The corrupted impure egoistic restless selfless intentionless modification of the mind

The corrupted impure egoistic restless selfless intentionless modification of the mind, is the IGNORANCE that is being mentioned in the teachings of yoga and/or buddhism, that hinders the selfless thinking and acting mind to know itself, of what it is, as it is.

This IGNORANCE is not about non-intelligent or low intelligence, non-educated or low education, non-knowledgeable or low knowledge, stupidity, or laziness, as being translated literary under the worldly knowledge and understanding.

This IGNORANCE exists in all minds, including the minds that are highly intelligent, highly educated, highly knowledgeable, extremely smart, and extremely hardworking, except the minds that are free from the veil or the influence of IGNORANCE, that know Thyself.

This IGNORANCE is the root cause of why the mind perceives all kinds of evitable and inevitable suffering, being determined or over-powered by the mind perception towards a momentary mortal worldly life existence that is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, of experiencing all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional ties and connections, relationships, affairs, objects, activities, interactions, conditions, and situations, that are pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, agreeable or disagreeable, enjoyable or painful suffering, that are non-self, that are not in the control of the mind to be or not to be in certain way.

Ignorance is neither good nor bad. There is nothing wrong, bad, negative, weak, shortcoming, or to be shameful, humiliating, condemning, or criticizing towards the presence of ignorance in the modification of the mind. However, under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, and impurities, the minds would perceive or interpret that as something wrong, bad, negative, weakness, shortcoming, shameful, humiliating, or condemn and criticism deserving.

Upon the annihilation of ignorance, upon the mind knows itself, upon the knower knows the knowledge of Thyself, upon the experiencer knows the experiences, the mind transcends all kinds of evitable and inevitable suffering, even if the life existence is still what it is, selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, and all and everything are non-self, not in the control of the mind to be or not to be in certain way, where all and everything are governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

The liberated mind under the presence of conscious awareness, devoid of the veil of ignorance, can be performing or not performing certain action that would give rise to the respective consequences of action/inaction, under the presence of correct understanding and self control (under the presence of conscious freewill, not being over-powered by the selfless intentionless mind stuff).

To annihilate the corruption in the modification of the mind, a.k.a. the corrupted thinking and behavior pattern, impurities, egoism, the idea of 'I', and restlessness (the veil of ignorance) from the selfless intentionless modification of the mind, is to know and uproot the root cause that gives rise to the corruption, or the corrupted thinking and behavior pattern, impurities, egoism, the idea of 'I', and restlessness.

What is the root cause that gives rise to the veil of ignorance that arises/appears/exists in the selfless intentionless modification of the mind?

The limited and conditional inherited genetic traits, personality, characteristics under the influence of the selfless intentionless survival instinct, as well as the limited and conditional inherited and adopted worldly passionate impure egoistic beliefs, ideas, values, and practices, that are influencing the thinking and behavior pattern to be and not to be in certain way. Both inherited and adopted influences are limited and conditional, selfless and impermanent, that is constantly evolving either unconsciously (absence of freewill) or consciously (presence of freewill), as well as both consciously and unconsciously.

The unconscious evolution might be more or less dominant than the conscious evolution, and vice versa, and can be reversible.

The liberated mind transcends (not being determined by) what is inevitable under the truth of selflessness, impermanence, non-self, and limitation of being limited by the presence and absence of condition, of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary mortal life existence that is not in its control, of forming, decaying and disintegrating, of existing, decaying, and ceased existing.

The liberated mind also can transcend (not being over-powered by) the limited and conditional inherited genetic qualities, personality, and characteristics under the influence of the selfless intentionless survival instinct, that is being what it is, and evolves as it is.

Not to say,

The liberated mind also can transcend or not being determined by the limited and conditional inherited and/or adopted worldly passionate impure egoistic beliefs, ideas, values, and practices, and hence, not being over-powered by the limited and conditional thinking and behavior pattern, but having the conscious freewill, correct understanding, and self-control, to be performing or not performing certain action that would give rise to the respective consequences of action/inaction, that would be benefiting oneself and others and the surrounding environment, that would help other minds to have a starting point or direction to be reflecting/inquiring upon, to be engaging in the process of eliminating the idea of 'I' and egoism and impurities, purifying the intellectual reasoning power and understanding, modifying the thinking and behavior pattern, and quieting the restless modification of the mind, without desire, intention, or expectation to change or control anything or anyone to be or not to be in certain way.

The minds, including the minds that are highly intelligent, highly educated, highly knowledgeable, extremely smart, and extremely hardworking, that think and believe, and conclude that, "There is absolutely/completely no freewill to be transcending all these," that is because they still haven't attained the direct self realization towards the absolute knowledge that is always there, of knowing Thyself. They might have some partial understanding towards selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditioning, and non-self, but they need to attain direct self realization towards all that, to know Thyself.

That is due to the thinking and acting faculty is identifying and associating with the subjects that it is inquiring. The thinking and acting faculty is unwittingly identifying and associating with the cognition/the existing knowledge, information, ideas, beliefs, values, and practices, the intellect/the reasoning/the understanding, the thoughts/the thinking, the sensations, the feelings and emotions, and the action of inquiring. Just like the investigator is investigating towards all and everyone and everything, except itself.

The mind is reasoning/inquiring towards the truth of all and everything, but it didn't inquire towards the truth of the existing accumulated knowledge and understanding in itself, of what it thinks it knows and understands that is influencing the intellectual reasoning power to be reasoning/inquiring towards all and everything in certain way.

That is why the highly essential of self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of 'I', or "Who am I?", or "What is the self identity of 'I' that the thinking in the mind thinks and believes and identifies as 'I'?"

That is why the highly importance of engaging in the observation of renunciation, dispassion, solitude, seclusion, and silence. To move the mind away from the continuous influence of the worldly passionate egoistic ideas, habits, affairs, activities, connections, communications, and interactions (inputs and outputs), that ceaselessly empower the idea of 'I' and egoism, impurities and restlessness, that hinders the mind from performing self inquiry to be inquiring towards everything about itself, towards its selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional existence and function being part of the selfless bodily functions/mechanisms of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional physical body, of having a momentary mortal selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional life existence perceiving and experiencing all kinds of names and forms, that are non-self, that are not in its control or desire to be or not to be in certain way.

