Understanding, non-understanding, misunderstanding

Regardless of the different degrees of intelligence, education, learning, experience, talent, skill, ability, and knowledge accumulation, one can be understanding, or non-understanding, or misunderstanding towards something and/or all and everything.

Understanding/correct understanding/uncontaminated reasoning and discrimination - Beneficial towards all and everyone and everything, under the absence of self-righteousness, possessiveness, pride and shame, superiority and inferiority, envy and jealousy, discontentment and greed, anger, hatred, intimidation, interference, manipulation, or ill-will and hurtful violent action/reaction/behavior/activity towards all and everyone and everything, regardless of what other minds perceived/reasoned/recognized/judged/understood as pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, kind or unkind, wise or ignorant, good or evil, respectful or disrespectful, complimentary or offensive, promotive or obstructive, and constructive or destructive. Performing actions/activities that are beneficial towards all and everyone and everything indiscriminately and unconditionally, while respecting all and everyone and everything being what they are, as they are, and that are constantly changing under their own respective cause and pace.

Non-understanding - Could be benefiting or harming oneself and others and the surrounding environment with random action/reaction/behavior/activity that could be either constructive or destructive, beneficial or harmful, consciously/semi-consciously/randomly/ignorantly and unconsciously/autonomously/instinctively/unwittingly.

It is okay to acknowledge that, "I don't understand this or that or anything, and I don't know how to do this or that or anything because I don't have understanding."

It is much better than, "I understand this or that or everything, and I do everything and many things under my understanding," but then the understanding is misunderstanding or incorrect understanding.

Misunderstanding/incorrect understanding/contaminated impure egoistic reasoning and discrimination - Harmful towards all and everyone and everything, under the presence and influence of self-righteousness, possessiveness, pride and shame, superiority and inferiority, envy and jealousy, discontentment and greed, anger, hatred, intimidation, interference, manipulation, or ill-will and hurtful violent action/reaction/behavior/activity towards all and everyone and everything that the mind perceived/reasoned/recognized/judged/understood as unpleasant, disagreeable, undesirable, unkind, ignorant, evil, disrespectful, offensive, obstructive, and destructive towards oneself and one's attachments and possessions (identity/title/position/reputation/image/status/pride/livelihood/health/wealth/belongings/enjoyments/learning/ability/mobility/freedom/'rights'/ancestor/family/community/friendship/relationship/culture/nationality/spirituality/religion/belief/thinking/reasoning/judgment/understanding/values/practices/desires/aspirations/visions/ambitions/achievements/contributions, and etc), while promoting and empowering what the mind perceived/reasoned/recognized/judged/understood as pleasant, agreeable, desirable, kind, wise, good, respectful, complimentary, promotive, and constructive towards oneself and one's attachments and possessions, but it is not the truth. Building one's success, accomplishment, ambition, vision, enjoyment, satisfaction, comfort, and happiness by manipulating, exploiting, intimidating, bullying, and hurting all and everyone and everything in the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Inquire the truth of everything.

Look after the well-being of the mind by the mind itself.

The minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance would think/reason/understand/believe that, "Prosperity (what the egoistic minds referred as - local and global economy generation and stimulation) derived from endless discontentment, ceaseless and boundless interactive activities/affairs/events/celebrations/festivals/interactions/ideas/inspirations/creativity/inventions/innovations/productions/trades/expansions, ties and connectivity, and boundless ambitious desires, aspirations, and visions." And hence, they strongly think and believe that contentment, dispassion, desirelessness, simplicity, silence, seclusion, renunciation, non-interaction, non-violence, non-aggressiveness, mental and emotional independence, or peace are the enemy, or obstruction, or weakness, or destruction towards 'prosperity'.

Almost all and everyone, in anywhere and everywhere in the world, especially among the highly educated, intelligent, and knowledgeable ones, are being 'educated', 'encouraged', and 'empowered' to "never be contented", "you deserve better and much more than this", "you can achieve everything that you desire", "you can be unlimited and you are unlimited", "you can fly", "keep going and reaching higher and higher", "never stop dreaming, and never stop chasing your endless dreams", "be strong, be positive, be optimistic", "enjoy life to the maximum", "become one of the top rich and powerful people", "be highly passionate and ambitious" to achieve endless and boundless desires, that generate and stimulate 'prosperity'.

