Be kind to all and everyone indiscriminately and unconditionally

Many minds under the many different organizations/nationalities/communities/families have the similar idea/values/desire/vision to be promoting and exercising the idea of 'unity', or 'we all are one big family', or 'brotherhood/sisterhood' to achieve unity or community strength building among the diverse individual minds, to form one big strong united community sharing some similar ideas/values/belief and disbelief/culture/way of living/way of conduct/visions/interests, in order to achieve peace and harmony, inter-support, cooperation, and protection among each other within the family, or the brotherhood/sisterhood, or the neighbourhood, or the community, or the country, or the entire world of many different diverse countries, nationalities, communities, families, and individuals in different areas, but this is nothing to do with the teachings or practice of yoga and/or buddhism.

Because, when there are more than two individual minds come together, naturally there will be more or less some disagreement/conflict/tension arise here and there from time to time.

It is normal and nothing wrong with the manifestation of certain disagreement/conflict/tension arising from time to time among the different individual minds, even among a loving couple sharing similar interests, or within a family of one ancestry lineage, or among the siblings coming from the same parents, or among the different individuals of the same nationality/community/tribe/culture/spirituality/religion/belief, values, and vision, or among the different communities of the same nationality, not to say, among the many different individuals of the many different families/communities/tribes/cultures/spiritualities/religions/beliefs, values, and visions of the many different nationalities, and not to say, among the many different sentient and non-sentient living organisms of the many different species in a world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Especially if the minds are free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, under the presence of correct understanding and under the absence of grasping, where the minds are being kind to one another indiscriminately and unconditionally, regardless of the many differences among all kinds of diversities, where all kinds of disagreements/conflicts/tensions appear and disappear without turning into violent hurtful action/reaction/behavior/treatment among one another.

However, most minds under the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness are naturally functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, where there is incorrect understanding and grasping, where ceaseless disagreements/conflicts/tensions keep arising and building up and turn into violent hurtful action/reaction/behavior/treatment among one another.

Couples are hurting one another.

Parents and children are hurting one another.

Siblings are hurting one another.

Relatives are hurting one another.

Friends, neighbours, colleagues, business people, politicians, or organizations are hurting one another. 

Different individuals, different communities, different nationalities, different species of sentient living organisms, are intentionally and/or unintentionally hurting one another unnecessarily under the influence of the veil of ignorance, being determined, conditioned, influenced, and over-powered by the idea of 'I'/the ego, egoism, impurities, and restlessness.

Just by promoting and exercising 'unity', or 'we are one big family', or 'brotherhood/sisterhood' among the many different individual minds within the same background/family/community/nationality or from the many different backgrounds/families/communities/nationalities is ineffective and doesn't mean anything, unless the minds are free from the influence of the veil of ignorance.

And if the minds are free from the influence of ignorance, there is no need of the idea, values, vision, and practice of 'unity', or 'we are one big family', or 'brotherhood/sisterhood' with the intention/anticipation of 'not hurting one another' but 'inter-supporting, cooperating, and protecting one another', because the minds that are free from the veil of ignorance will naturally be kind to all and everyone indiscriminately and unconditionally under the presence of correct understanding and under the absence of grasping.

There is needless of promoting and exercising 'unity', or 'we are one big family', or 'brotherhood/sisterhood', but each and every individual mind just needs to free the selfless impermanent limited and conditional function/modification of itself from the influence of the veil of ignorance, a.k.a. the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, out of one's own conscious awareness, initiation, freewill, and effort, powered by intense yearning towards liberation from ignorance/violence/suffering.

All and everyone are being kind to one another, indiscriminately and unconditionally, not because of 'we all are one big family' or 'brotherhood/sisterhood', but even if it's not a family or brotherhood/sisterhood, not having or sharing a similar background/culture/idea/belief/values/vision/interest/community/nationality/species, and there are many disagreements/conflicts/tensions arising from time to time among all and everyone.

There is needless to be violent and hurtful towards oneself and others and the surrounding environment being determined, disturbed, and influenced by the manifestation of some disagreements/conflicts/tensions here and there from time to time that are all impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, if there is the presence of correct understanding and the absence of grasping in the minds.

Just as there are different types of discomfort/tension/weakness/disturbance/dysfunction/disagreement arising and passing away in the physical body here and there from time to time, but the many different individual cells, components, organs, or systems don't need to hurt one another until the entire physical body ceased functioning and existing, where there won't be any cells, components, organs, or systems can exist independently by oneself, not to say, function as what they are.

The world of human beings has been constantly being in a state of unrest and violence before and after civilization, causing so much unnecessary damage to everything, physically, mentally, economically, and environmentally, leaving prolonged damaging impact to all and everyone and everything, even under the current era of advance science and technology, not only hurting among human beings, but also impacting all and everything in the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, because most minds, especially the leaders that were/are holding certain power of leadership and authority under different types of families/communities/organizations as well as the members of all these different families/communities/organizations, are all functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

Any kind of purification or cleaning-up process is naturally and inevitably unpleasant or even painful

There are different kinds of purification or cleaning up process in the world of human beings.

There are endless 'rubbish' and 'messiness' being generated by human beings unto oneself and into the surrounding environment, that need ongoing cleaning/tidying up or cleansing activity, or else, all and everything will be 'drowned' by the excessive ceaseless and endless generation and accumulation of 'rubbish' and 'messiness', or ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, in the world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

There is the essential observation of maintaining internal and external cleanliness, or the engagement in internal and external purification/cleansing process in the teachings of yoga and buddhism.

Internal cleanliness is about the physical and mental purification process. 

Physical purification process to remove physical fatigue, laziness, idleness, under activity, over activity, energy blockage, stiffness, heaviness, sluggishness, inflammation, infection, illness, disease, and etc.

Mind purification process to remove the veil of ignorance, restlessness, cloudiness, murkiness, inattentiveness, passion, the idea of 'I', egoism of attachment, identification, craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, and all kinds of impurities, to be free from the conditional restless impure egoistic thinking and behavior pattern under the influence of worldly passionate egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices, or to be free from the corrupted thinking and incorrect understanding and the consequences of that.

External cleanliness is about the cleanliness/tidiness and simplicity of the surrounding environment as well as the living space and the physical yoga practice space.