There is no permanent independent self existence of 'I' existing to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes, or to be identifying with the selfless impermanent limited and conditional body and mind as 'I', and there are ceaseless non-conscious selfless impermanent physical and mental activity happening throughout the selfless body and mind, it doesn't mean that the selfless thinking and acting mind doesn't have freewill to make conscious choices and perform actions that can influence the conscious and unconscious evolution of the body and mind. But this knowledge and understanding has to come from the mind itself to attain direct self-realization towards the truth of selflessness and what 'selfless action' is, as well as what is 'the mind perception of a selfless impermanent limited and conditional worldly life existence' and what is 'ignorance'?

Under the influence of ignorance and under the absence of correct understanding, the mind perceives the perception of 'being not free', as it is being determined and disturbed by the selfless impermanent changes that are not necessarily pleasant, desirable, agreeable, or enjoyable, and it is being bound by the actions and consequences of actions governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

There is neither right nor wrong. The minds just need to keep inquiring under a pure, calm, and quiet state of mind, devoid of the idea of 'I'/grasping/attachment/identification/craving/aversion/comparison/judgment/expectation, not being influenced by the existing understanding and accumulated knowledge and information in the mind stuff to reason and judge, or to analyze and conclude. But, just to see/witness/observe things as they are, under the presence of the selfless intentionless conscious awareness.

Only upon the silence of the modification of the mind, where there is the absence of mental actions/reactions even just for a few moments (the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty paused functioning momentary) under the presence of the selfless intentionless conscious awareness, but merely being aware of/witnessing/observing the object of awareness as it is, that gives rise to the precious glimpse towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditioning, and non-self, in all and everything, including the mind that perceives suffering, that has the intense yearning towards knowledge/liberation/freedom/peace, that is performing the yoga and/or buddhism practice, that is purifying and quieting the modification of the mind, that is inquiring the truth of everything, that attains direct self-realization towards the truth of everything, and that transcends the evitable and inevitable mind stuff or suffering.

The selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body is impermanent, limited, and conditional, that will decay and disintegrate, that will ceased functioning and existing.

Without the presence of the selfless intentionless conscious awareness, there is no conscious perceiving, knowing, recognizing, intellectual reasoning, discriminating, experiencing, learning, understanding, thinking, feeling, desiring, acting, reacting, enjoying, or suffering. Under the presence of the selfless intentionless conscious awareness, the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body is consciously perceiving, knowing, recognizing, intellectual reasoning, discriminating, experiencing, learning, understanding, thinking, feeling, desiring, acting, reacting, enjoying, or suffering, through the organs of the senses and the organs of actions, of the physical body.

Under the presence or absence of the conscious awareness, the selfless mind perceives/experiences or doesn't perceive/experience pleasurable enjoyment or painful suffering, but the selfless conscious awareness doesn't enjoy or suffer.

All are selfless. All are just what they are. All are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative.

There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no positive or negative in the selfless intentionless thoughtless actionless changeless timeless causeless attributeless conscious awareness. The conscious awareness deriving from the selfless universal consciousness (the timeless selfless silent witness) is just what it is. It is not being contaminated, or determined, or disturbed, or damaged, or destroyed by the ceaseless changes (the limitation of time, space, and causation/the restlessness of births and deaths of ceaseless thoughts arising, changing, and passing away transitioning in different realms/states of mind) in the names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, that are just being what they are, neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative.

The different qualities in the names and forms are just what they are, neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative. These qualities appeared to be having the quality/attribute of good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative, are being projected by the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty unto all kinds of names and forms, as well as being perceived/recognized by the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty as something good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative, based on the existing inherited and/or adopted beliefs, ideas, values, and practices in the selfless intentionless modification of the mind, under the presence of the selfless intentionless conscious awareness.

Similarly, there is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no positive or negative in the selfless impermanent existence and function of the body and mind, even though the selfless existence and function of the body and mind is limited, conditional, impermanent, and momentary, where it can be functioning efficiently or inefficiently, consciously or instinctively/unconsciously, and it is constantly changing, and eventually stops functioning.

However, under the presence and influence of ignorance in the selfless intentionless modification of the mind, the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty and its selfless intentionless modification of the mind, give rise to all kinds of impure egoistic mental ideas, desires, actions, and reactions under the influence of instinctive/unconscious urges and/or conscious choices, that turn into physical activities/actions/reactions/behaviors, that give rise to the respective consequences, and hence, the body and mind and its ideas, desires, actions, reactions, activities, and behaviors, appeared to be having the quality/attribute of good or evil, right or wrong, positive or negative.

The selfless intentionless conscious awareness is not being contaminated, or determined, or changed, or damaged, or destroyed by the objects of awareness, or the presence and absence of what the mind perceives, recognizes, reasons, discriminates, thinks, believes, and judges as the quality/attribute of good or evil, right or wrong, positive or negative, even though it exists being part of the selfless functions of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty.

Similarly, the selfless function or mechanism of the mind is also neither good nor bad, but it appears to be something good or bad, under the absence or presence of the veil of ignorance.

Non-blind believing. Non-blind following. Non-blind-agreeing/disagreeing. Non-blind practicing. Non-blind propagating.

The presence of freewill vs the absence of freewill

The inevitable unconditional unlimited permanent infinite truth of Selflessness and Impermanence in all and everything, doesn't change or disappear, that cannot be changed, or modified, or destroyed, or eliminated, regardless of whether there is the realization, or knowledge, or understanding towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence in all and everything, or not. It is what it is.

All and everything that are selfless and impermanent, that exist and function as what they are, only for a momentary limited duration, are constantly changing selflessly and impermanently, as well as the selfless impermanent changes are conditional, that can be influenced, rendered, or modified in certain way, up to certain degrees, under certain limitation) during the momentary limited existence and function of all and everything.

There is, and there isn't freewill, depending on the subjects and the current conditions or situations, that is also limited and conditional, that can be presence or absence, that is available or not available, and that can be empowered from the existing existence.

