Oneness, Non-duality, Non-separateness exist in all kinds of diversities

Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness exist in the countless diversities of nature, of the diverse selfless existence of all kinds of names and forms under different qualities and characteristics, and all kinds of diversities are not contradicting against one another at all. 

Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness is the truth of what all and everything are, where all and everything that are uniquely different from one another are having the one same universal nature that exists in all kinds of diversities under all kinds of names and forms that exist under the many different qualities and characteristics having their own respective different functions and purposes, regardless of sentient and non-sentient living beings or non-living objects, to be selflessly working together and inter-supporting one another to be existing and functioning as what all and everything are.

It is about the universal truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self that exists in all and everyone and everything, that makes all kinds of diversities not distinctive or separated from one another, even when all kinds of diversities are all uniquely different in their own way being what they are, as they are, and having their own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function, changes, decay, disintegration, and ceased existence and function at their own respective cause and pace.

Diversity is the basis of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all kinds of names and forms. Without all the diverse elements that work together and inter-supporting one another selflessly, without the unconditional indiscriminate selfless active power of compassion that enabling all these names and forms to be here to be what all and everything are, none and nothing can be existing, not to say, to be functioning as anything.

All are selfless.

All are impermanent.

All are limited.

All are conditional.

All are non-self.

All are existing momentarily.

All are subject to arising, forming, changing, decaying, disintegrating, and passing away.

Just as ignorance, or being ignorant towards the truth of what all and everything are, it is NOT the opposite of highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable, or it is not about stupidity, or laziness, or uneducated and uncivilized, as being interpreted literally in the worldly dictionary of human beings.

Even the highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable, as well as hard-working and highly accomplished human beings who are not stupid, or lazy, or uneducated, or uncivilized at all, might still be functioning under the influence of ignorance, where the minds are still being over-powered and determined by the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, where the minds might not be free from generating selfish egoistic impure thoughts/ideas/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors/visions/ambitions that would hurt themselves and others and the surrounding environment being over-powered by ignorance and its by-products, either intentionally or unintentionally, wittingly or unwittingly, deliberately or randomly.

Similarly, 

Diversities is NOT the opposite of oneness, non-separateness, and non-dualism, as being interpreted literally in the worldly dictionary of human beings.

Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness are NOT about non-diversity or uniformity, where all and everyone and everything are having one single uniform quality, or one single uniform name and form, or one single uniform characteristic, or one single family/specie/gender, or one single community, or one single ethnicity, or one single belief and values, or one single philosophy, or one single culture, or one single spirituality/religion or spirituality-less/religion-less, or one single uniform way of thinking, or one single uniform way of living, or one single uniform way of conduct, or one single vision, or one single aspiration, or one single nation and nationality, or one single leader/government/authority/political view in the entire world.

Healthy evolution of the existence and function of all and everything depends very much on the availability of diversities.

Such as the inevitable need of the existence of the many diverse different family lineage or genetic inheritance in any species of all kinds of sentient living organisms under the natural law of NATURE, such as the children that are born under the marriage among the relatives of the same family lineage and genetic inheritance will have certain unhealthy physical/mental/emotional condition and evolution, not to say, among parents and children or among siblings.

The existence of the many diversities of the many different species of the sentient and non-sentient living organisms of diverse plants/insects/animals/birds/reptiles/fish/shellfish, and etc, as well as the existence of the many different climates/seasons/landscapes/oceans/lakes/things/objects/tools/knowledge/skills, and even, desirable and undesirable relationships, interactions, affairs, conditions, and experiences, are all having their own respective unique functions/purposes/duties/responsibilities to be existing and functioning as what they are, that enabling the entire world of diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything to be existing and functioning as what it is.

The absence of all kinds of discrimination and separateness is not about eliminating and destroying all kinds of diversities/communities/unique individualism/self independence/freedom of being what all and everyone are/freedom of experiencing, learning, growing, living, moving, travelling, exploring, thinking, reasoning, understanding, knowledge, inputs, and outputs or expression in the world.

The presence of all kinds of discrimination and separateness that give rise to all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering in the world of human beings under many diversities and communities that don't belong to anyone or anything, that impact, damage, and destroy the over-all physical/mental/emotional well-being of all and everyone, is deriving from the minds that are functioning under the veil of ignorance, being over-powered and determined by the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

The elimination of all kinds of discrimination and separateness is coming from the precious conscious mind evolution, that is about the annihilation of ignorance, of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in the minds of human beings that come with the unique precious functions of the conscious mind awareness, cognition, and intellectual reasoning.

The minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance would think, reason, understand, and believe that oneness, non-dualism, and non-separateness is the opposite of diversity, where they strongly against the existence of diverse unique individualism under many different uniqueness of different names and forms under different qualities and characteristics, where they desire to be achieving 'one big uniform community' that they mistaken as 'oneness, non-dualism, and non-separateness', as well as to promote and achieve what they think and believe and understand as 'non-discrimination', by discouraging, eliminating, and destroying diversity, through unifying all kinds of diversities to become one single uniform, of only having one single community under one single ethnicity/tribe/characteristic/name and form, while living and functioning under one single belief and values, under one single nation governed by one single leader/government/authority in the entire world, by exercising and materializing unification via manipulation/education/temptation as well as by enforcing fear/disciplinary/prosecution/punishment/force/threat/intimidation/invasion/occupation/violence/killing to clear out all kinds of diversity, of the existing many different diverse ethnicity/tribes/communities/cultures/spiritualities/religions/beliefs and values/nations, by imposing criminalization/prosecution/punishment/imprisonment/reeducation/reformation unto the existence of the diverse unique individualism and the diverse independent nations under different leaders/governments/authorities under the many different diversities/visions/ways of living/ways of doing things/cultures/spiritualities/religions/beliefs and values, that go against their ambitious vision of a unify world of one big community under their particular leadership or authorization.

That type of thinking, belief, values, desires, practices, and ambitious visions, is already indicating the presence of ignorance that gives rise to intense greed/selfishness/possessiveness/discrimination/aversion/control/violence towards the nature, or the truth of nature that consists of many diversities that don't belong to anyone and anything, where all and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, where all and everyone and everything are free to be existing and functioning as what they are under many different diverse qualities of names and forms, having diverse uniqueness of each and everyone and everything.

The minds that insists that the way to eliminate separateness and discrimination is by unifying all and everyone and everything to become one single uniform, through destroying all kinds of unique individualism and diversities, freedom and independence of all diverse individuals or communities, just ask them, if they can still exist and function just by having the head without the whole body of many different or diverse components/organs/systems, or having only one single organ, or one single system, or one single cell/atom/neuron/neutron/proton, or one single gland, or one single limb, or one single finger, or one single knowledge and skill.

Similarly, out of ignorance, the minds 'misuse' the literal meaning of 'Selflessness', 'Selfless actions to be working together and inter-supporting one another', 'generosity', 'unconditional loving kindness', 'compassion', 'non-attachment', 'non-expectation', 'non-judgment', 'acceptance', 'all are imperfect', 'silence', 'non-self', 'cause and effect', and 'neither good nor bad' or non-duality, to be justifying 'slavery', 'exploitation', 'submissive towards authority', 'silence against abusive ill-treatments', 'I can do whatever I desire', 'engaging in irresponsible uncommitted multiple love relationships', 'intentional hurtful behavior', 'I am performing my duty for helping 'xxx' to be judging and punishing all and everyone who are disobedient, who are bad and wrong', 'I am not responsible for anything because the biologists say that there is no freewill', 'it's the responsibility of my genes inheritance and the hormones, that is why I am what I am, and behaving in the way that I behave, it is not 'I', and there is no 'I' existing', 'why bother about engaging in all kinds of practice and observation because the biologists say that all and everything are destined to be what we are and to be evolving in certain way under an existing cause, that all kinds of changes are fixed and governed by the previous cause that is the effect of the previous previous cause in an beginningless and endless loop, that my desire is influenced by the hormones and the autonomous survival instinct, that all my thoughts and actions are also the effect of the previous cause, that everything that I experience and don't experience, and what I do and don't do in my entire existence until I ceased existing, is fixed', and etc.

Even the biologists can also be functioning under the veil of ignorance, unless they attain direct self realization towards the conscious mind evolution that enables the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty to transcend itself, of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function of the mind stuff that is non-self, that don't even belong to the thinking and acting faculty, not to say, all and everything else don't belong to anyone or anything, where the mind can be resting in peace and devoid of ignorance during the momentary selfless impermanent existence and function, not being determined or over-powered by the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and the mind stuff being what it is, that is constantly changing, decaying, disintegrating, and eventually, passing away.

