How to stay sane in challenging situations
Despite all the craziness going on in the world, this is a fantastic time to recover the original minds and live an unshakable happy life.
A metaphor: If we have a whiteboard,
we can draw beautiful things or something ugly on it.
Whether we draw beautiful or ugly things,
the whiteboard has no concept of beauty or ugliness;
it doesn't have a mind that clings to this or that.
Instead, the whiteboard remains unaffected
and at peace no matter what is drawn on it.
People, on the other hand, hold frames of good vs. bad
and attribute meaning to such concepts
and try to seek the good and avoid the bad.
When we consider something as beautiful or desirable,
we like it and strive to get it.
When we consider something as ugly or undesirable,
we detest it and try to avoid it.
However hard we try, things will always happen
that go against our ideas of good vs. bad.
That's just how life is.
The world will never fit our minds.
If we continue to let our frames dictate
how we should feel about every situation,
we will constantly be tossed around.
It will make us go insane,
particularly in situations
where a lot of perceivably bad things happen.
From an objective standpoint,
there are no such things as good or bad,
for the good and bad are just human concepts acquired through life.
If we were to break the frames of these concepts,
break our mind,
we gradually return to the original mind
which is free of thoughts, and concepts.
The original state of mind is like the whiteboard
that remains unaffected and at peace
no matter what comes and goes.
From the empty mind,
Intuition, wisdom, and action unite
and what we can call nature's flow.
Hence, instead of following human concepts and thoughts,
we will follow nature's flow.
In this flow, we can easily adapt and live
even in situations that are challenging to us.
Our mind becomes flexible
and all-encompassing and hardship cease to exist.
Despite all the craziness going on in the world,
this is a fantastic time to recover our original minds
and live an unshakable happy life.