Such as, 'correct understanding'/'willpower'/'self control' might be absent/not available/non-existing (non-activated), or might be present/available/existing and maybe significantly or insignificantly (activated), in this present moment now, but correct understanding, willpower, and self control can be formed or developed from non-existence, and be empowered from existing existence. Because all that are both limited (that can be presence or absence/available or not available/existing or non-existing/significant or insignificant/strong or weak) and conditional (that can be developed or subjugated/annihilated, can be empowered or suppressed/weakened, can increase or decrease, during the limited momentary existence), even if all and everything are selfless and impermanent, where there is no finite or infinite independent 'I' existing in the existence of all kinds of names and forms, and the selfless existence of all and everything is momentary.

The selfless eyes cannot see itself (being ignorant towards itself), but under the presence of a selfless reflective object, the selfless eyes can see itself (knowing Thyself). From the absence of knowledge to the presence of knowledge under the presence of doubting, learning, experiencing, investigating, reflecting, and inquiring. All and everything that the mind perceives, or the selfless impermanent modification of the mind/the mind stuff, deriving from its own selfless impermanent existence and function, are the selfless reflector for the mind to know itself. It doesn't need to rely on something that is not coming from itself.

That is freewill that comes along with the selfless impermanent existence and function of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty.

That is the knowledge/liberation/freedom/peace/independence that is always there, that is existing in all selfless minds, regardless of the absence or presence of physical and mental deformity/disability, happy or unhappy, pure or impure, kind or unkind, understanding or non-understanding, ignorant and selfish, or not, violent and hurtful, or not.

There is freewill (that is neither good nor bad, depending on the presence or absence of correct understanding that gives rise to the type of ideas/thoughts/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors and their consequences) in the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body, even if it is limited and conditional, under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness in the selfless thinking and acting faculty for certain things (to make conscious choices and to perform action and inaction that can influence, render, and modify the condition of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and the modification/state of the mind), especially towards transcending (not being over-powered or determined by) all kinds of inevitable limitation and the absence of freewill (not by choice) to be existing and functioning that needed to be depending on the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements.

Without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, there is no physical body, there is no perceptive thinking and acting faculty, there is no physical and mental desire/action/reaction that give rise to the consequences of desire/action/reaction. (The absence of freewill or choice to be coming into selfless impermanent momentary limited and conditional life existence to be existing and functioning as what they are)

The chair didn't exist until it exists. The chair 'didn't' (it didn't exist until it comes into existence) and doesn't (after it comes into existence) have the intention or freewill to be existing to be what it is. Similarly, all and everything. The selfless body and mind didn't exist until it exists. The selfless body and mind 'didn't' and doesn't have the intention or freewill to be existing to be what it is. That is the truth of Non-self and Selflessness. The truth is fixed, permanent, infinite, indestructible. The truth doesn't change.

Under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, the selfless physical body with the selfless thinking and acting mind is existing and functioning as what they are, but there is no 'I' existing in the entire formation of the different bodily systems and components that perform their own specific duty and work together selflessly and inter-dependent on one another that enabling the selfless existence and function of the physical body and the thinking and acting mind to be what they are. (The truth of Selflessness)

Even though all and everything are selfless, and impermanent, that only existing for a momentary limited duration, where there is no independent individual self identity/existence of 'I' existing in all and everything to be undergoing selfless impermanent changes/to enjoy or suffer, it doesn't mean that all these selfless names and forms don't exist or function as what they are, momentarily, selflessly, and impermanently, undergoing ceaseless selfless impermanent changes, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect (actions and consequences of actions), in this present moment now, in this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. It doesn't mean that the selfless existence and function of the selfless complex thinking and acting faculty under the presence of the selfless conscious awareness doesn't have the limited freewill of choice making and to perform selfless action or inaction, either under the presence or absence of correct understanding that is limited and conditional.

There is no 'I' existing in the selfless impermanent body and mind to be responsible for the actions and consequences of actions of the selfless impermanent body and mind, it doesn't mean that the selfless impermanent body and mind is not responsible for its actions and consequences of actions.

All kinds of selfless names and forms are undergoing inevitable ceaseless impermanent changes from forming to existence, to decay and disintegration, to ceased existence. (The truth of Impermanence)

Coming into selfless impermanent momentary life existence that is limited and conditional (not by its own choice/the absence of freewill, as it didn't exist until the selfless formation of its selfless impermanent momentary existence and function that is limited and conditional), but if without the presence of conscious awareness (of being disconnected from the selfless consciousness that is always there as it is), under certain physical/mental deformity or disability, there is no 'perception of suffering', there is no 'yearning to be free from suffering', there is no 'the path of transcending suffering', there is no 'the end of suffering'.

Under the presence of conscious awareness, the selfless impermanent physical body under the existence and function of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty perceives/experiences/undergoing inevitable selfless impermanent changes that gives rise to the perception of suffering under the presence of ignorance (the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, or restless thought current/activities) a.k.a. under the absence of correct understanding (clarity, devoid of the restless thought current/activities, impurities, egoism, the idea of 'I'), and there is the yearning to be free from suffering, and there is the path of transcending suffering, and there is the end of suffering. (The presence of limited freewill to make conscious choices, and to perform action or inaction that can influence, or render, or modify the limited and conditional condition of the physical body and the modification/state of the mind in certain way, that influence the inevitable selfless impermanent changes in certain way)

The presence of conscious choice making and the opportunity and possibility of performing action out of the limited freewill of the selfless thinking and acting faculty either under the presence or absence of correct understanding that give rise to respective consequences of actions, are depending on the availability of the selfless supportive energy and elements, and the current condition and situation that is limited, conditional, and impermanent. (The truth of Non-self, not in the control of the selfless thinking and acting faculty that has the limited freewill to be making conscious choice and to perform action/inaction either under the presence or absence of correct understanding)

Even though there is the limitation of Non-self, of the presence and absence of supportive energy and elements, and the current conditions and situations (not in the control of the selfless thinking and acting faculty), that gives rise to the presence or absence of opportunity, or the possibility and impossibility to be materializing the choices made to turn into actions in the present moment now, however, the possibility and impossibility of materializing the choices made to perform action, are also impermanent, that will change.