Similarly, there are some minds try to curb all kinds of discrimination and separateness by restricting all kinds of diversities/individuals/communities to be what they are, as they are, by disallowing and criminalizing certain usage of words/sentences/expressions/symbols that might be sensitive or offensive for certain individuals or communities, by disallowing and criminalizing certain physical looks and appearances under certain colours, clothing, and accessories, or by disallowing and criminalizing certain affairs, events, and activities that 'belong' to certain 'culture'/'belief'/'values'/'spirituality'/'religion'/'tribe'/'ethnicity'/'community', which don't and cannot stop the existence of discrimination and separateness, or more precisely, offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, because discrimination and separateness, or offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred don't come from all those names and forms, but they are deriving from the minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

Upon the annihilation of ignorance, all kinds of worldly egoistic beliefs and values and practices are just what they are. All kinds of beliefs, values, and practices cannot determine the minds to be peaceful or not peaceful. They are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, where many minds still need to hold onto particular belief and values and practices to be who they are, and to live life in certain way of having particular direction that motivate them to continuing living despite the presence of doubts, painful sorrow, difficulties, disappointment, fear, worry, challenging conditions and situations, and all kinds of physical/mental/emotional suffering. For the liberated minds, they don't need to hold onto or rely unto any kind of belief, values, or practice to give them a particular direction in life, and they don't need to be motivated by anything for anything.

Meanwhile, the action or practice of restricting, disallowing, or criminalizing the many diverse individuals or communities to be what they are, as they are, is a form of discrimination, separateness, offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred towards certain names and forms that the minds think and believe and recognize as 'bad', 'wrong', 'negative', 'inappropriate', or 'non-supporting and contradicting towards their particular thinking, idea, belief, values, desire, vision, and practice'.

It is about guiding and teaching all minds to be developing openness and self-inquiry that gives rise to correct understanding from young, that gives rise to acceptance, accommodation, and respect towards all kinds of diversities being what they are, even if oneself strongly disagrees with certain things about some others based on one's own particular family/community thinking and belief, values and practice, while not being disturbed, or offended, or determined by one's own disagreement and dislike towards all the others that are different from oneself, allowing all and everyone to be free, to be what they are, as they are. Understanding that if there are certain behavior that are unreasonable and hurtful coming from some others, is because these minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance. One doesn't need to be determined by the ignorance and ignorant behavior of others. One can do one's best to stay away from such minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, just as one would do one's best to stay away from any kinds of natural disaster or the presence of danger.

Most minds would think and believe, and say, "I (We) have the rights to be here. This is my (our) land and space. Why do I (we) being the one that move away? These bad and terrible people don't deserve to be here. We need to chase them out and keep them away from here, that belongs to me and my ancestor (our community and our country)."

If one's house is on fire, one doesn't hesitate to get out from the house that is on fire. One doesn't talk to the fire, "Hey, this is my house. You don't deserve to be here. I don't want you to be here. Get out and disappear from my house." 

As well as the hard but true reality of, "I (We) would like to be able to go somewhere, but where can I (we) go? I am (We are) illegal being anywhere in this world of human beings. We all are 'illegal' for being existing and living anywhere on this planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. We don't even have a proper shelter to live, not to say, to have an address or any kind of documentation. Life is already very difficult for us to survive, not to say, to be living under constant bullying, intimidation, threat, violence, and cruelty."

While in truth, none and nothing belongs to anyone or anything.

We all are merely tiny part of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, finite, mortal, and fragile diverse organisms that exist momentarily sharing this space of the universe that doesn't belong to anyone or anything under the unconditional indiscriminate selfless power of compassion of the nature.

Claiming possession and ownership or authorization/power of control towards the land and space, nature and natural resources, and the diverse communities, and taking away or criminalizing the basic freedom of existence/survival/living/being of all and everyone in this world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary difficulties, desperation, and painful suffering in the world, is indeed the greatest 'crime' of all 'crimes'.

Did the existence of 'law and orders' that supposed to be 'protecting the people from all kinds of corruptions, bullies and their bullying' reduce or get rid of all kinds of corruptions, bullies and their bullying, or it is a convenient tool being created and used by the corrupted minds to be corrupted, or to be empowering the bullies to be bullying others?

Did the 'law and orders' stop the wars that hurt and destroy and impact all and everyone and everything that don't have any desire to get involved in violence and cruelty?

Did all kinds of incredible magic or vast collective positive mind power stop all kinds of ignorance, suffering, corruptions, wars, violence, cruelty, bullies and their bullying?

Inquire towards the truth of everything.

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

Be open and be diligent to be inquiring towards the truth of all kinds of beliefs/values/ideas/sayings/information/knowledge/philosophies/teachings/spiritualities/politics/stories telling, in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, coming from anyone and everywhere, including all that is here.

The world of many diversities doesn't belong to anyone or anything

Neither the world of many diversities and communities nor the planet earth nor anything in this infinite space belong to anyone or anything.

All land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in anywhere in the universe don't belong to anyone or anything.

All and everyone and everything are merely existing momentarily and sharing this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything. 

'Discrimination', 'separateness', 'borders', 'documentation', 'emigration', 'immigration', 'nationality', 'citizenship', 'legalization', 'criminalization', 'authorization', or 'legal and illegal immigrants' don't exist, as well as all and everyone are free to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling everywhere in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, until different communities claimed possession, ownership, and authorization towards the land and space, the nature and natural resources, and all and everything in this world on planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while create lots of story telling and justification (all kinds of beliefs and values) to justify and validate all that (all those egoistic practices that go against nature or the truth of everything as it is).

Unfortunately, even under the era of higher advanced science and technology, of higher education and development, most human beings are being brought up, educated, and empowered under certain beliefs and values to have strong attachment and identification, possessiveness and the sense of belonging, pride and patriotism, and the sense of separateness and discrimination towards what they were being conditioned to think and believe towards 'That is the way of the world', 'That is how things should be done', 'That is who they are', 'That is what belongs to them', 'That is where they belong to', 'That they need to be patriotic to protect what they belong to and what belongs to them', 'That they need approval and recognition and authorization to be who they are and for all and everything (to be born, to be alive, to be existing, to be what they are and not to be what they are not, to think or don't think, to believe or don't believe, to feel or don't feel, to behave or don't behave, to express or don't express, to be living, and to be stop living or to die)', 'That they are different from and more superior than all the others that are not one of them', 'That they have the rights or more rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space', and 'All the others that are not one of them don't have the rights or have less rights to be existing, living, surviving, moving, and travelling in certain area of land and space that they think and believe that belong to them'.

How ridiculous is that, the authorities, the law makers, the armies, and the soldiers have 'the rights' to hurt and kill all and everyone and destroy all and everything, causing all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering unto many innocent lives in the world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, while all and everyone doesn't even have the rights or freedom to die at one's own wish, that it is illegal and criminalized and punishable for want to stop living due to the existence of all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering that exist because of the existence of all kinds of man made greed, selfishness, possessiveness, discrimination, separateness, bullying, cruelty, violence, and madness deriving from ignorance, or because people appreciate and respect all lives and everything, and they don't want to be forced to be engaging in violence to hurt and kill and destroy all and everyone and everything? How ridiculous is that many kind people wish to stop living because they are being forced to become armies and soldiers that hurt and kill others and cause hurtful destruction unto all and everything, and they will be criticized, condemned, and punished for don't want to hurt and kill others?

The many different leaders/authorities/law makers says, "We are here to protect our people and our world," while they are doing many things to hurt the people and the world that don't belong to anyone or anything as much as possible, either intentionally (wittingly) or unintentionally (unwittingly).

The children also don't belong to the parents, not to say, the diverse communities don't belong to anyone or anything.

Certain ambitious leaders/authorities misused the meanings of oneness, non-separateness, non-discrimination, and non-borders, or 'all are one', or 'we are one big family', via the practice of unification/non-diversity/non-individualism/non-independence through manipulation/force/threat/intimidation/oppression/suppression/invasion, by disallowing and criminalizing and destroying diversities and all kinds of freedom, while being ambitious to claim possession/ownership and authorization/control over the entire world of many diversities and communities as well as land, space, and natural resources that doesn't belong to anyone or anything to be governed/controlled under their own particular leadership or authority, to be materializing, supporting, and empowering their particular ambitious vision of an unify non-diverse world under their particular way of thinking and belief, values and desires.

Complete madness. 

The world doesn't have to be like this.

Inquire the truth of everything.

May all be free, be happy, be peaceful.

Inquire towards compassion, the selfless power of selflessness that allows all and everything to be what they are

Compassion exists in all and everyone and everything, regardless of non-living objects or sentient and non-sentient living beings, regardless of wise or ignorant, kind or unkind, selfish or unselfish, good or evil, positive or negative, constructive or destructive, and etc.

Compassion, is the selfless active power of selflessness that allows all and everything to be what they are, as they are, selflessly arising, forming, existing, functioning, changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, and passing away, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, where all kinds of different selfless elements work together and inter-supporting one another to be existing and functioning as what they are, that enabling all kinds of selfless names and forms of different qualities/functions/duties/responsibilities to be manifesting, existing, and functioning as what they are.

Without compassion, none and nothing manifest or exist in this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

All and everyone and everything are born under the essence of compassion, where compassion is the essence of existence/function in all kinds of selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional names and forms.

