eradicate the root cause of suffering, but instead, are empowering the root cause of suffering.
If under the existence of such beliefs, values and practices, or just by performing such beliefs, values and practices that is so 'powerful', that claimed it can be eradicating or 'healing' all kinds of problems or physical, mental and emotional suffering in oneself and in others, magically and miraculously, then the world should already be free from all kinds of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, where there is no suffering, selfishness, possessiveness, greed, hatred, jealousy, vengeance, violence, discrimination, corruption, exploitation, separateness, oppression, bully, abuse, conflict, war, or killing among human beings, or even selfless impermanent changes of decay, illness, old age, and death, then it is the truth. But, it is not.
The teachings of yoga and buddhism doesn't claim to be 'healing' any kind of painful suffering, or removing all kinds of selfless impermanent changes or all kinds of consequences of actions in oneself, or in others, or in the world, governed by the law of cause and effect. It's not about changing the undesirable reality to be the way that the mind desires it to be. But it's about removing the root cause of suffering in oneself by oneself, and attaining self-realization to be free from all kinds of doubt, desire, discontentment and suffering deriving from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness.
Similarly, just by eating certain type of food, regardless of pure vegetarian or non-vegetarian food, or by performing certain 'good' action and not performing certain 'bad' action, or by thinking positively and not thinking negatively, if without self-inquiry, it doesn't free the mind from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, and the suffering deriving from all that.
It is the freedom of all and everyone towards what they want and don't want to think, believe and practice.
Something that is unlimited and unconditional, such as the self-realization upon the annihilation of the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, as well as the minds that had attained self-realization, they are void of ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, not to say, to be encouraging or empowering ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness. Neither will they be associating with or performing any practices that are deriving from ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, that not only don't eradicate all that, but are encouraging and empowering all that.
The minds that are free from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, and hence, are free from the suffering, desire or discontentment deriving from all that, they don't need such limited and conditional beliefs, values and practices to be gratifying certain desires, or to be attaining certain momentary console or relief from suffering, not to say, to be associating with and performing such beliefs, values and practices, to be encouraging and empowering ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness.
Perform the similar inquiry towards everything, where anything that is deriving from and empowering the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, it is not the truth. While anything that is thinning out and eradicating the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, is the truth of suffering, the cause of suffering, the path towards the end of suffering, and the end of suffering, that leads to neither suffering nor the end of suffering, because the root cause of suffering is eradicated or absent. It's not about this is the only truth, not to say, everyone must believe that this is the truth. It's also nothing magical or mystical.
Do not blind-believing, blind-following, or blind-practicing anything, including all the teachings of yoga and buddhism that the mind comes in contact with, including all that is here, but inquire the truth of everything, to attain direct realization.