The selfless mind that understands, it will seize the presence of certain opportunity and possibility that is available in this present moment now, to perform certain action, to materialize some of its choices made, while not being determined by the absence of certain opportunity or possibility in the present moment now, where it is not possible to perform certain action, to materialize some of its choices made. But it will wait for the presence of opportunity and possibility for performing certain actions, while make use of the availability of some other opportunity and possibility to be performing some other actions that is available in the present moment now.

Instead of being determined by the availability or non-availability of certain condition and situation, the selfless thinking and acting faculty can choose to either make use or not making use of the current available condition and situation in certain way to achieve certain thing, to choose and determine what to do with the current condition and situation, while not being the slave of the availability or non-availability of certain condition and situation in the present moment now. The selfless thinking faculty can choose to perform action or inaction, and how it wants to act and react under the presence of correct understanding and self control, not being over-powered by the instinctive urges/impulses. That is TRANSCEND. That is freewill, that is existing in this present moment now.

It is like maneuvering the yacht (action) that needs to depend on the availability of the wind and the direction of the wind (opportunity and possibility) to go somewhere, to reach specific destination (materializing choices made). The yacht or the wind doesn't determine the specific destination. The sailor (the selfless thinking and acting faculty under the presence of conscious awareness) does (out of the limited freewill of choice making). The sailor might need to wait for the presence of wind, and the right direction of the wind, and seizes the presence of wind that has the right direction that enables the sailor to reach the specific destination, patiently, persistently, and determinedly.

Meanwhile, if there is the presence of wind and the direction of the wind can bring the yacht to some other destinations, that are also within the choices, or even not within the choices of the sailor, to rest and refuel while waiting for the presence of the wind with the right direction heading towards the initial final destination, why not? (Transcend, or liberation, where the selfless thinking and acting faculty is not being over-powered, or determined, or disturbed, by the limited and conditional selfless impermanent changes, conditions, and situations that are not in its control (Non-self and Impermanence).

Without the yacht or the sailor, or without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements that enables the yacht and the sailor to be what they are, there is no yacht or sailor. (Selflessness)

The yacht or the sailor is constantly changing (inevitable selfless impermanent changes) upon the beginning of its selfless existence and function, of decay, disintegration, ceased function, and ceased existence (decompose). (Impermanence)

The yacht or the sailor is dependent on the presence and absence of wind and the direction of wind that is not in their control, in order to be in use or to be in action. (Non-self)

Meanwhile, the ceaseless maintenance of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional condition of the yacht, to be functioning and performing at its best condition and efficiency for the maximum duration, is at the conscious choice and action of the sailor or the care taker of the yacht, as well as the ceaseless maintenance of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional condition of the sailor, to be functioning and performing at its best condition and efficiency for the maximum duration, to be well-equip with the essential knowledge and skill to be sailing and maneuvering the yacht and dealing with extreme conditions or weather or situations, is at the conscious choice and action of the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the sailor.

Not all sailors or yachts can reach their initial final destination at the desirable specific speed (limited and conditional), but, each and everyone will be arriving at their initial final destination, or any destinations, sooner or later, eventually, as long as they haven't ceased functioning and existing yet, or they are still functioning or existing supported by the selfless energy and elements to be existing and functioning as what they are, or the sailor decided to abandon being a sailor, while the yacht that might or might not be continuously functioning, can be abandoned, or can be used by another sailor, until it ceased functioning and existing.

Under great desperation (the presence of intense yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace), the sailor might find some other ways (paddle(s) or an engine) under the absence of wind of the right direction, or even, abandoning the yacht and swims, or walks over land and climbs over mountains, while taking sufficient rest and refuel during the entire journey, and arrives at the destination of its choice, regardless of the presence of any difficulties, obstacles, or challenges. It is called willpower, perseverance, determination, adjustment, adaptation, accommodation, forbearance, patience, and never give up.

That's why the presence of that limited freewill to be making conscious choices under the presence of conscious awareness, that can render or direct the selfless evolution in certain way, is highly precious.

Make good use of the available energy and elements, instead of being determined by the energy and elements that are intentionless. The energy and elements, or the selfless impermanent life existence doesn't decide how the thinking and acting faculty will make use of them, or the selfless impermanent life existence, but it is the selfless thinking and acting faculty that decides what to do with the availability of the energy and elements, or the selfless impermanent life existence, even if it is momentary and limited.

Without that, the living organisms are just merely existing, functioning, and surviving in the present moment now until they ceased functioning and ceased existing, being completely over-powered, or determined, or influenced by (being the slave of) the selfless instinctive survival instinct, the selfless instinctive urges/impulses, the selfless inherited genetic traits, the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, the selfless actions and consequences of actions, the selfless inputs and the selfless impermanent surrounding environment, or the internal and external influential conditions and influences, and the selfless impermanent changes/evolution (the absence of "conscious freewill to evolve in certain way under the presence of correct understanding/knowledge").

Unconscious - The presence of autonomous physical and mental activities operated under the absence of freewill to be maintaining life existence and function under the availability of the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, up to certain extend, and the absence of non-autonomous conscious by choice physical and mental activities operated under the presence of limited freewill. (Being the slave of the instinctive survival instinct and urges/impulses)

Conscious - The presence of both autonomous physical and mental activities operated under the absence of freewill for life maintenance, as well as non-autonomous conscious by choice physical and mental activities operated under the presence of limited freewill that can influence, affect, or impact the life maintenance operated under the autonomous selfless bodily systems, or the selfless impermanent changes (decay and disintegration) of the body and mind in certain way (either constructive/beneficial/prolonged life existence/enhanced bodily mechanisms and functions or destructive/detrimental/shortened life existence/weakened bodily mechanisms and functions, depending on the presence or absence of correct understanding and self control), under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, up to certain extend. (The ability/possibility to be transcending all kinds of limitation and condition, or not being the slave of the instinctive survival instinct and urges/impulses)

The mind that understands this, will do one's best within one's ability and possibility to be looking after oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment, performs one's existing duties and responsibilities, without violence or force or control, without attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, not trying to force or control anything to be or not to be in certain way, respecting all and everyone to be what they are, as they are, and changing as they are, while allowing the fruit/result/effect/outcome of one's action to be what it is, to change as it is, allowing the body and mind and the world to change/evolve as it is, after performing actions.