Just as Selflessness is the truth of all and everything, and it is not a quality, or a practice, or a philosophy, or a sentiment, or a mind evolution, Compassion is the unconditional indiscriminate essence of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all and everything, that exists in all and everyone and everything, including in the most disturbed/violent/selfish/unkind/evil minds in this world of human beings, and it is not a quality, or a practice, or a philosophy, or a sentiment, or a mind evolution, not to say, it is nothing to do with the sentiment of conditional discriminative sympathy and empathy or kindness and generosity that can be existing or non-existing in different minds, that can be developed and be empowered or be weakened, that can be increasing or decreasing, that can be appearing or disappearing.

All are selfless. All are existing and functioning under the essence of compassion. It is about whether the minds realize or don't realize towards the truth of selflessness and compassion in all and everyone and everything.

The selfless existence and function of all and everyone and everything doesn't even belong to all and everyone and everything themselves, not to say, all and everything doesn't belong to anyone or anything, but merely existing and functioning as what all and everything are under the presence of compassion, the selfless power of selflessness that enabling the selfless manifestation of all and everything that are selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, where all and everything need to be working together and inter-supporting one another for all and everything to be existing and functioning as what they are. 

One doesn't need to look outside to be looking for the existence or presence of compassion in specific names and forms, or qualities.

One just need to look within oneself, as compassion is what allowing oneself being existing and functioning as one is, selflessly, impermanently, limitedly, and conditionally, where the existence and function of oneself doesn't even belong to oneself (non-self).

Compassion pervades or exists throughout the selfless body and mind, enabling the selfless body and mind to be existing and functioning as what it is, however, under the veil of ignorance, the selfless mind is ignorant towards the essence of compassion in itself.

Under the absence of the selfless conscious awareness to be aware of the ceaseless selfless life maintenance of this selfless body and mind, when the selfless organs of perception/thinking/action/expression, of the selfless thinking and acting faculty, the selfless senses and sense organs, and the selfless torso with the limbs/legs/arms/feet/hands are resting, all the selfless organs for life maintenance are still working together and inter-supporting one another selflessly and ceaselessly. The selfless brains are still receiving and delivering incoming/outgoing signals and commands, the selfless heart is still beating and pumping, the selfless blood is still flowing and delivering oxygen, water, nutrients, minerals, and energy throughout the selfless physical structure, the selfless lungs are still breathing, the selfless air is still coming and going, the different selfless glands are still delivering, the selfless kidneys/the liver/the stomach/the pancreas/the spleen/the gallbladder/the bladder/the intestines are still performing their respective duties and responsibilities to be maintaining the selfless life existence and function of this selfless body and mind.

Upon seeing or realizing the selfless compassion in oneself, one will see the existence or presence of selfless compassion in all and everything, even in the most selfish and evil minds that are functioning under the veil of ignorance.

The inevitable selfless power of destruction comes along with the selfless manifestation of all kinds of selfless names and forms manifesting under the selfless power of compassion.

None and nothing (that exist under certain names and forms) can escape or avoid the selfless power of destruction. 

The selfless power of destruction (the selfless nature of decay/disintegration/decomposition/death) is no doubt very powerful to be destroying anything and everything, but it is nothing, if without the power of compassion that enabling all kinds of selfless manifestation of all kinds of selfless names and forms to be existing as what they are.

Without the selfless existence of all kinds of selfless names and forms, what is the selfless power of destruction?

What is there that can be destroyed under the selfless power of destruction?

The selfless power of destruction is nothing, or useless, or powerless, if there is not the selfless existence of any selfless names and forms existing under the selfless power of compassion.

What is egoistic pride and arrogance, self-esteem and self-worth, or superiority and power of control in this world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything under the selfless power of NATURE, of the selfless power of compassion and destruction?

The selfless power of compassion (all kinds of names and forms arising) and destruction (all kinds of names and forms passing away) of nature is devoid of judgment and discrimination towards all kinds of qualities in all kinds of names and forms. All are free to be momentarily existing and being what they are in this infinite space that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, and all are subject to impermanent changes, decay, disintegration, decomposition, and ceased existence. All are equal, regardless of all the different qualities of names and forms, living beings or non-living objects.

The egoistic impure restless suffering minds functioning under the veil of ignorance self-claimed egoistic power of authorization of 'the egoistic power of destruction' to be the prideful arrogant violent abusive bully/authority that bullies and hurts and destroys others and the surrounding environment under the ignorant egoistic excuse of self-righteousness based on its own desires and doesn't desires, "I am doing all these under the name of 'xxx', to be judging and punishing all of you."

One of the thing that the bully does is that, it slaps and punches and kicks the ones that it bullies, and then, it 'pets' their head, and gives them some 'pain killers' and 'sweets', and tell them, "See, I am very nice to you. Don't say that I wasn't nice to you. Don't say that I did bad to you. I love you very much. I care for you a lot. I want you to be good. I am sorry that I have no choice but to hurt you. Please forgive me for hurting you, but you need to know that it's not me that is the one being bad. I hurt you is because you are bad. You needed to be disciplined. So, be good. Don't be bad. Just do whatever I want you to do and don't do anything that I don't want you to do." And then, it will keep repeating its bullying behavior, in the same way, again and again. Deliberately hurt others and make others suffer badly, and then give them some 'pain killers' and 'sweets', and then, telling them that it has to do what it needed to do, that it's not its fault, but it's the fault of those that it bullies, repeatedly, over and over again.

That is mentally very unwell.

None can reason with the minds that are unwell. One can only do one's best to stay away from such minds as much as possible, and to avoid any kind of dealings with such minds as much as possible.

The healthy minds don't (need to) take the words from the mentally unwell bully/businessman/leader/individual seriously, not to say, to have any kinds of 'dealings' or 'agreements' that impact all and everyone and everything that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

Inquire the truth of everything.

This selfless body and mind is in the process of breaking down and shutting down. It is neither negative nor sorrowful.

May all be free, be happy, be peaceful.

If the mind is undergoing an extreme difficult condition and painful suffering, remember this -

Never give up. 

It is absolutely possible to be free from ignorance.

The corrupted auto immune system and the existence of all kinds of discrimination and violence in the world of diversity

All kinds of discrimination are existing in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that discriminate, hurt, and attack one another among the different minds, are generated/created by the minds that are functioning under the influence of ignorance and its by-products, of the disturbed discontented dissatisfied restless egoistic impure modification/state of mind (the thinking and acting faculty is ill or corrupted under the influence of ignorance and its by-products, or mentally ill, or mentally corrupted).

The selfless existence and function as well as the survival or life maintenance of all the diverse selfless organisms in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, are relying on the inter-supporting and inter-depending among one another of the many different diversities, in order to be existing/functioning/surviving as what all and everyone are, just as within each single living organism, there are diverse selfless bodily systems and components that work together and make up the selfless life existence and function of a physical structure that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that need to be inter-supporting and inter-depending among one another, in order to be existing/functioning/surviving/sustaining as what they are.

Even though all the different systems and components are inter-supporting and inter-dependent on one another to be able to exist and function as they are (selflessness), but each of them also have their own respective duty that they need to carryout independently (self-reliance). It's the same in the diverse selfless living organisms in this world that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, where all and everyone are selfless and need to be inter-supporting and inter-dependent on one another to be able to be existing and functioning as they are, but at the same time, all and everyone have their own respective duty that they need to carryout independently, except those that come with certain disability or malfunction (certain severe physical and/or mental disability).

All and everyone and everything (living organisms and non-living objects) also need to depend on the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements to be existing/functioning/surviving/sustaining (impermanent changes from the beginning of coming into existence until the end of existence) as what they are (selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional).

All and everyone and everything are subject to decay and disintegration (ceased existence). The difference is whether there is the selfless existence and function of a conscious selfless thinking and acting faculty, or not (mobile and immobile, as well as the presence or absence of non-autonomous conscious freewill activities/action/inaction deriving from a conscious selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty via the organs of action/mobility).

If there is the selfless existence and function of a conscious selfless thinking and acting faculty, the difference is whether there is the presence or absence of ignorance and its by-products in the selfless modification of the mind, that influences the thinking/reasoning/understanding/desire/behavior/action/reaction of the conscious selfless thinking and acting faculty, that impacts oneself and others and the surrounding environment.

All kinds of discrimination (ignorant egoistic impure ideas and behaviors under the influence of mental illness or corrupted thinking and behavior under the absence of clarity or correct understanding) that are discriminating, hurting, and attacking one another among the diverse minds, is similar to the corrupted malfunction auto immune system that is hurting and attacking the entire diverse bodily systems and components that needed to be inter-supporting and inter-depending among one another for the selfless impermanent existence/function and survival/life maintenance that is limited and conditional - Hurting oneself or self destruction, by thinking and believing that discriminating, hurting, and attacking others will boost or empower one's survival, but it is actually the complete opposite of that.

There is the difference between "We all stand strong together to attack and conquer those who are not one of us" and "We all are together. There is needless to attack or conquer anyone that is not one of us, as there is none that is not one of us, even when there are many diversities among us, and we all are not the same."

Inquire the truth of everything.

