We Must Come Out From The Shadows,
The Illusions, Into The World
Man has the mind of shadows,
and he lives in a shadow of the world.
Man thinks he is living in the world,
but he is not, because he takes pictures of the world
and on the stage of that mind of pictures,
he lives according to what is scripted in this mind,
as a slave to it.
Since he lives with this mind,
he is just an extra in a tragic play on that stage.
In this mind, there are all sorts of things:
there is this and that, judgment and discrimination,
aging, sickness, life and death,
the five desires and seven sins;
there is coming and going, cold and hot,
high and low, the great and the inferior.
It is a particularly difficult life,
because he is staging his opera on a fake stage.
Man thinks that he lives in the world because he is great,
but the world comes first, and he should be ashamed
for stealing everything in the world after being born in that world.
He should have just lived, as he was made and placed in the world-
what need was there to steal what belongs to the world
to make his own picture world?
This has only ever increased man's suffering and burden
and stopped him from living with freedom.
Your stage is not real but fake and a picture.
If you think about the fact that you are living in a picture,
isn't it clear that it is terrible and without life;
that it is illusionary?
If you escape from the illusionary stage,
and come out and live in the world of Truth,
you will have no worries,
and you will have the freedom of freedoms.
Such a life sets everyone and everything in the world free.
All human thoughts are pictures and illusions,
and they are all useless.
They are all futile delusions,
and even the fact that you are living is a delusion,
so you must come out from your mind world,
in order for you to live.