That is perform actions and renounce the fruit of actions.

That is inaction in action.

That is TRANSCEND, liberation, freedom, or peace.

The selfless intentionless survival instinct

Selfless survival instinct is neither good nor bad, it is just what it is, a selfless intentionless biological autonomous mechanism that is needed to be existing/functioning selflessly in all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional living organism (with or without the selfless thinking and acting faculty/mobile or immobile) for the selfless existence and function as well as the survival or sustainability of the selfless life existence of all kinds of living organism up to a certain extend, because all the different life supporting systems and components that are forming the existence and function of the living organism, are selfless and impermanent, limited and conditional, that have a limited existence, and that will decay and disintegrate.

Unlike non-living organisms or objects that are also selfless and impermanent, limited and conditional, if without the selfless autonomous mechanism of survival instinct, the living organisms cannot be formed 'properly', or come into existence to be what they are, not to say, to survive/function as what they are upon coming into existence. Similarly, a thing that is meant to be a car, but if it is missing one of the essential components that makes a car to be existing and functioning as what it is, then it doesn't become a car, or it is a non-functional car that is missing one of the essential components.

Survival instinct alone, either under the absence of consciousness/awareness/freewill of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, or, under the presence of consciousness/awareness/freewill of the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind that is devoid of ignorance and its by-products of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, is merely about instinctive non-conscious/choice-less/intentionless autonomous physical and mental activities that are activated under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, to maintain life existence, such as -

- Activate the signal/sensation of hunger and thirst or weakness/pain or discomfort and malfunction demanding for conscious action from the thinking and acting faculty to be attending/gratifying the need to replenish energy/air/water/nutrients/minerals, as well as the need of energy conservation and rest to allow recovery from overuse/exhaustion/tension/weakness/injury/illness, where the living organism needs to be keep refueling energy repeatedly before complete energy depletion happens, as well as to be looking after any existing excessive energy depletion/tiredness/tension/weakness/injury/illness before they become worst and jeopardizing the life maintenance, or else, life maintenance becomes difficult and impossible, or the biological autonomous mechanism of the different life supporting systems will be malfunction and dysfunction, and eventually, ceased operating/functioning, or ceased living.

- Activate the auto immune and survival reflex, to be avoiding and minimizing internal and external damage/injury/illness/threat/danger/risk/extreme detrimental environment, condition, and situation, that is detrimental or threatening to the survival or maintenance of the life existence and function of the living organism.

- Activate repair and regeneration (growth) up to a certain extend, where decay/aging/weakness/illness/malfunction/dysfunction/ceased function/disintegration take place.

- Activate the signal/sensation demanding for conscious action to be balancing between activeness and idleness (rest/sleep/awake/energy consumption and replenishment/waste products elimination/interchanging between physical activity and mental activity/interchanging between different positions and movements) - neither continuous prolonged activeness or overuse (that leads to excessive or complete exhaustion/energy depletion/damage) nor continuous prolonged idleness or under-use (non-attending the needs for maintaining sustainable existence and proper function), where both extremity will be detrimental to life maintenance, that will lead to malfunction and dysfunction (the presence of difficulty for maximal survival/existence), and eventually, ceased living, or ceased existence.

- Activate the digestion and absorption and distribution of energy and elements, and the elimination of waste products, of the complete biological autonomous life mechanism or bodily system, that is happening ceaselessly from the beginning of life existence until the end of life existence, either under the absence or presence of consciousness/awareness/freewill of the thinking and acting faculty/conscious by choice activities.

- Similarly, activate the selfless thought processing process of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind, to be processing/digesting/absorbing/distributing/storing/dissolving/releasing the ceaseless mind inputs/thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires/imaginations/memories/experiences/perceptions of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations/dreams, of all kinds of mind stuffs, or mental and emotional activities, or states of mind.

- Activate evolution/changes/adjustment of both the hardware and software of the living organism, to adapt/accommodate the current internal and external condition and situation for continuous survival, or to sustain maximal existence until the end of existence.

- Activate reproduction, to sustain, pass on, and expand existence, to create conducive condition for maximum survival, to gather internal and external assistance/support/knowledge/skill, to strengthen defense.

The selfless unlimited and unconditional attributeless changeless birthless and deathless universal consciousness beyond existence and non-existence is undetermined or uncontaminated by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of selfless impermanent names and forms that arising, changing, and passing away upon it (Both the selfless projector and the selfless projector screen that projects and hosts all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional names and forms, is not being determined, affected, or contaminated by all kinds of selfless impermanent limited and conditional names and forms that come and go).

The selfless mechanism of the selfless thinking and acting faculty is the selfless projector of names and forms that projects thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires/actions/reactions upon the selfless projector screen (the selfless impermanent modification of the mind/thought activities), as well as the selfless perceiver that perceives names and forms (all kinds of experiences) through the senses and sense organs, as well as the selfless action performer that performs action and reaction via the organs of action and speech or expression (activated by instinctive urge for survival and/or conscious intention for gratification of desires).

The selfless mechanism of survival instinct is the intentionless mechanism that activate all kinds of life supporting systems, to maintain equilibrium of the physical and mental inputs and outputs, energy consumption, energy absorption, energy distribution, energy storage, energy conservation, and energy expenditure, to sustain or maintain life existence (up to a certain extend) until the end of life existence, even under the absence of consciousness, or awareness, or the freewill of the selfless thinking and acting faculty. Such as, if the physical body is out of the supply of energy/water/air/nutrients/minerals to maintain the life supporting system, the bodily system will start to consume the body itself to extract energy/water/air/nutrients/minerals from the entire physical body that is made up of all these, until the supply of all these life supporting essential energy and elements is available again, or else, the life supporting system will eventually malfunction/dysfunction (energy depletion), until it stops operating/functioning (complete energy depletion/ceased living/existing), and disintegrate.

The selfless conscious thinking and acting faculty is not the selfless intentionless survival instinct, just as all kinds different individual selfless systems in the selfless physical body of all kinds of selfless living organism that come with their own respective selfless duty. Although the survival instinct is there to be activating certain signal/sensation to the selfless conscious thinking and acting faculty demanding certain attention and action for attending certain needs for life maintenance. Meanwhile, what and how the selfless thinking and acting faculty acts and reacts, or not, towards the instinctive urge/signal, is being influenced by the presence or absence of correct understanding and self-control or the absence or presence of ignorance and its by-products in the modification of the mind.