Proficiency in any particular language doesn't determine the state of mind and behavior

Just as the presence and absence of all kinds of origins, backgrounds, experiences, education, study, learning, training, practice, skills, talents, achievements, status, title, qualification, certification, physical appearance, health condition, fitness level, ability, disability, intelligence, or accumulated information and knowledge, the proficiency in any particular type or many different types of language(s), doesn't determine the state of mind and the behavior of anyone.

Knowing how to proficiently speak, read, write, express, communicate, and interact in all kinds of languages that are existing in this world also doesn't and cannot determine the state of mind and the behavior of anyone.

Wisdom, compassion, peace, understanding, kindness, openness, patience, tolerance, determination, non-possessiveness, non-attachment, non-craving, non-aversion, non-interference, the ability to let go/adjust/adapt/accommodate/withstand, the truth of selflessness and impermanence in all and everything, as well as the ability to allow and respect the perceived reality as it is, and to respect all and everyone and everything as they are, to be sharing the space that doesn't belong to anyone with all and everyone and everything, regardless of whether the perceived reality and all and everything appeared to be something pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, and agreeable or disagreeable, are not being determined by the presence and absence of all those names and forms/qualities/abilities/achievements/possessions/identities.

It's very common that most people would ask/question others that they don't know, that they refer as 'foreigners', "Who are you? Where you came from? Where is your origin or birth place? What is your country? Why are you here (in my village/town/country)?"

Many people think and believe that they came from a particular land, that they think and believe is where they belonged, as their ancestors and themselves were born on that land in that space, where they claimed ownership and possession towards the land and the space to be "This is our home, our land, and our space. All these here are ours," and refer themselves as the original inhabitants or the rightful owners/citizens of the land and the space, where they express, speak, read, write, communicate, and interact among themselves under one or a few common language(s) that they think and believe is "Our language(s) and our culture." And they refer all the others that are not (already) one of them, that only exist/arrive/live/make a living on the land and space after them, that have some other backgrounds or cultures, as 'foreigners'.

There are also many people think and believe that many of their social/national problems are caused by the presence of 'foreigners' from other different backgrounds that arrive/exist/live/make a living in their country that belongs to them.

Inquire the truth of everything.

Before the presence of any other 'foreigners' in any particular land and space in this world that doesn't belong to anyone,

All kinds of humanity/mentality/behavior/family/relationship/community/national problems have already been existing in anywhere and everywhere, among one another where all the people among the one same community that have the one same background of particular ancestry family heritage, ethnicity, culture, belief, values, and practices, where people express, speak, communicate, and interact among themselves under the same common language(s).

All kinds of dissatisfaction, discontentment, irritation, annoyance, frustration, anger, hatred, greed, discrimination, jealousy, selfishness, possessiveness, offensiveness, defensiveness, cruelty, ill treatment, violence, corruptions, mischievous conducts, hurtful behaviors, misunderstanding, non-understanding, disagreements, arguments, fighting, unrest, disharmony, fear, pride, arrogance, control, hypocrisy, lies, backbiting, backstabbing, blame, politics, interference, exploitation, wars, and etc, have always been existing in the minds within the one same family, community, or nation of the similar ancestry/cultural/social/national background.

Ceaseless conflicts have always been existing in oneself in one's own mind, among the different ceaseless thoughts and desires that are selfless and impermanent, not to say, with another mind, among partner/couple, among parents and children, among siblings, among relatives, among friends, among neighbours, among villagers, among all and everyone of the same origin and background. There are lots of craving, aversion, selfishness, possessiveness, jealousy, anger, resentment, disagreement, argument, interference, intimidation, threat, or power and control.

Human beings (The minds) have been hurting oneself, and their own family members, partner/spouse, parents, children, friends, relatives, and community of the one same origin, background and culture, under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I' (the ego), egoism, impurities and restlessness, either wittingly or unwittingly.

Making all and everyone to adopt one's particular language and culture, or one's belief, way of living, way of doing things, values and practices, doesn't prevent or remove all kinds of existing 'problems' that derived from the minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

All kinds of 'problems' don't come from 'foreigners'.

'Foreigners' of different backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, values, practices, or languages, with different personalities and desires, are not the cause of all kinds of 'problems'.

It's the presence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', and egoism in the minds, on top of the selfless intentionless attributeless survival instinct that exists in all kinds of organisms, that give rise to all kinds of impurities and restlessness in the minds, that contribute to all kinds of 'problems' in this world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything.

"Stay away from cult. Stay away from politics." - Swami Sivananda

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.

Be free from selfishness, possessiveness, pride, discrimination, petty-mindedness

Selfishness, possessiveness, pride, discrimination, and petty-mindedness, or greed, is not distinctive from self-destruction. It hurts others, and it will hurt oneself.

When a mind, not to say, the minds of a group of community, is being over-powered by selfishness, possessiveness (of claiming ownership and authority towards certain space and nature that don't belong to anyone), pride (towards their particular identity and possession), discrimination (towards the others that the mind(s) perceived as 'foreigners' or 'not one of us'), and petty-mindedness (of unwilling to be sharing the space and nature that don't belong to anyone with all and everyone, or unwilling to look after the general physical and mental welfare of the others, but depriving and destroying the general physical and mental welfare of the others), and under the influence of all these names and forms, the mind(s) generate desires, thoughts, actions and expressions that project the aspiration of either unwelcoming, pushing away, chasing out, and hating towards 'the others', or charging/taxing all others for their existence and all kinds of basic needs for survival in this space that doesn't belong to anyone, it all will come back unto oneself (themselves).

How people (the minds) desire to 'build' their 'living space' that doesn't belong to them or anyone (either full of peace, openness, kindness and harmony that give rise to prosperity for everyone, or full of unrest, selfishness, unkindness and disharmony that give rise to desperation and suffering for everyone), that's the 'living space' that they will be living in.

All kinds of basic survival needs that are available for all kinds of names and forms to be existing and surviving here in this space that doesn't belong to anyone, are coming from the selfless universe or the selfless nature, absolutely available for all and everyone to be existing and surviving here in this space that doesn't belong to anyone, unconditionally and limitlessly, provided that each and everyone needs to be exerting certain effort or energy to be maintaining and looking after their own existence and survival. All and everyone still needs to find food and water, and eat the food and drink the water, which requires certain effort or energy, where the energy is also coming from the selfless support of the selfless universe or nature, unconditionally and limitlessly, until the end of the existence of any particular name and form.

However, the many ignorant selfish possessive discriminating greedy minds thought that they could just claim ownership and authority towards the space and all kinds of basic survival needs that don't belong to anyone as much as they can, keeping for their own existence and survival, while at the same time, either forbidding others from existing and surviving in this space that doesn't belong to anyone, or restricting others' existence and survival by charging/taxing others for being existing and surviving in this space that doesn't belong to anyone.

It's like the air or oxygen. It doesn't belong to anyone. Similarly, the sun, the earth, the space, the land, the water, the nature or natural resources that exist selflessly and unconditionally for the existence and life maintenance or survival of all kinds of names and forms, don't belong to anyone.

Inquire the truth of everything.

Developing correct understanding

Developing correct understanding towards the relationship between identity, separateness, possessiveness, selfishness, fear, greed, desire, anger, hatred, discrimination, unrest, and violence.

All these terms are inter-related or 'good friends' to one another.

All these names and forms are the products of ignorance, the idea of 'I', and egoism.

The presence of the idea of 'I', and egoism, gives rise to individual, family, social, community, and group identity, attaching towards certain similar qualities of names and forms to be identifying as 'I' and 'us'.

The presence of identity gives rise to separateness between 'I' or 'us' and the others that are 'not I' or 'not us'.

The presence of separateness leads to possessiveness towards names and forms that don't belong to anyone as 'my' and 'our', or to be 'mine' and 'ours'.

The presence of possessiveness gives rise to selfishness (these are mine or ours), fear (of losing the possession), and greed (towards possessing more and more possession, and there are endless desires and ambitions).

The presence of selfishness, fear, and greed gives rise to self-protectiveness, defensiveness, offensiveness, dissatisfaction, anger, hatred, intimidation, invasion, occupation, oppression, and discrimination towards ideas, values, practice, activities, affairs, or those that are detrimental to or going against 'my' or 'our' desires and ambitions.

The presence of dissatisfaction, anger, hatred, intimidation, invasion, occupation, oppression, and discrimination leads to unrest and violence, a.k.a. devoid of peace at all levels.

Devoid of peace, or the presence of unrest and disturbance feeds ignorance that fuels the idea of 'I' and egoism.

To be free from all that - Annihilate the veil of ignorance.

To annihilate the veil of ignorance - Attain self-realization, or know Thyself.

To attain self-realization - Perform self-inquiry towards what is 'I', or towards the truth of names and forms (selflessness and impermanence).

To perform self-inquiry towards what is 'I', or towards the truth of names and forms - Purifying the intellectual reasoning and understanding, calming and quieting the restless thought-wave, or thought-current, or thought activities, or annihilating the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind.

To purify, calm, quiet, and annihilate the restless impure egoistic modification of the mind - Annihilate or let go the idea of 'I' and egoism.

To annihilate or let go the idea of 'I' and egoism - Stop feeding or fueling the idea of 'I' and egoism.

