Education in human society is only temporary. If you don’t
keep studying, what you put in your memory will soon be forgotten. Meditation is the real education because the
truth we come to understand is eternal. To practice we do nothing, and by doing
nothing the peace comes naturally, the freedom comes naturally. By knowing
nothing, wisdom appears naturally, never to disappear again. Because it came
from nature automatically, it is permanent.
By meditating, wisdom will appear more and more fully,
[always increasing]. If you read a book written about 4 noble truths or if you
listen to my teachings, you will understand only while you are listening. After
some time, your understanding will disappear; it is impermanent. If you
meditate, the understanding through wisdom that appears in you does not depend
on me or on you - it doesn’t depend on what is impermanent so it doesn’t
disappear.
This wisdom will begin to appear
only when you can abandon your effort – in other words, your ego. Doing without effort is doing
without ‘I’, which means accepting and surrendering to nature. We are breaking the
limitation of 'I' by staying simply with the emptiness of nature. On the other
hand, doing with ‘I’ is going against nature – it is breaking the natural law
of emptiness of self. So, by taking ourselves to be ‘I’, we are breaking the
natural law and we suffer because of it. We lose our freedom and take on the
endless responsibilities of a man. A man has everything to like, dislike, worry
and think about. The idea of a man is
only a creation of mind (not an eternal God), everything mind creates is only
an illusion. So meditation is destroying the false creations of mind, destroying
the limitations caused by accepting the mind as ‘mine’. In reality, there is no mine in mind, knowing this is wisdom.
The wisdom, which understands there is
no I ,will appear in whoever follows this method exactly. It’s only cause and
effect, if you make the right cause, the desired effect will surely appear, it
can't go wrong. If there is no effect, you are making the wrong cause; which
means you are not following the method exactly.
It has nothing to do with who you are, how old you are, or which religion you
believe in. The appearance of wisdom
will be the benefit for whoever makes the right cause.
I made many causes
to change my life and that’s why my life changed forever. If you are in doubt
you are making the wrong cause, if you are hoping for the result you are making
the wrong cause. Thinking and being interested are also the wrong causes - which
result in suffering instead of wisdom. [Ironically] the only right cause is
trying to make no other cause than to do and know nothing. This means, not accepting
anything that appears, which is the result of the wrong causes we have made
previously. So, practically, we must accept ourselves
as nothing (empty of ‘I’) and [let] our mind rest in the moment, moment after moment
after moment. This is stopping the mind’s work, or, protecting the mind to be
free of action/doing. In this way, our mind can live without making the wrong
causes of thinking, hoping for the future, revisiting the past, and being busy
in present. Mind will become mind only.
“If
you accept knowing something [it is making the wrong cause]; the effect will be
something to know will appear endlessly. And along with it, there will be a person
[‘I’] who misunderstands that something to exist. In this way, ‘I’ will always
be suffering, always being busy with the non-stop [appearance of] endless things
to do and thing to know. On the other hand, knowing of nothing is removing the cause
of all suffering, because for nothing there is nothing to do or know, it is
complete in itself.
Not accepting anything is the cause we have to
make, and as a result, the wisdom of emptiness will appear. The appearing of
this wisdom is the cause of freedom, the cause of purity of mind, of a peace of
mind that can never be imagined by the ego – or ‘I’. The liberation we get by meditating depends on nothing that’s why it is
permanent, because nothing can
only be nothing. That is why the happiness, freedom, and liberation we get from
knowing nothing is permanent. We have nothing to take care of; nothing to do to
protect our peace of mind.
“With [the
misunderstanding of] 'I', there are endless to do, endless things to think
about, to be seen and heard. Because of this misunderstanding, we are always
busy; busy with nonsense. Because of non-enlightenment, people will never get
freedom, they will always be busy misunderstanding 'I' to be real. So we must practice meditation with the idea
of nothing … because freedom appears
when knowing nothing is happening.