Not only the personal living space and yoga practice space need ceaseless ongoing effort for cleaning and tidying up regularly, but also the public space, community space, work space, all kinds of organization, political corruption, as well as natural disasters aftermath and/or ignorance inflicted events aftermath, and so on.

External cleanliness or cleansing process towards the surrounding environment individually and collectively doesn't mean interfering/controlling/influencing/manipulating/reforming/changing/forcing others to be the way that one desires, likes, and agrees with, to chase away/wipe out anyone or anything that oneself doesn't desire, doesn't like, or doesn't agree with.

It has to come from all minds themselves, to be self-initiated to reform/change/purify themselves to be free from the influence of ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, to be free from all kinds of corrupted thinking and incorrect understanding and hurtful damaging behavior, all by the mind itself, out of its own conscious awareness, freewill, desire, and effort.

One can only serve as a selfless intentionless desireless indiscriminate 'mirror' that enable others to be reflecting upon themselves, or not.

All kinds of purification or cleaning up process will naturally and inevitably give rise to some unpleasant and even painful side-effects or consequences.

Just like cleaning up the long time never been cleaned garbage container of intense stubborn stain and foul smell. It's extremely unpleasant and disgusting, but one needs to have the courage or indifference to confront all that during the process of cleaning up. And after that, one needs to have the consistent initiative and effort to clean up the garbage container regularly from time to time, and the cleaning process will become less and less unpleasant, and eventually, without any unpleasantness at all.

The process of eradicating any kind of impurities, or 'rubbish', or corruptions, or hurtful damaging behavior/activity in the physical body, in the modification of the mind, in the diverse community, in all kinds of organization, especially in the world of corrupted egoistic politics, and in the surrounding environment, regardless of personally/individually or communally/collectively, is an unpleasant and exhausting ongoing process. Just as the ongoing maintenance or cleaning process of the garden. Just as the endless maintenance of life existence to be attending ceaseless hunger and thirst and the elimination of waste products until the selfless impermanent life existence comes to an end.

The activation of the conscious mind purification process of eradicating the veil of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, and all kinds of impurities or restlessness, is the same as the engagement in selfless actions of cleaning up/reforming process of eradicating all kinds of corruptions/ignorance and consequences of ignorance in the world of human beings, which is an extremely challenging and prolonged ongoing process.

All kinds of corruptions in the world of human beings are deriving from the corrupted minds functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.

Ignorance can only be eradicated by the mind itself, out of its own conscious awareness, freewill, initiation, effort, yearning for liberation, determination, and perseverance. 

Yoga and buddhism practice is all about the purification/eradication/elimination/cleansing process of annihilating the veil of ignorance in the mind, by the mind itself.

Collective duty cannot happen if without looking after individual duty. By looking after individual duty of reforming one's own conditional thinking and behavior pattern that has been conditioned by the worldly passionate egoistic restless ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices, to be free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, to have the clarity of thinking and correct understanding, and naturally, that engagement in looking after one's own individual duty itself is not separated from the collective duty, where there is less a corrupted mind generating corruption or corrupted thinking and destructive hurtful behavior into the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, as well as, there is more a peaceful mind contributing peace and harmony into the surrounding environment.

It is greatly unpleasant and even painful for the mind especially in the beginning, and it might continuously be unpleasant and painful from time to time, until the mind developed the basic essential fundamental qualities/elements/disciplines, independence or self reliance, and correct understanding, that will eventually lead the mind towards the complete annihilation of the veil of ignorance, or the ultimate liberation from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

Similarly, the cleaning up or reforming process of the long time built up political corruption that exists in many areas or countries, that ceaselessly inflict and promote fear, violence, anger, hatred, unrest, destructive hurtful bullying behavior, selfishness, possessiveness, greed, manipulation, exploitation, discrimination, and separateness among the diverse individuals and diverse communities in the world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything in order to gratified certain selfish agendas, aspirations, and desires of certain human beings, that affects the life existence of all and everyone locally and globally, is highly challenging, exhausting, and unpleasant.

There are many minds have been broken by the ongoing prolonged political corruptions where the many minds are being conditioned by the many corrupted political ideas/beliefs/values/desires/practices/cultures to be thinking, believing, reasoning, understanding, feeling, desiring, behaving, acting, and reacting in the way that hurt oneself and others and the surrounding environment, that not only impacting all and everything locally, but also globally.

From the corrupted thinking and behavior in oneself, it expands to the family ties and connections (corrupted parenting method and family interaction/behavior), to the community (corrupted education/information/aspiration/vision/organization/government/policy/law making/leadership and social interaction/behavior), and to the world of many diversities and the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything (the sense of pride/superiority and inferiority/possessiveness/selfishness/nationalism (this is our country/land and space that belongs to us)/patriotism/globalization/gangsterism/bully/discrimination/hatred/interference/invasion/offensiveness/defensiveness/power greed/wealth greed/status greed/enjoyment greed/expansion greed/reproductive greed/exploitation/manipulation, and so on, that give rise to all kinds of unnecessary evitable painful suffering in the world and damages to nature or the surrounding living environment).

The mind purification process, or conscious mind evolution of changing the conditional thinking and behavior pattern, can only be happening in oneself, by oneself.

All minds need to reform oneself, and naturally/eventually, there will be less and less corrupted minds in the world contributing any kind of corruption, or ignorance and consequences of ignorance into the world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

If there is fear or aversion towards the inevitable exhausting and unpleasant side-effects that arise during the process of cleaning up, where one is reluctant to be engaging in the individual and collective cleaning up process, but then, one will have to deal with all kinds of harmful effects of the ceaseless accumulation of impurities/corruptions/'rubbish'/'messiness'/ignorance and consequences of ignorance that are detrimental to the overall welfare of oneself and others and the surrounding environment, where there won't be any suitable conducive internal and external environment, for anyone or anything to be existing and functioning as what all and everything are.

Just as, there are many minds are reluctant to cut off 'ties and connections' with some 'bullies', and rather accepting all kinds of continuous endless 'bullying behaviors' of 'the bullies', empowering 'the bully and its bullying behaviors', because the minds think and believe that they cannot be independent, and that they have to rely on the bullies for 'something that they want'.

Inquire towards neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong

Physical strength and flexibility and stamina is neither something good nor bad.

Similarly,

Mental strength and flexibility and stamina is also neither something good nor bad.

The limitation of the body and mind is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong.