To stop feeding or fueling the idea of 'I' and egoism - Freeing the mind from attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, by developing non-attachment, non-identification, desirelessness, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation.

To facilitate or implement all that - Observe or practice dispassion, renunciation*, seclusion, solitude, mental and emotional independence, simplicity, truthfulness, straightforwardness, contentment, gratitude, generosity, non-possessiveness, non-hoarding, non-greed, kindness, non-violence, non-blind believing/disbelieving, non-blind agreeing/disagreeing, non-blind following, non-worshiping, non-glorifying, non-blind practicing, non-blind propagating, mental strength and stamina (patience, forbearance, perseverance, determination), mental flexibility (acceptance, adaptation, adjustment, accommodation, forgiveness, cheerfulness), mental skill (openness, intentionlessness, desirelessness, correct understanding, right discrimination, right attitude, right effort, right focus, self-discipline, self-control, reasoning, inquiring the truth of everything), Yama (Restraint), Niyama (Observation), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (withdraw the senses from the sense objects), Dharana (concentration, or being in the present moment), Dhyana (meditation - prolonged concentration/non-grasping/non-association), Samadhi (silence/stillness/timelessness/non-separateness/devoid of 'I' or separateness), the middle path (moderation/balance), self-introspection, and self-inquiry.

Inquire the truth of everything.

*Renunciation - It's nothing to do with becoming a monk or nun living in a monk or nun community. It's about giving up, or letting go, or renouncing the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, the fruit of action, worldly passionate egoistic way of living, identities, titles, status, desires, inspirations and aspirations, ambitions, ideas, values, beliefs, superstitions, practices, affairs, ties and connections, social interactions and activities, glory and fame, pride and arrogance, superiority and inferiority, authoritarianism, grouping, power and control, the sense of belonging, self-esteem and self-worth, guilt and regret, fear and worry, grief and sorrow, clinging and longing, meaningfulness and meaninglessness, positiveness and negativeness, goodness and badness, appropriateness and disappropriateness, accomplishment and non-accomplishment, self-righteousness, possessiveness, separateness, discrimination, prejudice, ill-will, offensiveness, defensiveness, day dreaming, building castle in the air, wild imagination, the past and the future, pleasurable enjoyments of the senses, luxurious indulgence, wealth hoarding/accumulation, extreme hardship, hypocrisy, story telling, fairy tales, lies, slandering, back-biting, gossiping, vain talk, self-glorification, boasting, attention/praise/compliment fishing, lust, jealousy, anger, hatred, feelings of hurt, dissatisfaction, disappointment, resentment, bitterness, vengeance, cruelty, violence, fighting, conflict, debate, argument, justification, selfishness, petty-mindedness, stinginess, corruption, bribery, blaming, competition, comparison, judgment, expectation, intention, interference, self-blame/self-harm/self-torture, extremity, intoxication, obsession, physical and mental addiction, under-active, over-active, over-eating, under-eating, over-sleeping, under-sleeping, mental and emotional dependence, blind faith, blind believing, blind agreeing, blind following, blind worshiping, blind practicing, blind propagating, glorification, admiration, love seeking, praise seeking, acceptance seeking, approval seeking, recognition seeking, agreement seeking, and etc.

The mind is being offended by something that promotes world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love?

There are minds being offended and angered by something that promotes world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love among all and everyone under different names and forms in the world of many diversities. But why?

Why does the mind is being offended and angered by as well as strongly opposing something that promotes world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love among all and everyone in the world of diversity?

And if, one's belief, values, practice, behavior, desire and vision is all about promoting world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love, then how come there is so much offensiveness, anger and hatred in oneself towards something that is about world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love, not to say, towards something that is the opposite of all that?

Unless the existing belief, values, practice, behavior, desire and vision in the mind, is about promoting unrest and disharmony, selfishness, discrimination and hatred, that is something different from and contradicting with the teachings and practice that promotes world peace and harmony, unselfishness, non-discrimination and unconditional love, or else, why does the mind is being offended and angered, and opposing towards the similar values, teachings, practice and behavior, just because it is under a different name and form, that is coming from and representing some other form of teachings or beliefs, that is not coming from or representing one's belief under a particular name and form?

Why does the mind constantly feel being offended, intimidated, belittled, disrespected, humiliated, threatened or hurt by something that promotes liberation, independence, freedom, wisdom, compassion, peace, harmony, unselfishness, contentment, non-greed, non-possessiveness, non-discrimination and unconditional loving kindness and acceptance among all kinds of diversities, not to say, something that is opposite of all that?

It's the freedom of the mind for its thinking, belief, values, practice, desire, behavior, action and reaction. There's neither right nor wrong. The mind just needs to know and understand what is going on in itself or why does itself behaving, acting and reacting in certain way.

Inquire the truth of everything.

The existing problem in the developed countries is a great reflection for the other countries that aspire to become like them

Just as most people would look 'up' to some other 'more successful' people, and aspire to become like them, similarly most 'undeveloped' or 'under developed' countries will look 'up' to some other 'more advanced or developed' countries, and aspire to become like them.

No doubt that in the beginning stage of such 'advanced and higher' development in the most developed countries in the world, there is certain extend of 'prosperity' where certain people who study hard and work hard can achieve certain living income that can support an easier and more comfortable life condition with some additional pleasurable enjoyment, however, after certain years of 'prosperity', 'convenience', 'comfort' and 'enjoyment' that derived from and give rise to different kinds of 'exploitation' and 'corruption', all kinds of 'problems' starting to show up in the 'most advanced and developed' countries in the world, especially now in this time being, and it will continuously becoming more problematic to all and everyone living on earth that doesn't belong to anyone, it's very obvious that all these 'most advanced and developed' countries are all having certain similar 'problems' due to the imperfect system created by those who are under the influence of ignorance and egoism empowered by limitless egoistic desire, vision, aspiration and ambition.

Many young people in the less developed countries are being empowered and highly motivated to look up at the most advanced and developed countries in the world, to transform their countries to also become like one of these 'highly advanced and developed' countries, under the similar system and approach.

They should take a deep reflection towards all the existing 'problems' in all these 'highly advanced and developed' countries in the world, where all kinds of discrimination, exploitation, corruption, oppression, desperation, greed, hatred, unrest and disharmony are rising and increasing, and see if they still want to 'develop' their country under the similar 'system' that will eventually hurt all and everyone after enjoying certain years of 'prosperity' of easier life condition, comfort, convenience and pleasurable enjoyment for certain people, while be considerate to be making certain adjustment or taking some other different approach in order to 'develop' their country 'effectively'.

Similarly, people can reflect upon the existing 'problems' in those countries that are run by particular 'system' that is under the influence of particular 'cultural', 'spiritual', 'religious', 'political', 'national', 'commercial' or 'social class' ideas, thinking, belief, values and practice, that give rise to all kinds of separateness, discrimination, oppression, hatred, violence, unrest, disharmony, greedy vision and ambition, fear, exploitation and corruption in themselves and into the world.

The history, and what is happening now in the world, is a great reflection for those who have great aspiration and ambition to be developing their country or community to become more 'advanced and developed' with higher prosperity and better living condition for many people in their country.

There is nothing wrong and it's very good for any country to be developed and improved for achieving greater peace and higher quality of existence for all and everyone, unselfishly and indiscriminately.

Certain 'development' will bring more peace and harmony into the world, while certain 'development' will contribute to more unrest and disharmony in the world. Be wise on choosing what type of 'development' and 'approach' towards real prosperity and better living condition that will benefit all and everyone, unselfishly.

Certain good people are trying to 'clean up' the mess or 'reducing' the destructive impact of such 'advanced development' with certain great ideas and practices of so called 'sustainable living', however, it won't change much as all and everyone are still unwittingly 'supporting' such 'advanced development for easier living condition, convenience, comfort and enjoyment' under a faulty 'system' that continuously contribute to further and further destructive impact in the diverse society physically and mentally, and in the surrounding environment under such 'advanced development system'.

It's like exerting energy and effort into cleaning and fixing a cracked dirty pot to enjoy the purest and cleanest food, however, the pot can never be cleaned and fixed as continuous dirt are still pouring in and cracks are still happening to the pot. Eventually the pot will be completely broken, and there's no pot for anyone to hold any purest and cleanest food. The pot is the world or the living environment. The purest and cleanest food is the great ideas and kindness to create all kinds of goodness in the world, and the dirt and cracks in the pot is the destructive impact of a faulty 'system' to be achieving a so called 'advanced development' or 'particular cultural, spiritual, religious, political, national, commercial and social class influenced development' in the world.

A constructive 'system' that is not under the influence of any particular cultural, spiritual, religious, political, national, commercial, or social class ideas, thinking, belief, values and practice, that is void of selfishness, greed, possessiveness, discrimination, oppression, separateness, hatred and violence, that respect all kinds of diversities as they are, that promotes peace and harmony in the world of diversity, through the annihilation of ignorance and egoism.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.

Doing the right thing based on what?