The thinking and acting faculty could be influenced and over-powered by the instinctive sexual urge and/or conscious lustful desire under the absence of correct understanding and willpower of self-control, where it is being determined or over-powered by the instinctive autonomous activities in the physical body and the selfless modification of the mind operated under the selfless intentionless survival instinct, or, the thinking and acting faculty can developed correct understanding and willpower of self-control, and not being determined or over-powered by all kinds of selfless instinctive autonomous activities in the physical body and the selfless modification of the mind, transcending survival instinct and all kinds of selfless impermanent changes in the body and mind, of ceaseless life maintenance, hunger and thirst, sexual desire, the selfless impermanent thought process/modification/state of the mind, selfless instinctive evolution, non-instinctive by choice transformation, decay, illness, weakness, injury, aging, and disintegration.

The selfless/ego-less/'I'-less biological autonomous mechanism of several bodily systems (both hardware and software) that work together with one another, that support and inter-dependent on one another, are solely performing their respective duty selflessly under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, however, the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the living organism could be generating conscious non-autonomous (by choice/freewill) desire or don't desire, action or inaction, that are influencing and impacting the selfless biological autonomous life mechanism in certain way, either intentionally or unintentionally, where the impact could be supporting and enhancing the overall well-being under the presence of correct understanding devoid of ignorance and its by-products, or the impact could be hurtful and damaging to the overall well-being under the presence of ignorance or the disturbed discontented dissatisfied impure restless state of mind, devoid of correct understanding.

There is no 'I' in the entire mechanism of the hardware and software of the physical body and the thinking and acting faculty, however, under the absence of correct understanding, or under the presence of ignorance and its by-products, there is the idea of 'I' (the ego/Ahamkara) existing in the modification of the mind deriving from ignorance, that influence the thinking and acting faculty (the mind) to be generating actions and reactions via the organs of action and speech or expression, to be gratifying boundless desires (craving) and don't desires (aversion), and upon desires are not being gratified, there is mental reaction of all kinds of impurities arising and occupying the modification of the mind (the thought process), that lead to physical reaction of hurtful or damaging behavior under the influence of impurities.

That process between the rise of certain mental actions/reactions (mental and emotional activities), regardless of whether instinctive survival urge or non-instinctive conscious by choice desire, and might or might not turn into physical actions/reactions or expression, can be intervened or cutoff by the thinking and acting faculty that has developed certain degrees of correct understanding, willpower, and self-control.

The mind perceives the sensation of hunger (instinctive survival urge). The mind can either eat now or later, or doesn't want to eat at all (non-instinctive conscious by choice desire and action/inaction), or there is no availability of food (the current condition and situation of the availability of food as well as food choices). Under the presence of hunger, but somehow, it is not being attended or gratified immediately or as soon as possible, the mind acts and reacts differently, either remains calmed/equanimous under the presence of correct understanding and self-control, or becomes agitated/dissatisfied/irritated/irrational under the influence of ignorance and its by-products.

The selfless thinking and acting faculty (the selfless perceiver/the selfless thinker/the selfless experiencer/the selfless action performer) can transcend its own modification of the mind that is supported and influenced by the selfless biological autonomous mechanism operated under the selfless intentionless survival instinct under the selfless support and influence of the selfless energy and elements.

The selfless thinking and acting faculty that is functioning under the presence of correct understanding, or under the absence of ignorance and its by-products, devoid of the restless egoistic impure disturbed state of mind, can choose whether it wants to act or react, or not, and how it wants to act or react towards all kinds of experiences, of what kind of behavior, desire/don't desire, or decision making, under the presence of correct understanding, willpower, and self-control, not being determined or over-powered by the instinctive biological autonomous mechanism or bodily system and the thought processing process operated under the selfless survival instinct supported and influenced by the selfless energy and elements, being aware of the selfless impermanent physical changes and thought activities, without attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, while may, or may not, utilize the momentary selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence to serve the world that is full of unnecessary and evitable suffering deriving from ignorance and its by-products.

The existence of all kinds of ignorance inflicted suffering is not the responsibility of the selfless intentionless survival instinct or the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the selfless living organism, but it is merely the consequences of the presence of ignorance and its by-product influencing the selfless thinking and acting faculty to be generating conscious by choice desires/behaviors/actions/reactions out of ignorance, that give rise to the consequences of all that.

Regardless of whether there is ignorance or correct understanding, or not, the selfless survival instinct is still performing its selfless intentionless duty of being what it is. However, the selfless thinking and acting faculty could be performing action/inaction that is benefiting or deteriorating to the over-all well-being of the selfless physical body or the selfless bodily systems, under the influence of correct understanding or ignorance.

Greed and ambitiousness, pride and shame, anger and hatred, jealousy and envy, attachment and identification, craving and aversion, discrimination and selfishness, manipulation and exploitation, possessiveness and separateness, violence and cruelty, bitterness and vengeance, chasing after endless indulgence in luxurious pleasurable enjoyment of the senses, the sense of loneliness, the sense of self-esteem and self-worth, clinging and longing, politicking, plotting, scheming, of all kinds of impurities, are arising in the modification of the mind under the presence of ignorance and its by-products, on top of the selfless intentionless survival instinct.

If tired, then take rest. If hungry and thirsty (energy depletion), then eat and drink to replenish energy. If energy replenished (absence of hunger and thirst), then stopped eating and drinking. If there is waste products accumulated, then pee/shit/sweat. If there's indigestion, then vomit/diarrhea. If there's germ/virus, then increase body temperature (fever). If injured or sicked, then rest, treat, and recover. If this position is uncomfortable, then change position. If holding something burning hot, then let it go. If it's too cold, then warm up. If it's too hot, then cool down. If there is presence of risk, then pay higher attentiveness and cautiousness. Survival instinct alone, devoid of ignorance/the idea of 'I'/egoism, doesn't give rise to all kinds of impurities that hurt oneself and/or others.