All kinds of behaviors/actions/reactions being generated under certain limitation are neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong.

A person with a strong and flexible and fit physical body is not necessarily having a strong and flexible and fit mentality, and vice versa.

A person who is physically and/or mentally more strong, more flexible, and more fit than some other people doesn't mean that one is better, or wiser, or kinder, or happier than the others, and vice versa.

One can be using the existing higher degrees of physical strength, flexibility, and stamina to be doing something constructive or destructive. 

The body that is not strong enough, not flexible enough, and not fit enough to be doing certain physical activities, doesn't mean that it doesn't have the mental strength, mental flexibility, and mental fitness/stamina/endurance to be doing certain mental activities, and vice versa.

One can be using either physical and/or mental strength, flexibility, and stamina to be doing something either physical and/or mental activities that can be constructive or destructive.

Even 'constructive' and 'destructive' is also neither something good nor bad, neither right nor wrong.

One can be constructing something beneficial for all and everyone, and destroying something that is harmful unto all and everyone or one can be constructing something harmful for all and everyone, while destroying something beneficial for all and everyone.

And what is 'beneficial' or 'harmful' can be subjective and different under the many different minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance.

The very healthy, strong, flexible, and fit people and/or the highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable people might not be free from generating ideas/desires/behaviors/actions/reactions under the influence of ignorance, that would be hurtful unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment. That's why good or bad health and fitness condition as well as the degrees of intelligence, education, and knowledge, are neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. 

 

The body cannot do certain things because being limited by the existing physical limitation, is not something bad or wrong. A weak and ill physical body is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. It is what it is.

Similarly,

The mind cannot understand or do certain things because being limited by the existing mental limitation, is not something bad or wrong. A weak and ill mind is neither something good nor bad, neither something right nor wrong. It is what it is.

 

The body can be limited by weakness, stiffness, and low fitness/stamina/endurance, or injury and sickness, for certain things or many things.

Similarly,

The mind can be limited by ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, and the non-development, or under development, or suppressed development, or insignificant, or non-availability of openness, clarity, calmness, kindness, reasoning, correct understanding, patience, forbearance, tolerance, perseverance, determination, willpower, self control, self awareness, self reliance, self initiative, self inquiry, self investigation, adaptation, adjustment, accommodation, acceptance, respect, non-possessiveness, non-attachment, or the ability to let go, for a healthier mentality and better understanding that gives rise to constructive and beneficial way of thinking/desire/behavior/action/reaction that benefit itself, others, and the surrounding environment.

Under the presence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, and under the absence or insufficiency of all those essential elements, or under such condition or limitation, the mind thinks/desires/behaves/acts/reacts in the way that are selfish and unkind, or hurtful and destructive, or unpleasant and disturbing unto itself, others, and the surrounding environment.

The mind just need to have self awareness towards all that, and have self initiative of want to be free from such condition or limitation, which is absolutely possible, under one's own effort and determination to be developing and empowering all those essential elements that are either absence or insignificant in itself, as well as to be activating and engaging in the mind purification and silencing process persistently to be annihilate the veil of ignorance, of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, that would be benefiting itself and others and the surrounding environment.

 

Most minds growing up being surrounded by many other minds that are limited by certain limitation, that are unwell or peaceless, regardless of whether in the family, or in the relationship, or in the community, on in the school, or in the work place, or in anywhere and everywhere, that behave in the way that are selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive. While many of these minds are confused, where they don't have the basic understanding towards the existence of all those selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive ideas/values/beliefs/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions that are hurting oneself and others and the surrounding environment, that are hurting them, and hence, eventually they also think/believe/desire/practice/behave/act/react like all those minds that are unwell or peaceless, that are selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive, as they are also being limited by certain limitation, and don't have the understanding towards what is happening in themselves and in all the other minds.

However,

The minds don't have to be like that. There is possibility for the minds to develop the essential understanding towards all that (biologically and psychologically, and beyond the body and mind*), to transcend all that, and not being determined, or disturbed, or hurt, or influenced and conditioned by all kinds of selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive ideas/values/beliefs/practices/behaviors/actions/reactions in the family, or in the relationship, or in the community, or in the school, or in the work place, or in anywhere and everywhere. The minds don't have to become like all the other minds that are unwell and peaceless.

More importantly, the minds don't have to be continuing standing/living there not moving away from the existence of all kinds of abusive ill-treatments deriving from the minds that are unwell and peaceless. Upon physical maturity/independence, the minds can move away from all that, even if they are one's parents/siblings or family, not to say, all the other minds that are unwell and peaceless, to be having the energy and the space for looking after the physical and mental well-being of oneself.

Only after oneself attains physical/mental/emotional maturity, or be free from being determined, or disturbed, or hurt, or influenced and conditioned by all those unwell and peaceless minds and their hurtful behavior, one can go back to look after all these unwell and peaceless minds, to help these minds to be free and have peace as well, if one desires, but one doesn't have to. While one also may or may not just do one's best to help all and everyone that are unwell and peaceless to be free and have peace, unconditionally and indiscriminately, without obligation, without egoism.

*As even enthusiastic and genuine biologists and psychologists that have been studying and learning and researching towards all kinds of information/facts about the body and mind, they are not necessarily being free from the veil of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, or the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, being conditioned deeply by certain inherited and adopted worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, visions, aspirations, and practices. However, under the existing accumulated knowledge or information about biology and psychology, there is advantage for them to go further on the path of self inquiry, to attain direct self realization towards all that, and be free from the veil of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance.

All kinds of community and world leaders or representatives, all the different types of teachers, trainers, and educators, all the highly intelligent and knowledgeable scholars/scientists/biologists/psychologists/engineers, all the partners and parents that have children or are going to have children, and all kinds of highly influential talented and creative influencers that significantly impact all and everyone and everything in certain way, as well as all the different individuals and communities, if they can just put down or put aside all kinds of personal and community identities even just for a few moments, to be genuinely quieting the restless modification of the mind, and practice meditation and perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything diligently, the world will have more peace and constructive development, rather than the existence of all kinds of selfishness, possessiveness, separateness, discrimination, bullying, intimidation, oppression, invasion, exploitation, greed, hatred, violence, cruelty, and painful suffering that are truly unnecessary and evitable.