Under the veil of ignorance and egoism, all minds have their own particular definition towards what is 'doing the right thing', or all and everyone are 'doing the right thing' based on their own particular thinking, belief, values and practice.

It's not about what the worldly egoistic cultural, spiritual, religious or political thinking, belief, values and practice refers as right and wrong.

The mind that knows, it knows. The mind that doesn't know, it doesn't know.

If the mind doesn't know, or is ignorant towards what is 'doing the right thing' under the veil of ignorance, then this mind can contemplate upon what is performing actions that will bring more peace and harmony into the world of diversity, free from all kinds of discrimination, intimidation, violence and hatred, free from the sense of superiority and inferiority, without selfishness, greed, fear and possessiveness, without inflicting additional unnecessary damages or pain unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment, that is about self-control under free-will, and not about 'controlling others to be in certain way by manipulation, threat, force, fear and punishment', without the influence of any particular identity identifying towards any particular identification with any particular egoistic cultural, spiritual, religious or political thinking, belief, values and practice that is about empowering self-survival, self-empowering, self-benefiting, self-righteousness, authority, separateness, discrimination, intimidation and fear towards 'all the others that are not one of us, that are different from us', that is about having a vision to be 'controlling the world to be in certain way' according to that particular belief, values and practice, in order to be preserving, empowering and expanding that particular belief, values and practice at all cost, via 'controlling and converting others to think, believe and behave in certain way'.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.

Non-separateness or oneness is not about non-diversity or uniformness in the diverse community

Non-separateness or oneness in the teachings of yoga or buddhism, is nothing to do with the passionate idea and vision deriving from ignorance and egoism to be developing and empowering a 'strong', 'uniformed/non-diversified' group identity in a particular community, school, company, tribe, religion, culture, sports, politic, military, area, state, or country, that emphasizes on uniformness, togetherness, loyalty and patriotism by discouraging, restricting, oppressing and eliminating diversity within a group of community, while empowering discrimination and defensiveness towards all the others that are different from 'us' or not the same as 'us', that don't support towards, or comply with, or fit into 'our' uniformed group identity.

Selflessness, non-separateness or oneness, is the absence of attachment and identification towards all kinds of qualities of names and forms, while respecting all kinds of diversities being what they are, as they are, and all are impermanent. It's not about depriving a unique personal identity to be empowering a group identity holding and sharing common names and forms of appearance, action, reaction, way of living, way of thinking, belief, ideas, desires, visions, values and practice.

Non-separateness or oneness is there as it is, upon the realization towards the nature of selflessness and impermanence in all kinds of diverse names and forms under different qualities and uniqueness, that leads towards respect, accommodation, tolerance, non-discrimination, non-violence, peace and harmony among the world of many diversities, that embraces all kinds of diversities as they are, instead of discriminating and eliminating diversities to be uniforming all and everyone to be 'non-distinctive' among one another, out of ignorance or selfish intention.

It's actually contrary to that passionate egoistic idea and vision of developing a 'uniformed' and 'non-diversified' group identity that is about upholding 'unity' or 'togetherness' among that particular group, that is not so much for developing respect, accommodation, tolerance, non-discrimination, peace and harmony in the world, but it's mainly about building a strong shield of self-protectiveness or defense (recruiting or forming a group of supporters/workers/servants/army) out of survival instinct to be protecting towards the survival of one's own particular interest, or ambition, or group, or community, or country and etc, as well as out of greed towards 'claiming' and 'possessing' more and more space, land, natural resources, food, wealth and security, that promotes corruption, force, bully, threat, violence, invasion and war, which hurts, damages, or destroys world peace and harmony, physical well-being, mental health, lives and the surrounding environment.

The idea and value of 'unity' or 'patriotism' within a community/area/region/country/specie, is meaningless and useless under the absence of ignorance and egoism. The world of diverse human beings, not just within a particular community, area, region or country, will be peaceful and harmony as it is, if the minds are void of ignorance and egoism.

That's why the selfish, greedy, highly ambitious and prideful 'politicians' or 'leaders' that shout about 'unity' and 'patriotism', don't like or welcome the existence of non-separateness or oneness, respect, accommodation, tolerance, non-discrimination, non-hatred, non-selfish, non-violence, peace and harmony among the people of many diversities in this world. As they would have no 'power' or 'opportunity' to be accomplishing their selfish greedy ambitions.

May all minds realize non-separateness or oneness among all diversities upon the realization towards selflessness and impermanence in all and everything, and be free from selfishness, greed, corruption, discrimination, hatred and violence. The only 'difficulty' or 'almost impossibility' to achieve that, is the minds themselves need to have awareness towards the ignorance in themselves, and be initiative to free themselves from ignorance.

The only way to stop corruption, discrimination, hatred, bully, threat, violence and war in this world of human beings, is the minds being free from ignorance and egoism, and the by-products of ignorance and egoism, the root cause of all kinds of corruption, discrimination, hatred, bully, threat, violence and war. A fight ends upon the fighters themselves stop fighting. A war begins and ends by the one(s) who igniting and participating in a war. Anger, hatred, violence, hurt, bully and discrimination cease existing upon the one(s) who is(are) angry, hating, violent, hurting, bullying and discriminating stopped being angry, hating, violent, hurting, bullying and discriminating.

Yoga, is definitely not about attending regular yoga classes, yoga courses or yoga retreats, acquiring some yoga practice or teaching certifications, engaging in some yoga poses, stretching exercises, breathing exercises, cleansing exercises, detoxification, concentration exercises, chanting, mindfulness, healing, relaxation, enjoyment of the senses, clean eating, pure diet, or connection building under different brands and styles, to attain some impermanent physical and mental or emotional benefits, to feel good, calmed, relaxed, empowered, inspired, healthy, strong and meaningful momentarily, but it's about the elimination of ignorance and egoism. Although there's nothing wrong or bad with people who are interested in yoga and the benefits of the different yoga practice, but are not interested in the elimination of ignorance and egoism. It's everyone's freedom of thinking, desire and action.

Those who understand, there's no such idea of "I am being proud of ......"

Those who don't understand, there's the idea of "I am being proud of ......" as well as instilling and encouraging the sense of pride towards certain qualities, possessions and identities in oneself and others.

Anyone, including close friends and family members, successful people and social media influencers, or some 'teachers', 'politicians' and 'leaders', who instill, promote and empower the sense of pride in particular quality, possession and identity, while encourage the sense of shame, discrimination and hatred towards some others, who dislike and discourage openness and respect towards all without discrimination, who disagree with open-mindedness and mental/emotional independence, know that these minds are functioning under the deep influence of ignorance and egoism.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.

Needless be determined by all kinds of corruption and discrimination

The world is full of all kinds of corruption and discrimination deriving from ignorance and egoism in the human minds, including the minds that think and believe that they are good and righteous people, who believe in eliminating what they dislike and disagree with, or what they judged as evilness/wrongfulness/threat towards their identity, possessions, belief, values, survival, status (power) and profit (wealth), or to build a world the way that they desire, via temptation/bribery/manipulation, or through force, violence, control, oppression, threat, disciplinary, prosecution, punishment, imprisonment, outcast, deportation, and by 'education' or 're-education' to reform/change/convert people's thinking and behavior.

The world is really sick, being occupied by too much ignorance.

Even among the many 'normal' people who believe in loving kindness, and want to promote loving kindness, wellness and prosperity in the world, might not be free from certain subtle selfishness, pride, passionate desire of craving and aversion, envious, jealousy, discontentment, greed, hurt and resentment due to ignorance and egoism, while not being aware of one's passionate enjoyable trendy lifestyle chasing after excitement and pleasurable enjoyment of the senses while inspiring others to also attain such passionate lifestyle and enjoyment, is unintentionally supporting and empowering the sickness of the world.

None can change that, or make all kinds of corruption and discrimination disappear from the world.

One can be disliking and disagreeing with all kinds of ignorant affairs or situations in the world.

One can be not supporting or not encouraging such ignorant egoistic thinking, belief, values, practice, action and reaction in the world.

One can be performing certain actions that might or might not help to ignite certain awareness in the minds functioning under the influence of deep ignorance, but without attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment or expectation towards the action and the fruit of action.

More importantly, one is not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of corruption and discrimination in the world of ignorance and egoism.

Understanding that, all those ignorant human affairs are merely the by-products of ignorance and egoism, the most serious form of mental illness that can only be eliminated by the mind itself.

It's unfortunate that the ignorant minds, especially those who are in the powerful position that are making highly important decisions determining many actions and events that impact all and everyone, they can be generating endless destruction in the world, within their personal life, their community and the entire world, either randomly or deliberately, affecting the environment and all the others (human beings and other live forms) that are sharing this tiny little space in the vast universe.

One doesn't need to become or behave like those who are under the influence of ignorance, out of disappointment, disturb, frustration, hurt or anger, in order to protest or fight against the ignorant ones.

Why hurting oneself, and loosing one's physical and mental well-being with the ignorance of others?

Having great enthusiasm or aspiration to help lessening the heavy ignorance and egoism in the world, one must know how to look after oneself, having peace and harmony from within, which is nothing to do with living a life of higher comfort and pleasurable enjoyment of the senses that makes the mind feels good and satisfy.

