L'esprit n'a pas besoin d'être très intelligent pour accumuler et mémoriser des connaissances ou des informations sur telle ou telle chose. Le fait d'être très intelligent ne signifie pas nécessairement que l'esprit est sage, dépourvu d'ignorance, ou qu'il est paisible, dépourvu de souffrance. Le fait d'être plus intelligent que les autres esprits ne signifie pas nécessairement que l'esprit doit être plus savant que les autres esprits qui sont moins intelligents que lui, et vice versa. Bien que l'esprit puisse être très intelligent, il peut aussi avoir accumulé et mémorisé de vastes connaissances ou informations sur telle ou telle chose. La quantité de connaissances accumulées dans l'esprit ainsi que les différents degrés d'intelligence ne déterminent pas si l'esprit est sage/dépourvu d'ignorance ou non, ou si l'esprit est paisible/dépourvu de souffrance ou non. L'esprit qui fonctionne sous l'influence de l'ignoran...

Par sa propre conscience, sa raison et son libre arbitre, l'esprit est intéressé par l'apprentissage et la pratique du yoga et de la méditation, et il est déterminé à libérer la modification de l'esprit de l'influence de l'ignorance, de l'idée du " je ", de l'égoïsme, des impuretés et de l'agitation, par l'initiative de vouloir cesser de blesser ce corps et cet esprit ainsi que de cesser de blesser tout et n'importe quoi par l'ignorance et les sous-produits de l'ignorance. Sous l'influence de l'ignorance, de l'idée du " je " (l'ego), de l'égoïsme, des impuretés et de l'agitation, l'esprit pensant et agissant qui fonctionne sous l'influence de l'idée du " je " ne cesse de blesser le corps et l'esprit avec les actions et réactions incessantes générées sous l'influence des désirs de l'envie et de l'aversion envers goûts ou dégoûts, souhaitable ou indésirable, e...

Lorsque l'esprit est accablé par le martèlement continu de l'insatisfaction, de la déception, de la frustration, de l'irritation, de la colère, du chagrin, de la peine ou de la blessure, il est normal qu'il soit dans un état de grande déception et de désespoir, où il est perdu, ne sait plus quoi faire de lui-même et de l'existence, où il ne se préoccupe pas de son propre bien-être, sans parler du bien-être des autres, où la vie ou la poursuite de la vie semble n'avoir aucun sens quoi qu'il arrive, où il se trouve dans un état d'épuisement ou de burn-out face à certains prolongés défis, difficiles, décevants, dérangeants, blessants, douloureux, désagréables, indésirables et désagréables dans sa vie personnelle, et/ou dans le monde. Lorsque cela se produit, l'esprit doit prendre l'initiative de vouloir se libérer de cet état et avoir la capacité fondamentale de s'aider lui-même, en se rappelant que tout cela est impermanent. Ils finiront par di...

The genuine yogi/buddhist, or the adept yoga/buddhism practitioner, or the selfless impermanent mind that has intense yearning towards liberation, inquires towards the truth of everything under a calm, quiet, purified, and open mind, including all the teachings of yoga as mentioned in the Scriptures or the Yoga/Buddhism Sutras, being commentated or interpreted by anyone, of many different Gurus or teachers under different lineages from different timings, without blind-believing, blind-following, blind-agreeing, blind-worshiping, blind-practicing, or blind-propagating. To inquire towards the all-pervading selfless universal consciousness as mentioned in the teachings of yoga, the mind can inquire towards the selfless impermanent limited existence of the limited conditional physical body with the perceptive thinking mind, that cannot exist or function independently by itself, where it needs to depend on many different selfless elements and selfless energy to be supporting its selfless im...

Liberation, or freedom, is all in the mind. The limited conditional physical body is inevitably not free, being limited and restricted by time (impermanent changes), space (can only be at one place at a time), and causation (cause and effect). That cannot be modified. It is what it is. The mind also 'can appear to be' not free, being limited and restricted by ignorance, egoism and impurities, as well as being conditioned and limited by certain worldly egoistic conditional thinking, belief/disbelief, ideas, values, and practice, and hence, it is being limited by time (impermanent changes of restless thoughts activities), space (the mind perception of a selfless impermanent worldly life existence under a limited physical body is limited by space, on top of being determined by past memories and future wild imaginations), and causation (cause and effect, being supported and influenced by energy to be existing and functioning), however, all that can be transcended, where the thinkin...

Self-inquiry is about inquiring or investigating towards what is the 'I' that 'the thinking' in the mind that thinks and believes as the 'existence' of a permanent independent non-decaying unchanging immortal infinite 'I' or self/individual/being/entity/identity that 'exists' in this physical body and mind, that has been under going ceaseless rounds and rounds of 'reincarnation', or 'rebirth', or 'transitioning' in countless different mortal impermanent names and forms that are subject to decay, changes, and disintegration, or 'death', that inevitably leads to another 'birth', endlessly and restlessly. It's about inquiring or investigating towards what the thinking mind is about, or what is the selfless impermanent function or the restless modification of the perceptive, cognitive, assertive, intellectual, emotional, reasoning, understanding, remembering, learning, experimenting, knowing, thinking, desi...

If all kinds of random impure egoistic thought activities in all the minds in this world are being exposed as they are, one will see that there's very little or even no truthfulness in all kinds of worldly ties and connections, social relationships and interactions, worldly affairs, dealings, and activities, except in silence, devoid of selfless restless modification of the mind, or when the mind is free from the idea of 'I', ignorance, egoism, impurities, and restlessness. Truthfulness is just what it is. Neither good nor bad. Neither hurtful nor non-hurtful. Similarly, what is going on in the mind, of all kinds of random impure restless thought activities/desires/actions/reactions/feelings/emotions/ideas/impurities/wild imaginations/subjective partial incomplete distorted memories of the past, is also neither good nor bad, neither hurtful nor non-hurtful. However, truthfulness appears to be something hurtful, disturbing, unpleasant, inappropriate, or something contributes...

The stamina that matters in the path of yoga, is not about the physical stamina, but it's about the presence of the intense yearning for liberation, the perseverance, the determination, the patience, and the acceptance, as well as adopting the middle path and respecting the nature's law of cause and effect, or the selfless impermanent changes, that enabling the mind to be keep practicing until the annihilation of ignorance, or the direct realization towards the truth of selflessness and impermanence takes place, without egoistic attachment, identification, desire of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, transcending all kinds of unpleasant, disagreeable, undesirable, challenging, or difficult conditions, situations, obstacles, affairs, ties and relationships, interactions, experiences, or duties and responsibilities, not being determined or disturbed by all kinds of experiences, or the fruit of actions.