The minds that are free from the veil of ignorance can truly serve humanity and help to promote individual/community/world peace in the world of diversity that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, effectively.

 

Being disturbed and hurt by something, is neither bad or wrong. 

Being unhappy and disappointed, is neither bad or wrong.

Being upset and angry, is neither bad or wrong.

Having fear and worry, is neither bad or wrong. 

Being violent and destructive out of disturbance, hurts, being intimidated, being bullied, being threatened, being oppressed, being discriminated, unhappiness, disappointment, upset, and anger, is also neither bad or wrong.

But, it is important to have the basic understanding, or even the basic desire to understand towards what are all these mental activity that is all happening in the mind, which then manifest or turn into physical expression/activity, and have the self initiative and intense yearning of, "I want to be free from disturbance, hurts, being intimidated, being bullied, being threatened, being oppressed, being discriminated, unhappiness, disappointment, upset, anger, fear, worry, and all these suffering. I don't want to be violent and destructive unto myself, others, and the surrounding environment. But, I can't control myself for thinking, feeling, and behaving in such way. It is painful. Me and my family and my friends didn't do anything bad to other people. Why all these people keep hurting us? I want these people to stop hurting us. Life is so difficult. Living is so difficult. I wanted to stop living, but I also want to live. I want my family and my friends to live. I want to be happy. I want to have peace. I want my family and my friends to be happy and have peace. I want to understand. I want to know how to be free and have peace."

That was what this mind had went through in the past, that brought this mind onto the path of self inquiry.

It is absolutely possible to be free and have peace.

"You want to be selfish, possessive, disturbing, intimidating, threatening, violent, unkind, hurtful, and destructive, that's your freedom of being what you are. That's your own cause and effect. I don't agree with you, but I also don't need to judge you or punish you. I don't need to be determined by you being what you are. I don't have to become like you."

That is both the beginning and the end of liberation.

Liberation doesn't exist upon the mind is being undetermined by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are manifesting inside the body and mind, and in the surrounding environment.

Liberation exists when the mind is not free, being in a state of disturbance and suffering, being determined and disturbed by the selfless manifestation of all kinds of qualities of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

If the mind perceives suffering, then there is absolutely possible for the attainment of liberation.

Because the manifestation or the perception of suffering is also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Because the manifestation of suffering is the effect of a cause. And all kinds of different effects of the different causes, regardless of physical or mental, oneself or others, pleasant or unpleasant, agreeable or disagreeable, desirable or undesirable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable, are also selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

All kinds of cause and effect will pass away.

All kinds of names and forms will pass away. 

All forms of inevitable and evitable suffering will pass away, even if one doesn't make any effort to do anything about it.

The inevitable suffering that exists along under the momentary existence of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function of the mortal body and mind, that is non-self, will ceased existing upon the ceased existence of the mortal body and mind.

The evitable suffering that exists under the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence of the veil of ignorance in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, that is non-self, will also ceased existing upon the annihilation or the absence of the veil of ignorance.

It is solid fact, or science and mathematics. It is not a philosophy or unrealistic wishful thinking or fairy tales.

Even so, it is highly essential to free the mind from the veil of ignorance when the body and mind is still existing and functioning in NOW, so that the mind doesn't hurt (stops hurting) itself and others and the surrounding environment out of the disturbed, dissatisfied, discontented, violent, and suffering state of mind deriving from ignorance and its by-products during its momentary existence and function, that is impacting all and everyone and everything in certain way, regardless of significantly or insignificantly, directly or indirectly, that is absolutely unnecessary and evitable.

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 all the teachings of yoga and buddhism

All the existing teachings of yoga and buddhism, that are available under certain names and forms, regardless of authentic or contaminated, are existing for the minds to have a guidance, or a direction, or a subject to perform self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything.

There is neither right nor wrong in all kinds of authentic or contaminated teachings, where many of the teachings are contaminated by the many worldly passionate egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices.

The upmost important teaching and practice, is the engagement in the mind purification process (annihilating the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness, a.k.a. the veil of ignorance) to be preparing the mind for performing self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything, free from the influence of worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, practices, or desires, to be attaining direct self realization towards the truth of all kinds of existing teachings and practices in the world of yoga and buddhism, as well as in all kinds of existing beliefs/ideas/values/practices/desires/inspirations/aspirations in the world of passion and egoism, regardless of whether it is the truth as it is, or it is false information/incorrect understanding/misinterpretation/lies/story telling/fairy tales/myths/hypocrisy/justification/manipulation/propaganda, and etc, under a purified and calmed/quiet/focused mind, that enables the mind to see things as they are, where all and everything (true or untrue) are just what they are, neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative, which will allow the mind to be free, to be liberated from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

A calmed and quiet and focused mind (attentiveness), is also neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, neither positive nor negative, as even a calmed and quiet and focused mind might not be free from evil intention and generating harmful activity, under the undisturbed and focused state of mind.

There might still be the idea of 'I' and egoism in the modification of the mind being conditioned by certain worldly egoistic impure ideas, beliefs, values, practices, or desires, to behave, act and react, even though the mind can be in a momentary state of calmness, quietness, focus, or attentiveness.

There are many well-trained soldiers are performing their task or duty of engaging in violence fighting and killing and destruction unto many other lives and things, as well as selfish power greedy ambitious prideful politicians and world leaders, or even highly intelligent and knowledgeable ambitious scientists, could be passionately engaging in many creative ideas, propaganda, manipulation, activities, dealings, and affairs that involved all kinds of selfishness, cruelty, and violence, under intense attentiveness of a calmed and quiet and focused state of mind, directing the entire energy and attention onto one single object or issue.

Similarly, intense hatred is also a form of intense attentiveness towards the object of hatred. The mind is focusing fully unto something that it hates very much, as well as focusing unto the planning about how it can hurt and destroy the object of hatred, undisturbed by all the other things and happenings in the surrounding environment.

That's why the importance of the basic correct understanding (the seed of wisdom and kindness), right effort, right attitude, and right attentiveness.

That's why the importance of non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing, non-blind agreeing/disagreeing, non-blind glorifying, non-blind admiring, and non-blind propagating.

That's why the importance of dispassion, renunciation, solitude, seclusion, silence, Satsanga (wise company) and Asanga (aloneness/devoid of company), mental and emotional independence.