Just like the lotus is untainted by the muddy lotus pond, without any intention to be something inspirational or non-inspirational to anyone who come across it.

This is not about trying to stay positive or be optimistic by ignoring or denying all kinds of ignorance in the world, while only acknowledging and focusing on all kinds of love and goodness that are existing in the world. That is not liberation.

Without dealing with the source of problem or suffering, but only focus on soothing the problem or suffering, it's like trying to fill up an extremely dirty pot with the most tasty and nutritious food.

It's about being aware of and acknowledging all kinds of ignorance, without being determined or disturbed by it, while performing selfless actions out of compassion that might or might not bring certain awareness that ignite the minds to be aware of ignorance and egoism in themselves, without attachment or expectation.

It's everyone's freedom of what they want to do or don't do. However, complaining about the problem while being part of the problem doesn't help. And the thinking of, "I only have another 50 years or so to live, I need to enjoy life to the maximum before I die. I don't complain because I have no problem, because I am capable of enjoying a lifestyle of comfort and enjoyment. I can afford and I deserve such indulgence because I've worked hard for it," doesn't help either.

The idea of "I deserve (something)," or, "I don't deserve (something)," is due to the presence of passionate attachment, identification and expectation towards one's action and the fruit of action. Even those who have been practicing and teaching yoga and meditation for many years, who have been studying about the modification of the mind, who strongly go against the many corruption and discrimination in the world, might not be free from such egoism, not to say, anyone that has no awareness at all towards the modification of the mind.

Discrimination has no limit, but fear not

Discrimination is the product of ignorance and egoism.

Void of ignorance and egoism, there's no discrimination existing in this mind, even if discrimination exists in other minds.

Discrimination has no limit.

Someone who identifies oneself as a citizen of a country, might think that, "Oh, for sure I will not be discriminated by all the other citizens of this same country." Nope. This person is being discriminated because of its ethnicity being different from the others within the same citizenship of the same country.

Then this person might think that, "Okay. Then for sure I will not be discriminated by all the others within the same ethnicity with the same cultural background within the same country." Nope. This person is being discriminated because of its birth place under a particular state among the many different states in the same country.

Then this person might think that, "Okay. Then for sure I will not be discriminated by all the others within the same ethnicity with the same cultural background with the same birth place under the same state within the same country." Nope. This person is being discriminated because of its family background and social status.

Then this person might think that, "Okay. Then for sure I will not be discriminated by all the others in my own family of the same background and the same social status." Nope. This person is being discriminated because of its gender.

Then this person might think that, "Okay. Then for sure I will not be discriminated by all the others of the same gender within the same family." Nope. This person is being discriminated because of merely being different from the others in certain way, and someone doesn't like about it.

Then this person might think that, "Okay. Then for sure I will not be discriminated by myself. Right?" Nope. There is always something that this person doesn't like or satisfy about itself, that it can't accept and love itself as it is, and there's desire to be changing and controlling what it doesn't like and doesn't satisfy about itself to become something that it likes and satisfies with. If it couldn't be changed or be controlled according to one's desire, one will want to get rid of those qualities that it doesn't like and doesn't want. Even when it gets a few moments of liking and satisfaction towards itself for being the way that it likes and agrees with, but then, very soon, it will start to feel dislike and dissatisfy about itself again, due to the nature of impermanence as well as the birth of ceaseless new desires in it.

It's because of ignorance and egoism, where there's presence of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment and expectation, anyone can be discriminating towards anyone and anything for something, starting from within oneself, being dislike, dissatisfy and disagree with something about oneself. From there, there's no limit of discrimination towards anyone and anything that one doesn't like and disagrees with.

Discrimination has no limit due to ignorance and egoism, however, there's an end to it upon the annihilation of ignorance and egoism from within oneself.

The only limitation or challenge, is that no one can remove the ignorance and egoism for one another. Not even Buddha, Guru, or any enlightened beings can take away some others' ignorance and egoism, and the corruption and suffering deriving from ignorance and egoism. As if that is possible, then all and everyone were/are already be free from ignorance and egoism, and the world is being free from all kinds of corruption and suffering. Beware of, and stay away from any 'Gurus' or 'yoga teachers' claiming to be having the 'transcendental power' to 'heal' anyone for anything, or to give enlightenment to some others.

It has to come from one's self-awareness and self-acknowledgement towards the ignorance and egoism in oneself, and have self-initiative and self-effort to free oneself from ignorance and egoism through self-discipline, self-purification, self-control, independence, patience, perseverance and determination, and all these practice is being done without attachment and identification (towards the impure corrupted modification of the mind, the ignorance, the practice and the action of performing the practice), without desire of craving (towards the absence of ignorance) and aversion (towards the presence of ignorance), and without comparison, judgment or expectation (towards the progress and the fruit of practice). Allowing the practice, the progress and the fruit of practice being what it is, as it is, at its own pace and causation.

Through that, the mind will realize what is "Selfless, intentionless and desireless actions being performed out of compassion."

The presence and absence of love or loving kindness among one another has no intention or quality to be something good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative, meaningful or meaningless, joyful or sorrowful, or to make someone feel happy/unhappy and loved/unloved. It's the egoistic attachment and expectation towards 'love' and 'loving kindness' among one another, as well as the desire of craving and aversion towards the presence and absence of love or loving kindness among one another, that is why the mind perceives goodness, righteousness, positivity, meaningfulness and joyfulness upon the presence of love or loving kindness among one another, and feels happy and loved. And the mind perceives badness, wrongfulness, negativity, meaninglessness and sorrow upon the absence of love or loving kindness among one another, and feels unhappy and unloved.

Similarly, whenever the mind reacts and perceives disturbance, dissatisfaction, disappointment, disrespectfulness, humiliation, intimidation, offensiveness, hurt, anger, hatred, fear, worry, painful sorrow or suffering towards the presence or absence of certain names and forms, upon coming in contact with undesirable/unpleasant/disagreeable experiences, reactions and treatments, and not coming in contact with desirable/pleasant/agreeable experiences, reactions and treatments, it's due to the egoistic attachment, identification, expectation and the desire of craving and aversion towards the different names and forms or experiences, actions, reactions and treatments.

If human beings really want to live in a world that is peaceful and harmony among all the different diversities, the minds need to be free from the egoism of attachment and identification towards the qualities of names and forms, that empowers separateness and duality, that feeds the desire of craving towards 'superiority and deserving superior treatments from others' and aversion towards 'inferiority and deserving inferior treatments from others', by letting go the worldly cultural/social/national/political/commercial/religious thinking, belief, values and practice about "Because of who and what I am and where I came from, because of my birth place, my origin, my ancestry, my race, my tribe, my gender, my sexual orientation, my religion, my belief, my values, my culture, my nationality, my status, my title, my position, my education, my knowledge, my profession, my physical and mental ability, my achievement, my contribution, my efforts, my sacrifice, my actions and fruit of my actions, my appearance, my influential power, my name and fame, and etc, and hence, I am either more or less superior or inferior than the others, and so, I  (the others) deserve superior or inferior treatments from others (I), and I or the others deserve or don't deserve respect or humiliation.

Unfortunately, most people don't really interested in living in peace and harmony with one another, but would rather enjoying or chasing after the 'superior qualities and status' that enabling them to receive certain 'superior treatments from the others', to stand out among all the others, to be more superior than the others, or be distinguished from some others who are inferior than oneself, to take pride in the attachment and identification towards 'superior qualities and status', to fit into the category of 'superiority'.

Not all, but many of those who are sort of 'possessing' and 'enjoying' certain 'superior' qualities and status will not let go such 'privilege' for being more 'superior' that the others, and they are being fearful towards losing the status of superiority and the pleasure enjoyment of receiving superior treatments from others.

Although many people would think and believe that they want to be living in a world that is peaceful and harmony among one another of different names and forms, but because most human beings are being brought up from young under the many different cultural/social/religious/racial/national/political/commercial beliefs, values and practices, where all is about enforcing a personal and group identity to either take pride or shame towards the different qualities of names and forms, towards oneself and all the others, that determining how oneself perceives, judges and treats all the others, and how oneself expects and reacts towards how the others perceive, judge and treat oneself, and either feel deserved, respected, pleased and satisfied or undeserved, disrespected, displeased and dissatisfied towards the different perceptions, judgments, treatments, actions and reactions coming from the others towards oneself, where the goal of all actions in this life existence, is directly and indirectly about admiring, chasing after, developing, achieving, possessing and enjoying superior qualities, status, enjoyments and treatments.

Instead of to be more open-minded, friendly, cheerful, tolerant, understanding and accommodating, there are more and more minds are being trained, educated, empowered and conditioned to be highly sensitive and defensive towards one's particular 'superior quality and status', and are easily be offended and angered by what the minds perceived and judged as 'offensive', 'disrespectful', 'humiliating' and 'undeserving' perceptions, judgments, comments, criticisms, treatments, actions and reactions from others, and would react with violent hurtful reactions and behaviors, causing unrest and damaging consequences in oneself and others and the surrounding environment.

