○Consciousness [10]

     People who maintain a state of no-mind and have inner peace do not gossip or speak ill of others, do not retaliate when criticized or attacked, but silently endure, or don't care and watch as it passes.

    When the inner self becomes peaceful, those who interact with that person also feel secure and peaceful. Inner peace is a state free from thoughts that generate desires and separations.

    There is freedom when we exist as consciousness, and there is constraint when we exist as mind.

    If you think, "I find this person difficult," it is conveyed to the other person through the atmosphere. The feeling of discomfort or hostility towards someone is a thought that comes from past memories. These thoughts appear as subsequent words and actions. While there's no need to like everyone, not making them feel uncomfortable by being in a state of no-mind is key to not deteriorating relationships.

    In life, when faced with a situation that cannot be resolved by thinking, positively give up, relax, and let go to a state of no-mind, leaving it to fate. Then, the obstructive thoughts disappear, creating a gap for intuition to enter, and solutions or the path to follow become visible.

    When you leave it to consciousness and follow your intuition, even if the difficult problem in front of you cannot be fully resolved, it can serve as an opening move and may be improved at another timing.

    By living while leaving things to fate rather than deliberately doing something and moving, you experience that the timing of things aligns and things flow smoothly. As you get used to it, you stop panicking when you're in trouble.

    As no-mind becomes habitual, you stop perceiving difficulties as hardships when you encounter them.

    When various events occur and things become complicated, and you feel overwhelmed by emotions, do nothing and be quiet. Soon the next step will naturally come into sight.