That's why the importance of "I don't know and don't understand many things, and I am confused and not sure about the truth of many things," regardless of the continuous accumulation of all kinds of knowledge and experiences, and not "I know something or many things. I am highly educated and knowledgeable. I have many experiences. I did a lot of research. Needless to lecture me about what I know and don't know."

Doubt, regardless of doubting oneself or doubting others and everything, is something highly essential in yoga and buddhism, as it activates the process of self inquiry to be inquiring towards the truth of everything, to attain direct self realization towards absolute knowledge (the truth of everything as it is), and to know Thyself, be free from blind-believing, blind-following, blind-agreeing/disagreeing, blind-practicing, blind-glorifying, blind-admiring, and blind-propagating, however, it is being seen or referred as a form of badness, or wrongfulness, or weakness, or shortcoming, or failure, or low confidence/self-esteem, or lack of faith, or disobedience and disrespectfulness towards the existence of so called 'authority/superiority' which is the by-products of ignorance, or even 'sinful and punishable', under the many worldly egoistic impure beliefs, ideas, values, desires, and practices.

Similarly, to be able to step back and let go, or to not hurt others under any circumstances, is the greatest strength in yoga and buddhism, while it is being seen or referred as weakness, or humiliation, or failure, under the many worldly egoistic beliefs, ideas, values, desires, and practices.

This 'right' in the right effort, right attitude, and right attentiveness, is nothing to do with the right and wrong in the many different worldly egoistic ways of thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, and practices, or the right and the left or the center in the worldly politics and political parties.

It's about what promote wisdom (correct understanding) that gives rise to peace in oneself and in the surrounding environment, which is the highest essential or crucial supportive element for all kinds of names and forms that are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, non-self, and momentary, to be sharing this space that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, without attachment, greed, possessiveness, separateness, or discrimination.

Just as all the different individual selfless cells/bodily structures/organs/systems/components in the selfless physical body that work together selflessly that allows the body to be existing and functioning as what it is. If each individual cell/bodily structure/organ/system/component is not selfless, but is functioning under the idea of 'I' and egoism, it will be exactly like what is going on in this world of human beings, where most minds are functioning under the idea of 'I' and egoism, and hence, the world is full of destructive hurtful activities against each other - complete man made disaster, or self destruction.

Even the most ignorant impure restless minds in the world, can also be free from ignorance.

These are the basic education for all humanity, for healthy minds, for responsible and understanding human beings, for healthy environment, for self independence, for happy parents, for happy children, for happy young people, for happy adults, for happy elders, for happy family, for happy relationships, for personal peace, for peaceful and harmonious community of diversity, for world peace. All these are inter-related to one another.

Inquire the truth of everything.

Self-righteousness that hurt and destroy all and everything out of anger, hatred, fear, and greed

It's normal and common that many minds are having the sense of pride and superiority towards their own existence, origin, background, belief, ideas, values, desires, visions, actions, and reactions, and have the sense of self-righteousness towards all and everything based on their particular way of thinking, belief, ideas, values, and desires.

Out of self-righteousness being righteous towards many things based on their own particular way of thinking, belief, ideas, values, and desires, they would hurt and destroy all and everything that they think and believe as 'bad' and 'wrong', or potentially 'hurtful' and 'destructive' unto them and what is theirs, or potential 'obstacles' obstructing them to achieve what they want to achieve, out of anger and hatred, as well as fear and defensiveness, on top of greed and possessiveness.

Out of the sense of fear and defensiveness, where they think and feel that themselves are being intimidated by the strong presence of some others, and hence, they would hurt and destroy what they think and believe is the potential intimidation that can be intimidating them, even when none and nothing is intimidating them.

Fear of being hurt or attacked by some others, one would attack and destroy the potential 'enemies' FIRST, even when the others have no intention and didn't do anything to hurt or attack anyone. 

For example, there is fear in the people towards the potential risk of could be hurt by the poisonous snakes (that have no intention to hurt anyone unless when they needed to defend themselves only if they are being disturbed, threatened, and attacked), and hence, the people want to hurt and destroy or get rid of all the poisonous snakes in the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

There is enormous greed in the minds towards possessing and hoarding land and space, food and energy resources and wealth, and endless accumulation of power and control that can gratify all their greedy desires and ambitions, and hence, they desire to invade and conquer and claim ownership towards all the land and space that they think and believe that has something or everything that they want, in order to gratify all their boundless desires, at all costs, of hurting and destroying all and everything, under the name of 'self-righteousness' and 'self-defense' reacting towards 'the existing threat upon them that is actually inflicted by their own self-righteousness, fear, and intentional annoying disturbing behavior unto the others', in order to achieve what they want to achieve.

"We are limited. We cannot be any stronger. We are not as strong as others. And so, we cannot let others to become stronger than us. We need to cause damages unto others, so that others cannot and won't become stronger than us."

There are minds deliberately generate ongoing disturbing annoying behavior unto the others that they dislike and disagree with, to provoke them to react in certain way, that would give them the righteous excuse to hurt and punish, or even destroy the others that they dislike and disagree with.

Just as certain people have fear towards poisonous snakes, and hence, they want to get rid of the poisonous snakes that are just being there as they are without any intention to hurt or intimidate anyone, and upon the poisonous snakes react under the threat of being disturbed and attacked by the people in order to be defending/protecting themselves, the people think and say, "Look. They are so bad and hurtful. They deserved to be destroyed and eliminated from the world. I am doing everyone a favor, by hurting them and getting rid of them so that they won't be able to hurt me and my family and all of you. I am doing this to defend the safety of myself and my family and all of you. Also, after we clear out all the poisonous snakes from this land, we can do whatever we want on this land and take whatever we want from this land."

The minds that have correct understanding, they respect all and everyone as they are, even if they don't agree with all and everyone. They don't possess any land or space claiming as their land or their space, because they know that all lands and space don't belong to anyone or anything. All and everyone are merely momentarily sharing this land and space with all and everything that are different from one another, that might not like or agree with one another, and that's okay. If there are some others that are non-understanding and behaving hurtfully and destructively, they would just stay away from these minds as much as possible, minimize or avoid any kind of dealing or interaction with them. Leave them alone, let them be what they are, while allowing them to be aware of their own mind and their behavior, or not.