All these ideas and all kinds of youth/educational/women/minority/career/business/entrepreneurship/cooperative/commercial/community/national/political/spiritual/religious/cultural empowerment even spread into the world of yoga and buddhism, particularly in the world of yoga that can be highly commercialized and can be manipulated into anything.

There are quite many 'yoga enthusiasts/practitioners/teachers' are being empowered by as well as empowering ideas, values, and practices of 'be passionate', 'one big family', 'mental and emotional dependence', 'healing power', 'indulgence of the senses', 'authorization and association', 'certification and qualification', 'be strong and stronger', 'you can fly', 'be good and do good and all goodness will come to you', 'you can be anything and achieve anything that you desire', 'auspicious/inauspicious timing, form, shape, colour, smell, sight, sound, taste, feel, texture, atmosphere, position, direction, object, accessory, decoration, happening, activity, and etc', 'positive thinking/mind power of transforming everything become all good and positive, and making all desires/dreams come true', and so on.

These passionate egoistic ideas/beliefs/values/visions/practices/encouragement/empowerment are indeed 'the fuel' that empowers 'the most serious form of evitable unnecessary mental illness', or the veil of ignorance, or the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind, or the conditional mind thinking behavior pattern being conditioned by the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, where the minds keep hurting itself and others and the surrounding environment ignorantly, by actively performing and engaging in all kinds of actions/activities, while thinking/believing/understanding that all one's actions/activities are 'good, right, meaningful, positive, beneficial, intelligent, and constructive'.

All the empowered boundless and endless greedy desires and ambitions didn't just give rise to so much unnecessary direct and indirect damages to the physical and mental health of all and everyone as well as directly and indirectly impacting the surrounding living environment of this planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, but the highly empowered ambitious minds want to extend such damaging impactful human egoistic activities beyond this planet, under the help of advance science and technology.

Without proper basic mental health that gives rise to basic correct understanding or partial incomplete understanding that leads to complete understanding or absolute knowledge, all kinds of abilities/opportunities/talents/skills/efforts/achievements/inventions/innovations/knowledge/success/status/prosperity/power/positive thinking/all kinds of identity pride/vision/ambition/aspiration are nothing but destructive towards all and everyone and everything under the presence and influence of misunderstanding or incorrect understanding (The veil of ignorance - the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness), being fed and empowered by worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, visions, practices, attachments, identities, ties and connections, interactions, affairs, and activities.

Real and beneficial prosperity of all kinds derived from ego-less efforts/activities under the presence of peace and correct understanding in oneself that contributes peace and harmony in the world (surrounding environment) of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, even if all and everything are impermanent, limited, and conditional.

Peace, silence, non-sociable, non-interactive, dispassion, desirelessness, simplicity, solitude, seclusion, mental and emotional independence, and contentment in the mind doesn't mean idleness, laziness, inaction, non-improvement, poor quality of living, living under poverty/insufficiency/extreme difficult condition, non-cooperative, anti-social, anti-education, anti-higher technology, anti-commercialism, anti-leadership/government, anti-prosperity, or non-contributing to local and global economy.

In fact, all kinds of actions/activities/works/businesses/higher advanced technology/scientific studies and research/engineering/architecture/health and medical care/inventions/innovations/productions/ties and connections/interactions/communications/affairs/duties/responsibilities/management/government/organization/basic and higher education can be carried-out ego-lessly, desirelessly, smoothly, and efficiently under the absence of the veil of ignorance, that will benefit all and everyone and everything in the surrounding environment, that will improve quality of living that doesn't need to be excessive more than sufficient basic needs for life maintenance and to have a healthy living condition of having an essential balance between physical and mental rest and activity under a peaceful environment for the momentary life existence and function of a selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self body and mind, devoid of unnecessary conflicts and problems or harmful activities and affairs in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.