Survival instinct under the absence of correct understanding and self-control, the thinking and acting faculty would generate hurtful desire/behavior/action/reaction unto oneself and others, being over-powered by ignorance and its by-products (the restless egoistic impure modification/state of the mind).

Survival instinct under the presence of correct understanding and self-control, the thinking and acting mind has the ability of not generating hurtful desire/behavior/action/reaction unto oneself and others, devoid of ignorance and its by-products.

While respect and allow the selfless intentionless survival instinct to perform its selfless duty of being what it is, the selfless thinking and acting mind can perform its selfless duty of annihilating ignorance and its by-products from the selfless modification of the mind, by quieting, disciplining, and purifying the restless egoistic impure modification of the mind, to develop correct understanding and self-control, to know Thyself, to know the truth of selflessness and impermanence, that enables TRANSCEND to be happening effortlessly, transcending its own selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function, including the selfless survival instinct and the selfless impermanent condition of the entire bodily system.

That's why the importance of freeing the selfless impermanent modification of the mind from ignorance and its by-products, to have peace and clarity in one's mind, is the highest duty of all minds, that is contributing to world peace ultimately.

Conserve energy, purify energy, channel energy, and transcend energy

Life is energy. Without energy, there is no life. The modification of the mind is supported and influenced by energy. Without energy, there is no modification of the mind. The thinking and acting mind that is functioning under the influence of ignorance and its by-products (the restless impure modification of the mind), ignorantly attaching onto and identifying with the restless impure modification of the mind as what/who it is, and generates attachment, desires (craving and aversion), actions, and reactions towards the mind perception of names and forms of all kinds of experiences, that give rise to the consequences of actions and reactions, that are impacting the physical and mental condition or the state of the mind of oneself, as well as affecting all and everything in the surrounding environment.

The ignorant mind keeps hurting itself and others and the surrounding environment, either wittingly (intentional action and reaction influenced by ignorance, egoism, impurities, or restlessness) or unwittingly (instinctive action and reaction influenced by survival instinct), out of the disturbed dissatisfied discontented agitated unease suffering state of mind (occupying and over-powering by ignorance and its by-products).

And hence, the minds that are aware of this, and if they want to know and understand (free from ignorance), or want to stop hurting oneself and all and everyone and everything, or have yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace/suffering free, then the path of yoga and meditation, or self-inquiry and self-realization, is there, if they want.

Yoga and meditation practice act as the tool or medium to -

Conserve energy - Not spending energy in worldly passionate egoistic ideas, affairs, connections, activities, and interactions, as well as dealing with all kinds of ignorance and consequences of ignorance.

Purify energy - Unblock any energy blockage (release physical/mental/emotional tension built up deriving from ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness), while filtering and restricting the type of physical and mental energy inputs/consumption/influential elements that feed or influence the physical and mental condition or the state of mind.

Channel energy - Focus the existing energy or attention entirely onto self-inquiry to know Thyself, to free the modification of the mind from ignorance and its by-products (restless births and deaths of ceaseless thoughts arising, changing, and passing away), that leads to the annihilation of the modification of the mind, or Silence, or Samadhi, or resting in peace that is unconditional and unlimited, or devoid of restless births and deaths of ceaseless thought after thought arising, changing, and passing away, interchanging in different realms of different states of mind. - Yoga Citta Vritti Nirodhah

Transcend energy (the selfless impermanent existence and function of the limited and conditional body and mind) - The attainment of self-realization towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence enables the selfless mind to let go or transcend effortlessly its own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function that is existing and functioning selflessly under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, and all THAT that it perceives/experiences in the momentary worldly life existence of names and forms that is selfless and impermanent, regardless of whether all kinds of names and forms/experiences that it perceives/experiences are pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable, and agreeable or disagreeable.

Upon Self-realization or TRANSCEND takes place, the selfless mind may or may not utilize the existing momentary worldly existence under the selfless support of energy and elements to be performing selfless service to serve the world, unconditionally, while not being determined or over-powered by the selfless impermanent existence and function of the limited conditional body and mind, a.k.a. energy and elements and cause and effect, or survival instinct.

Anything that has a beginning of existence and an end of existence, of birth and death, that comes under specific name, form, and attribute (quality), that is constantly changing between birth (beginning of existence) and death (end of existence), that depends on the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements to be existing, is selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, including the selfless energy and elements that support and influence all and everything to be existing, changing, and ceased existing, are also selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional.

The annihilation of the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, or the subside of the selfless impermanent thoughts current, that is supported/limited/conditioned by the selfless energy and elements, and that is governed by cause and effect - Birthlessness/deathlessness/namelessness/formlessness/attributelessness/changelessness/timelessness/selflessness that is unlimited and unconditional - Unlimited and unconditioned by energy and elements or cause and effect.

All these are nothing to do with 'beliefs', 'spirituality', 'healing', 'super extraordinary', 'mystic', 'sacredness', or 'untouchable'.

Transcend vs over-power or control

Depending on the presence and absence of the different degrees of correct understanding and willpower that can be developed and empowered, the selfless impermanent and limited conditional perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind (the selfless thinking and acting faculty of the selfless physical body) can transcend all THAT that is happening in its selfless impermanent and limited conditional modification/function and momentary existence.

Under the absence of correct understanding and willpower, or under the presence of ignorance and its by-products, 'naturally'/'spontaneously'/'instinctively'/'ignorantly', most minds want or try to over-power or control all THAT, being over-powered by survival instinct (the autonomous biological bodily system for survival or life maintenance). That's why there are many possessiveness, hoarding, covetousness, intrusion, intimidation, exploitation, bully, discrimination, offensiveness, defensiveness, control, cruelty, violence, and fighting in this world, that are truly unnecessary and evitable.

Under the presence of correct understanding and willpower, or under the absence of ignorance and its by-products, the mind can transcend all THAT, not being over-powered by survival instinct or the selfless impermanent and limited conditional existence and function of the selfless body and mind.

The biggest power in this world is not about the limited and conditional ability to over-power or control all THAT, of influencing and controlling or over-powering all kinds of influential energy and elements that are influencing and conditioning the selfless impermanent and limited conditional physical body with the selfless thinking and acting faculty to be or not to be in certain way, as well as to over-power or control all the others or the world to be under one's control or desire. As it requires tremendous amount of continuous energy and continuous effort to over-power or control something or anything, while energy and effort are limited and conditional. Just as to keep holding onto something or to keep doing something, is exhausting and limited, and is subject to the presence and absence of certain condition/possibility, that is also limited and impermanent.