The minds that understand, they never feel intimidated by anyone or anything, not even death, not to say, the ones that claimed to be the most powerful and influential people, or the most successful and wealthy people, and carry the highest ranking, class, title, or status in the world. They never admire or look down on anyone. They are free from superiority and inferiority. They are free from self-esteem and self-worth. They don't need to please anyone and they don't need to be pleased by anyone.

All are selfless. All are impermanent. All are limited and conditional. All will change, decay, disintegrate, and pass away, regardless of whether comfortably, gracefully, or elegantly, or not.

Reflect. Inquire. Realize.

Be free from ignorance.

Be free from self-righteousness.

Be free from fear.

Be free from greed and possessiveness. 

Be free from "I need to attack you first even before you do anything 'bad', 'wrong', 'hurtful', or 'destructive' unto me. To show you and all the others that I am strong. I can bully you, but you can't bully me. If you threaten me for bullying you, then it proves that you are bad and wrong, and you deserved to be punished for threatening me. I bully you is all out of self-defense, because I strongly think and believe that you would be bad and hurtful unto me and my family and everyone else, and so, it's totally alright and nothing wrong for me to bully you and hurt you as much as I want, so that you can't hurt me even if I am hurting you. And I want to hurt you, because I think and believe that you are bad, and you deserve punishment."

That is seriously mentally ill. Unfortunately, many minds are indeed not aware of themselves are thinking and behaving in such way. These minds are drowning in painful suffering being lost in ignorance.

"We are the good and righteous people. We need to punish and get rid of all the other bad and wrongful people in the world," and "You are bad and wrong because you don't do exactly what I want and expect you to do." That is what the self-righteous minds strongly think and believe and behave.

Such is the world of ignorance.

Ignorance is the most serious form of mental illness that cause intentional or unintentional hurtful destructive behavior unto oneself and/or others and the surrounding environment in a world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

And this ignorance exists in everywhere, where the minds are, in the family, in the relationships, in any community, or in any dealing and affair.

None can remove the ignorance in others.

It's the freedom of the minds towards whether they are aware of ignorance in themselves, or not, and whether they want to be free from ignorance, or not.

It's the freedom of all minds to behave the way that they are, and it's their own responsibility towards all their behaviors/actions/reactions and the consequences of all that.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.

The physical body is the reflection of all and everything that are selfless and impermanent and non-self, and vice versa

The truth of selflessness and impermanence and non-self is not something unreachable, or only to be found in the future at somewhere else that is seemingly very far away.

It is within all and everyone and everything, in all kinds of names and forms, in all kinds of qualities, in all kinds of ties and connections and relationships, in all kinds of conditions and situations, in all kinds of experiences and affairs, in this present moment NOW.

One doesn't need to go anywhere, or be in a specific location, position, direction, condition, environment, atmosphere, place, space, and time, to know the truth of selflessness, impermanence, and non-self.

The truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self exists in the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and modification of the mind, or in any living organism, or in any non-living object, or in any affair, or in any company, or in any business, or in any restaurant, or in any hotel, or in any Ashram, or in a car, or in a house, or in any community, or in any country, or in any government organization, or in this world of many diversities, or in the universe of many diversities, or in the sun(s), or in the planet(s), or in the star(s), or in anything that the mind can think of and perceive, including wild imaginations that are not real, but only exist in the form of thoughts/ideas.

Selflessness, impermanence, limited, conditional, and non-self, that only exists for a momentary duration, is what all and everything are, regardless of perfection or imperfection, desirable qualities or undesirable qualities, long life span or short life span, resilient or fragile, adaptable or non-adaptable, mobile or immobile, sentient or insentient, conscious or non-conscious, and etc.

Anything that exists under certain names and forms, of certain qualities, that inter-dependent on the selfless support of the selfless energy and many selfless elements to be existing and functioning as what it is, that is constantly changing, that is limited and conditional, that has a beginning of existence and an end of existence, being limited and governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

One just need to look into any of the names and forms under different qualities, to reflect/contemplate upon the truth, under a calm and quiet mind, devoid of the influence of any particular passionate egoistic ideas, imaginations, thinking, reasoning, understanding, beliefs, values, desires, or practices, and one will see the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, in all and everything, where all and everything are existing and functioning selflessly and impermanently inter-dependent on all and everything of many different elements/systems/components/structures to work together, as well as each and everyone need to be minding themselves performing their own individual function/duty/responsibility, without superiority or inferiority, under the selfless support of the selfless energy and elements, for all and everything to be happening, to be what they are, as they are, to be existing, changing, decaying, disintegrating, and ceased existing.

A super healthy and fit physical body with super efficient organs of the senses to perceive all kinds of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, thoughts, feelings, and emotions, efficiently and precisely, functioning under a high degree of super intelligence and vast accumulated knowledge, having extraordinary speed of learning and power of memory, extraordinary talents and skills, and accumulated many different types of experiences and qualifications and achievements in life, also doesn't necessarily mean that the mind is free from ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, and the by-products of all that, of all kinds of suffering and disturbing hurtful thinking, ideas, desires, visions, inspirations, aspirations, and behaviors/actions/reactions.

That's the power of ignorance, but at the same time, even though it is not easy, but it is absolutely possible to be free from ignorance, as the truth of what all and everything are, is always here, unlimited, unchanging, and timeless, while ignorance that hinders the mind to know the truth, is something impermanent, limited, and conditional.

Just as the many highly intelligent and knowledgeable academic scholars are not necessarily be free from the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, and being determined and disturbed by all kinds of inevitable and evitable physical, mental, and emotional suffering, perceiving/experiencing all kinds of disturbs, hurts, dissatisfaction, disappointment, painful sorrow, grief, the sense of self-esteem and self-worth, pride and shame, superiority and inferiority, guilt and regret, anger, hatred, jealousy, fear, separateness, discrimination, loneliness, meaninglessness, fatigue, burnout, insecurity, and etc, while unwittingly identifying with all these names and forms as 'I', or 'This is who/what/how I am,' even when they already have all kinds of knowledge or information about biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology, or the scientific knowledge of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self in all the living organisms and non-living objects, and in many other things in this world and beyond, unless they (the selfless thinking and acting faculty) know how to free themselves from the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', and egoism of attachment, identification, craving, aversion, comparison, judgment, and expectation, not being the slave of all that, not being determined or over-powered by all kinds of impurities and restlessness that come along with the idea of 'I' and egoism in the restless selfless impermanent modification of the mind, where all that has been conditioning the mind thinking and behavior pattern, influencing their way of thinking, reasoning, understanding, feelings, desires, inspirations, aspirations, behaviors, actions, and reactions.