The parents told the children, the teacher told the students, the religious leader told the followers, and the country leader told the nation, "This is who you (we) are. Take pride in who and what you (we) are and where you (we) came from. You (we) are different from the others. You (we) are superior than the others. You (we) deserve respect and superior treatments from others. Defend your (our) pride. Those disrespect you (us), your (our) pride and what makes you (us) who you (we) are, and those who don't give you (us) your (our) deserving superior treatments, they deserve painful punishments."

The commercial advertisements told the consumers, "You are special. You worth it. Be passionate. Be inspired. Be ambitious. You can have it if you desire. Pamper yourself. You deserve all these luxuries, new toys and pleasurable enjoyments for all your senses. Celebrate everything! Be adventurous! Fulfill your bucket list! Live without regrets! We have everything that you desire that make you feel great!"

Most people are being 'friendly', 'kind', 'calm', 'helpful' and 'nice' if everything is being the way that they expect and desire, and everyone is behaving in the way that they like and agree with, but then, instantly, they would turn into 'unfriendly', 'unkind', 'aggressive', 'hurtful' and 'not nice' once something is not being the way that they expect and desire, and someone is behaving in the way that they don't like and don't agree with. These are the minds that propagate "people should be angry and deserved to be expressing anger and violence towards something they think is bad and wrong, that is undeserving, disrespectful, offensive, humiliating and intimidating towards their particular attachment and identity towards certain names and forms," while manipulating people's anger in order to help them to achieve their aspiration and desire to create and control the world to be 'their way'.

People would think and believe that it's anger or uncontrolled anger that is causing people behaving violently and hurtfully. But, anger itself is not the problem at all. The main culprit that triggers such violent and hurtful behavior/reaction out of anger, is the corrupted ignorant egoistic thinking, belief, values and practice that is influencing and conditioning how the mind perceives, judges, desires, expects, acts and reacts towards the different names and forms, or towards all kinds of experiences, actions, reactions and treatments. Where the mind reacts/behaves violently and hurtfully out of anger towards what the mind disagrees with, doesn't like and doesn't desire, that is threatening its attachment and identity towards certain names and forms, based on those thinking, belief, values and practice.

The world of human beings is really 'sicked' being occupied by ignorant egoistic minds that are selfish and greedy. "As long as I and my people feel safe, fine, happy, comfortable, enjoying and satisfied..." It doesn't have to be like that, but that's the reality in the world of ignorance and egoism.

This world will never be free from all kinds of man made suffering of discrimination, offensiveness, anger, hatred, greed, violence, hurtful behaviors, ill treatments, prejudice, bias, bullying, corruption, intrusions, wars, painful sorrow and unrest, unless human beings be initiated to let go the egoism of attachment and identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment and comparison, aspiration and expectation towards all kinds of impermanent and selfless qualities of names and forms.

Being aspired and determined to create or control the world to be and not to be in certain way, even if it's coming from the different thinking and beliefs about what is their own version of 'the best, good and right way', doesn't and can't lead to peace and harmony among the diversities.

It's about letting go the aspiration or desire to create or control the world to be and not to be in certain way.

Unity is not about getting rid of diversities, or making all the differences to become one same singular name and form, but it's respecting all kinds of differences as they are.

The history is already there, teaching and showing human beings about this, however, ignorance and egoism hinders the minds from realizing the ignorance and egoism in themselves, to see and learn from the teachings of the past and present consequences of ignorant and egoistic thinking, belief, values and practice in the world, where human beings keep generating actions and consequences of actions that cause more and more damages to peace and harmony, humanity and the environment, while trying to achieve and possess higher and higher superior qualities, status, treatments and enjoyments.

Higher and advance intellect, science and technology that provides higher enjoyments and conveniences to human beings is neither good nor bad, however, it didn't and doesn't remove ignorance and egoism from the minds, and couldn't stop the ignorant and egoistic minds from generating ignorant actions/reactions and consequences of ignorant actions/reactions, empowering the ignorance and egoism in oneself and the others, passing down all kinds of egoistic thinking, belief, values and practice to their next generations, where the world is occupied and run by impure minds under the influence of ignorance and egoism with specific aspiration and desire to create and control the world to be 'mine/ours' and 'my/our way', selfishly inflicting all kinds of unnecessary man made damages and suffering into the world of diversities through utilizing the higher and advance science and technology.

Performing all kinds of yoga practice regularly, and enjoying the effects/benefits of the different yoga practice, without freeing the mind from ignorance and egoism, doesn't bring peace to oneself or the world.

Does it mean that if everyone in the world are practicing yoga, then the world will be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance?

Not really.

The total amount of people who are 'practicing yoga' in the world is not related to whether the world is or will be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

If more minds are free from the influence of ignorance and egoism, regardless of whether they are practicing yoga, or not, then the world will have less ignorant behaviors, actions and reactions, and less the consequences of ignorance.

If all minds are void of ignorance in this moment, then the world is void of ignorant behaviors, actions and reactions and the consequences of ignorance being generated in this moment. And every moment is changing.

The enthusiasm and action of practicing yoga regardless of the total amount of time and effort that one has been engaging in certain type of yoga practice regularly, especially if without knowing what is dispassion and renouncing the action and the fruit of action, it doesn't determine that the mind is or will be free from ignorance. The world is and will still be full of ignorant behaviors, actions and reactions, and the consequences of ignorance, even when all and everyone in the world are engaging in some kind of yoga practice regularly.

Ignorance and egoism also exists in the world of yoga.

That's why the aspiration of celebrating 'International Yoga Day' to bring people to come together and to create certain awareness into the world, with the intention of promoting yoga in the world by motivating more people to develop enthusiasm into practicing different types of yoga practice, to bring more people into the yoga community, to build a bigger yoga community of the similar interest and like-minded, it doesn't necessarily mean that the world is having or will be having less ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

A selfless yogi doesn't even need to be celebrating one's birthday or any kind of 'celebration day', not to say, to be promoting, supporting and celebrating so called 'International Yoga Day' being introduced and inaugurated by 'an organization leads by a mind who claimed oneself as a yogi as well as representing a particular religion and nation to be claiming ownership and authorization over yoga' with the aspiration of 'promoting yoga' into the world for 'humanity and peace', while at the same time, being responsible for discriminating, oppressing and generating disturbing and hurtful behaviors towards some other religion, culture, nation and human race.

All kinds of 'celebration day' representing and propagating certain qualities of names and forms, either intentionally or unintentionally promoting and empowering particular passionate egoistic attachment and identification towards certain qualities of names and forms, in which promotes separateness among the different names and forms, as well as wittingly or unwittingly empowering discrimination and resentment towards certain qualities of names and forms that a particular individual or one particular community disagrees with, are all born out of ignorance and egoism. It's completely moving away from yoga of Selflessness, Oneness, or non-separateness and non-discrimination.

Above all, all kinds of 'celebration day' or 'festival' that invite and require as many people to come together to be 'doing' something, to celebrate a personal or community cause, are the creation of the world of commercialism to be 'boosting' business sales of certain commercial products and services related to all those different types of activity, celebration and festival.

Meanwhile, certain festivals are about remembering, acknowledging and empowering something good or bad that had happened in the past, to never forget the good or bad things that had happened upon us, our family, or our fellow community, either empowering craving/clinging towards 'something that was good' or empowering aversion/hatred towards 'something that was bad', as well as passing down all those 'aspirations' onto the next generations so that they also 'know' and 'never forget', which don't really help the minds to be free from ignorance and egoism.

Just as many people are being conditioned to feel bad, guilty and left out, or being criticized or condemned, if they don't or can't go back home, to be with their family members, relatives, friends, or their particular community, to be performing certain actions or gestures on specific celebration day or festival day, which is not at all what yoga practice is about. One who loves their family and friends will always be loving their family and friends, even when being absent most of the time, or all the time. One who couldn't be present on certain funerals, doesn't mean that one doesn't love, or respect, or care for those who passed away.

Think again, if this mind still feels being disturbed, disappointed, unloved, left out or upset by someone whom it knows, but didn't or don't acknowledge anything and not being physically or mentally present on it's birthday or some other's birthday, or be physically or mentally participating in any kind of personal and community celebration or festival day of certain names and forms in this world. Where most of these actions/activities are about empowering passionate egoistic attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, and expectation, towards the qualities of names and forms.

There's neither right nor wrong, as all kinds of celebration and festival day are good for promoting the economy and people's livelihood, while 'connecting' and 'comforting' the minds that are under the influence of ignorance and egoism, that are being interdependent on the physical/mental presence and support of one another to feel good and meaningful about oneself and the world, by encouraging people to come together at certain time and for certain cause, but then, it's moving the minds away from the means of yoga.

The yoga practitioners that don't celebrate their own birthdays, or some other's birthday, or their parents/siblings/friends/teachers/guru's birthday/funeral day, or don't participating in any kind of rituals/festivals related to the yoga community, doesn't determine that they are not practicing yoga, or are being ungrateful or disrespectful, and vice versa.

Inquire towards the truth of everything.
