○Consciousness [7]

In a state of no-mind, there is no contemplation of meaning. Consequently, the concept of the meaning of life disappears. Contemplating the meaning of life belongs to thought and ego.

Life has no inherent meaning, and there are no must-dos in life.

There is no exploration in a state without thought. It is the end of life's exploration. The end of life and death. The end of humanity.

There is neither good nor bad in life. It is thought that determines such distinctions. Thought arises from past memories and fixed notions.

Live as consciousness, not as ego.

Even when one becomes desireless, there can still be encounters with new people and actions such as creating something. These occur as intuitive responses.

Maintaining no-mind leads to a calmness of the heart, speech, and actions. It also brings about a sense of composure in one's character. Consequently, everyday problems decrease.

When there is a calm person, those around them also become calm. When talking to a calm person, even an angry person becomes calm. Calmness steers things toward resolution. Responding to anger with anger only escalates the situation and leads to a breakdown. Calmness is devoid of anxiety, impatience, and anger as thoughts; it is a state of conscious existence. In other words, a harmonious consciousness takes precedence, and the ego aligns with it.

In a state of consciousness, there are no thoughts, no distinctions. Hence, there is no gender, no problems, no conflicts, no separation, no strife. Furthermore, there is no need for comprehension. When something happens, it simply happens. This is not indifference but a state of observation.

Being in a state of no-mind contributes to world peace. Conflicts arise when one is swayed by the ego. No-mind is peace, and the ego is conflict.

When we spend more time in a state of no-mind, we lose interest in the competition of winning and losing. Feeling triumphant when winning and feeling regret and misery when losing are part of our ego.