It definitely requires a lot of patience, perseverance, determination, adaptation, accommodation, adjustment, acceptance, and intense yearning towards absolute knowledge, liberation, freedom, and peace, for engaging in the process of purifying/modifying/changing the mind thinking and behavior pattern.

It is normal and common that there are different kinds of struggles and obstacles, and it requires great effort and continuous effort, especially in the beginning stage of the mind purification process, or the process of changing/modifying the mind thinking and behavior pattern.

As long as the mind keeps practicing, without attachment/identification/craving/aversion/comparison/judgment/expectation, the effort/practice/action of purifying/modifying/changing the mind thinking and behavior pattern will become less and less struggling, and eventually, it will become effortless (the end of the practice), upon the mind attains correct understanding deriving from the direct self-realization towards the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self.

The correct understanding, or the knowledge of Thyself, enables the selfless thinking and acting mind to transcend all that, to be undetermined and undisturbed by all that, to be resting in unconditional peace upon the selfless universal consciousness, beyond the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of the body and mind, or the impermanent condition/abilities/disabilities/limitation of the physical body, and the impermanent states of the mind. 

Knowing the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the physical body doesn't necessarily means that the mind is knowing Thyself, of knowing what is the 'I' that the mind thinks and believes and identifies as 'I'. It doesn't necessarily mean that the mind is free from the idea of 'I' and egoism and impurities, not being the slave of the limited and conditional impure mind stuff, not being over-powered, determined, or disturbed by the ungratified desires of the presence of undesirable/unpleasant/disagreeable/non-enjoyable experiences, and the absence of desirable/pleasant/agreeable/enjoyable experiences, perceiving all kinds of physical/mental/emotional suffering.

The minds need to attain direct self-realization towards selflessness and impermanence and non-self, by purifying and quieting the restless modification of the mind, through the annihilation of the idea of 'I' and egoism, and all kinds of impurities that come along with the idea of 'I' and egoism, under the presence of non-violence, non-grasping, non-association, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-comparison, non-judgment, and non-expectation, as well as under the presence of right attitude, right attentiveness, and right effort, all by the mind itself.

Even the passionate enthusiastic yoga practitioners who have been genuinely performing regular persistent Asana and Pranayama practice, concentration and meditation practice, cleansing exercises, chanting and prayers, community services, and observing Yamas and Niyamas (Restraints and observations) as well as pure vegetarian diet, for a prolonged duration, and have been enjoying the many health and fitness benefits deriving from the different types of yoga practices and observations, are not necessarily be free from doubt, hurts, painful sorrow, and disturbs, or be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, if they don't or haven't work on the elimination of the idea of 'I', egoism, passion, inspiration, aspiration, and all kinds of corrupted thinking, ideas, belief, values, and practices, being determined by all kinds of impurities.

Just as there are many people engaging in the many different types of competitive sports activities and fitness training that demand high degrees of self discipline, attentiveness, dietary control, physical and mental activity restriction and observation, perseverance, determination, great enthusiasm, and immovable dedication, to be engaging in many hours of persevered repetitive practice and skill training everyday for many years, are not necessarily be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance.

But then, 

Anyone, regardless of whether performing or not performing some kind of regular yoga and meditation practices, regardless of the physical condition/abilities/disabilities/limitation or the mental condition/abilities/disabilities/limitation, and even the most corrupted violent impure restless minds, as long as they have the intense yearning towards knowledge (correct understanding), liberation, freedom, and peace, all minds can be free from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, if they work diligently and persistently on eliminating the idea of 'I', egoism, passion, inspiration, aspiration, and all kinds of mental and emotional impurities, and restlessness, to be purifying/modifying/changing the the corrupted thinking and behavior pattern, to be quieting the restless thought current/activities/modification of the mind, via the middle path and non-violence, through the essential observation of dispassion, renunciation, solitude, seclusion, and silence, out of one's own conscious awareness/freewill/choice/desire/effort/action.

It is ridiculous that there are more and more unnecessary evitable mental suffering/disturbance/illness being impacted by the existence of ongoing and increasing corruption, violence, cruelty, exploitation, greed, hatred, selfishness, possessiveness, discrimination, separateness, authoritarianism, pride and arrogance, politics, oppression, power and control, bullying, intimidation, invasion, intrusion, fighting, and wars, that contribute to many unnecessary evitable hurtful destructive behavior problems under the influence of ignorance, when science and technology is getting more and more advance, when there are more and more human beings are getting better and higher quality of living, luxurious indulgence, enjoyments of the senses, physical and mental entertainments, advanced medical health care, and all kinds of conveniences, when there are more and more countries are getting higher and higher development, when there are more and more amazing architecture and engineering arising in the world, when there are more and more people are getting basic education and higher education, and easier access towards attaining various knowledge or information, and when there are endless high-tech inventions under the higher and higher advanced science and technology.

It only indicates that the eradication of ignorance and the liberation from suffering, or the existence of personal peace and world peace, is nothing to do with the availability or non-availability of all those higher quality of living, luxurious indulgence, enjoyments of the senses, physical and mental entertainments, advanced medical health care, conveniences, developments, educations, accumulated knowledge, achievements, talents and skills, various information, amazing architecture and engineering, and high-tech inventions deriving from the higher advanced science and technology.

All that didn't and doesn't eradicate ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, restlessness, and the consequences of all that - the existence of all kinds of unnecessary evitable ignorance inflicted suffering in this world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

All kinds of names and forms that all and everyone would like to have or enjoy, such as prosperity, illness free, pain free, suffering free, aging free, long life span, happy family and relationship, success in career or business, health, fitness, beauty, worldly knowledge, wealth, power, superior status and title and social class, and all kinds of possessions, achievements, and enjoyments are nothing, if the minds are not free from the influence of ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, because there is no peace in oneself, there is no peace in the surrounding living environment, and there is no peace in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, where the minds keep hurting themselves and others and the surrounding environment, out of ignorance.

Inquire the truth of everything.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That is liberation.

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.

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.

It has to come from the mind itself to let go and be free

If all minds can let go all kinds of attachment, identification, desire, possessiveness, or the past, there will be peace in the world.

