Everyone tends to stir what you are just thinking around after recognizing and admitting.
Sometimes such thoughts as “ that person is very troublesome”, “he is so selfish” and so on simply pop out.
The actual contents of the thoughts have no use, while the function itself of ‘thinking naturally ‘ is the key.
In the reality-nature itself, there is originally no such a fact as ‘a troublesome person’ or ‘a selfish individual’.
There is no such a person originally as a good or bad person.
It is only the matter of your recognition towards it and has nothing to do with the person himself you would criticise about.
You had better just let go and not deal with every single thought which may pop out. All ‘thoughts’ never remain forever.
You will never see what the reality-nature really is, as long as you keep admitting what you have just thought of and holding your concepts and values in them as if they are the realities.
Are you just responding with what you are touching and experiencing?
Or are you reacting with the way of your thinking?
The science shows that we human-beings in general averagely have 60,000 pieces of thinking per day.
What you do not realise is that the majority of the pieces of your thinking in a day is completely not recognized by yourself.
That’s exactly what I and Kuhachi mention about ‘leaving things as they are’, ‘putting away’, ‘ do not deal with anything’.
You are all being able to do it. That is the reason why you can lead your life with no actual problem after all..
Imagine you recognize and admit every single thought popping out every moment.
You can never live like that !
This applies for every thought or feeling.
Even if you get irritated, you can live as you are leaving it as it is without clinging on to it.
There is no superior or inferior in whatever thought you may have. No such a thing as good or bad, positive or negative thought. There is no division originally.
That is why, the functioning itself of ‘thinking’ has no influence on you otiginally.
It is only a natural function which pops out with original dependent arising.
It is not a function which you are making and creating by yourself. It is not YOU which is thinking.
It is a mystery without no one knowing how it happens. It never remains anywhere without stopping any moment.
If you can not shake off your thought of which your thoughts never go away, it is only because you are holding on to it.
You have no problem originally with the functioning of thinking. Thus you can never have any problem no matter what happens to you any time.
If you are the reality-nature itself without going right or left after every single thinking or feeling, you can never cling on with any thing.
The reality-nature itself is always so clear and pure and simple.