That's why the desire/aspiration/ambition/action and its consequences/effects/fruits/outcomes of 'to over-power or control all and everything to be or not to be in certain way under my control or my desire' is limited and conditional.

That's why the yoga and meditation practice and their effects/fruits is also limited and conditional.

All kinds of momentary effects of the yoga and meditation practice are not the goal of the yoga and meditation practice, however, they are essential, where they served as the tool to be influencing/modifying/purifying/rendering the modification/function/state of mind in certain way, that would help to develop the essential correct understanding and willpower or to remove the veil of ignorance and its by-products, under the presence of intense yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace, right attentiveness, right attitude, and right effort, that enables the mind to let go or transcend (not being over-powered by) all THAT, effortlessly.

There is needless of energy or effort in transcend or let go all and everything, or not holding onto anything. That is why TRANSCEND is unlimited and unconditional, even though all kinds of actions/practices that enable TRANSCEND to be happening, are limited and conditional, as it requires tremendous continuous energy and effort to be engaging in all kinds of actions/practices, until TRANSCEND (Self realization towards selflessness and impermanence) takes place, as it is, effortlessly.

If all THAT, including the persistent actions/practices that enable TRANSCEND to be happening, are selfless and limited, then why is it possible to transcend all THAT?

Because all THAT is not only selfless and limited (modification is impossible and the absence of correct understanding and willpower/freewill - the TRUTH of selflessness and impermanence doesn't change or cannot be altered/conquered), but all THAT is also conditional and impermanent (modification is possible and the presence of developed correct understanding and willpower/freewill is possible - Transcending all kinds of limitations that are existing and that are inevitable under the truth of selflessness and impermanence, is possible).

The presence of willpower alone, is neither good nor bad, where it can be good or bad, depending on the presence and absence of correct understanding (the absence and presence of ignorance and its by-products). One can have intense willpower and high level of energy under perfectly excellent physical and mental health and fitness condition/function, to perform as many actions as possible that would be constructive or destructive, that would promote peace or unrest, in oneself, and unto others and the surrounding environment.

Similarly, the presence of attentiveness or concentration and knowledge or talent is neither good nor bad, where one can be highly attentive or concentrate making use of the existing knowledge or talent to create something constructive or destructive, that promotes peace or unrest.

It all depends on the presence and absence of correct understanding, or the absence and presence of ignorance and its by-products.

That's why the annihilation of ignorance and its by-products is highly important, and it's the highest duty of all minds.

It's the only and ultimate way to world peace that derived from the presence of peace (the absence of unrest) in the minds that are occupying in this world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, where the mind doesn't hurt itself and others and the environment under the presence of correct understanding, or stops hurting itself and others and the environment out of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, during its momentary selfless impermanent and limited conditional existence and function in this infinite space.

If the selfless physical body and mind doesn't function as what it is (malfunction or dysfunction), or if one doesn't have the capability of learning, knowing, understanding, and doing anything, then there is nothing can be done, unless the malfunction or dysfunction is detectable and repairable or fixable.

Just as if there is no organ of the eyes or the sense of seeing, or if there is certain dysfunction in the organ of the eyes or the sense of seeing, then there is no perception of sight. And even if there is the organ of the eyes or the sense of seeing and they are in perfect condition, but if without the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, or if there is absence of light, the mind cannot perceive sight. That is limited and cannot be changed. But, that doesn't limit or restrict the mind to perceive other names and forms via some other organs or senses. And the mind can transcend that limitation of the absence of the organ of the eyes or the sense of seeing, or the dysfunction of the organ of the eyes or the sense of seeing, or the absence of light, and not being determined by that limitation.

If there is completely no awareness or mind perception towards 'the presence of suffering', there is no need of 'transcending' suffering, as suffering doesn't exist or isn't being perceived by a perceiver.

Before one knows and understands about how to do something, of course one doesn't know and doesn't understand about how to do something. However, as long as the body and mind is functioning as what it is, or if one has the capability of learning, knowing, understanding, and doing something, one can learn and know and understand about how to do something, if one wants to learn and know and understand about how to do something. And it takes certain amount of energy and effort from not knowing/not understanding/not able to do something until one learns, knows, understands, and keeps practicing or training until one is be able to do something skillfully, or effortlessly.

If there is the beginning of existence, there is the end of existence.

If there is up, there is down.

If there is front, there is back.

If there is big, there is small.

If there is unrest, there is peace.

If there is the limited, there is the unlimited.

If there is the conditional, there is the unconditional.

If there is strength, there is weakness.

If there is the presence of suffering, there is the absence of suffering.

If there is the presence of ignorance, there is the absence of ignorance.

And vice versa.

If there is the awareness or mind perception of 'the presence of limitation/restriction/unrest/suffering', there is also the way of 'transcending' limitation/restriction/unrest/suffering, if there is the yearning towards liberation/freedom/peace/the absence of suffering. It's limited and conditional, but yet, it's possible, although it takes certain amount of energy and effort for all that to be happening. Above all, all kinds of limitation, restriction, unrest, or suffering are also limited and conditional. That's why it's possible to transcend all kinds of limitation, restriction, unrest, or suffering.

All kinds of problems are limited and conditional. To solve any problems, one needs to find out the root cause of the problems, and from there, one can 'dissolve' or 'solve' the problems. If there are some 'unsolvable' problems, it is because the root cause of those problems hasn't been known (yet).

How much one can hold, is limited.

How much one doesn't hold, is unlimited.

How much one can know, is limited.

How much one doesn't know, is unlimited.

It's a very simple understanding.

The ignorant one is ignorant towards the unlimited while keeps chasing after the limited.

The wise one respects the unlimited and renounces the limited, without attachment/grasping/clinging, transcending all kinds of duality, including the limited/conditional/finite (all kinds of names and forms) and the unlimited/unconditional/infinite (the truth of selflessness and impermanence).

The most powerful person in the world will also be completely powerless, under the truth of selflessness and impermanence.