It's not about eliminating ignorance, egoism, impurities, selfishness, greed, fear, anger, hatred, resentment, vengeance, or violence in the world. It's impossible.

Peace in the world is the reflection of peace in the minds.

It has to come from each and every mind themselves, to let go and be free from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness, and have peace.

None can tell or advise another mind to let go and be free.

It has to come from the mind itself to let go and be free from all kinds of attachment, identification, desire, possessiveness, or the past.

All kinds of fear, anger, hatred, resentment, vengeance, or violence don't exist in the mind that doesn't hold onto any attachment, identification, desire, possessiveness, or the past.

Whatever happened and is happening in the world, especially under the era of higher and higher advance science and technology, it only indicates how much unnecessary destruction and suffering that the human minds can generate into the world under the influence of the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities and restlessness.

Inquire the truth of everything, and have peace in oneself, regardless of all kinds of madness in the world of ignorance and egoism.

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.

How to promote peace and harmony in the world of diversity?

This is a very simple, and yet, highly complicated subject.

It's possible, but yet, it's a highly difficult task.

It's simple, because the root cause of unrest and disharmony in the world is ignorance and egoism. If the minds are free from ignorance and egoism, there will be minimum unrest and disharmony but more peace and harmony in the world of diversity. And, it's possible for the minds to be free from ignorance and egoism.

It's highly complicated as well as extremely difficult, because most minds are deep rooted in ignorance and egoism, and it has to come from the minds themselves to be aware of ignorance and egoism, and be initiated to free themselves from ignorance and egoism, particularly those who have the influencing power and authorization towards decisions making in the world of authorities or leaderships, as well as those who are bringing up and educating the younger generations who are the future members of the society/influencers/educators/leaders that are influencing and determining everyone's thinking, behavior, actions and reactions, that are impacting the condition and situation and everyone's existence and life in the world that doesn't belong to anyone at all.

And hence, it's not that easy to promote peace and harmony in the world of diversity, unless majority of the minds, including those who think they are highly educated, intelligent, knowledgeable, successful, ambitious and influential, especially those who have the opportunity and influencing power to be impacting the general condition and situation of the world in certain way, start to be aware of the ignorance and egoism in themselves, where most minds are naturally being over-powered by survival instinct, on top of the stubborn egoism of attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, judgment and expectation, that give rise to many elements that feed and empower unrest and disharmony in the world of diversity, such as possessiveness, ownership, invasion, occupation, sense of belonging, grouping, politics, patriotism, nationalism, pride, heroism, self-righteousness, selfishness, greed, hoarding, fear, protectiveness, defensiveness, closed-mindedness, corruption, stinginess, exploitation, desperation, discrimination, separateness, prejudice, hatred, control, interference, oppression, outcast, offensiveness, violence and war.

All these products of ignorance and egoism exist in most minds, including the minds that think and believe that they are good, righteous and generous human beings who love goodness, prosperity, love, peace and harmony for 'all', but only within their own group that they identified as 'them' or 'theirs', that they 'love', 'protect', 'agree with' and 'share with', a community that is based on their particular common background, names and forms, belief, values, practice, vision and desire, where they think and believe that they need to protect 'themselves' and 'theirs' from 'the others' that are not 'them' or 'one of them', that they feel intimidated, dislike, disagree with and don't want to share with.

The wise, compassionate, desireless, intentionless and selfless minds, of the many enlightened buddhas and gurus, also cannot remove the ignorance and egoism as well as the consequences of ignorance and egoism in the world. They only disseminate the teachings and practice of how to free one's mind from ignorance and egoism into the world, and let everyone whether to be aware of the ignorance and egoism in themselves, and be initiated to be free from ignorance and egoism through their own self-effort, self-discipline, self-inquiry and self-realization.

The many minds that have good intention and aspiration of hoping to change the world to be a better place, not that there's anything wrong or bad with such intention and aspiration, however, it indicates that they are also under the influence of ignorance and egoism, or else, there won't be any intention or aspiration of hoping to 'change' the world, as that idea/desire/intention/aspiration is also part of the egoism deriving from ignorance, that is the reason why the world is what it is now, which is and will be more and more unrest and disharmony.

The protective self-righteous minds under passionate egoistic attachment and personal/group identification towards certain qualities of names and forms will react with anger, hatred, resentment and violence towards something that they perceived as 'bad', 'wrong', 'humiliation', 'disrespectfulness', 'belittling', 'offensiveness', 'hurtful', 'undeserving', 'going against their desire', or 'disagreeable in accordance to their thinking, belief, values and practice'. The selfless minds are aware of the many unpleasant and disagreeable actions/reactions and their consequences in the world of countless minds ceaselessly acting/reacting under the influence of ignorance and egoism, but without being disturbed or determined by all these ignorant egoistic behavior, affair, condition and situation. Reaction of anger, hatred, resentment and violence will not help to promote peace and harmony in oneself and/or the world, but only contributing more unrest and disharmony in oneself and into the world.

Unless, all minds start to let go of the idea/desire/intention/aspiration of "We want our world to be and not to be in certain way." Then the world will be what it is, in peace and harmony, having all kind of diversities, of many different colours, names, forms and shapes, sharing the space without possessiveness, when nobody desire the world to be only in certain colour(s) that they personally like and prefer, 'interfering'/'influencing'/'changing'/'making'/'controlling' the world to be in certain way that they like and desire and not to be in certain way that they don't like and don't desire, but allowing the world to be what it is.

The world will be what it is, in peace and harmony, when nobody try to spread 'self-righteousness', 'fear', 'possessiveness', 'protectiveness', 'separateness', 'discrimination' and 'hatred' into the world in order to harvest power by over-powering the others, in order to achieve their particular desire/aspiration/vision of making the world that doesn't belong to anyone to become 'their world the way that they desire'.

The world is so 'quiet' and peaceful, as it is, free from unnecessary egoistic actions and reactions, unrest, chaos, conflict, discrimination, prejudice, lies, manipulation, plotting, scheming, scamming, slandering, politics, corruption, greed, desire, ambition, invasion, interference, fear, separateness, jealousy, hurt, hatred and violence generated by passionate ambitious minds under the influence of ignorance and egoism, when all minds are either absent/have gone to sleep/resting in silence/void of ignorance and egoism.
