The
brain sometimes cannot get the full message from the soul because the brain is
like a filter. Sometimes the filter is not very effective, and all the orders
from the soul become distorted so we do things wrong, we do things not in the
right way. That's why we're frustrated with each other because we cannot be like
one. Without the body, without the mind, we understand each other perfectly. We
don't need to speak at all. All the problems in this world come from the body
and the mind, the brain. Your intuition knows what to do, but your brain interferes
because of the habits, because of the experience you learned from the past. Like,
OK, if I do that, I'll have trouble. But this time it's different! It just looks
similar, but it's not. And your mind thinks, "No, last time I did that, I had
trouble. This time, I'd better not do it again." So, there's a lot of interference
from the brain, and it makes us very frustrated. And the husband and wife don't
get along well, friends fall out with each other, and the workers and boss cannot
understand each other. All that is because of the brain, the filter: It doesn't
translate our messages correctly. But the One, the real One, the true One, our
Self, the Buddha, is always correct. That's why we have to go back to the source
anytime. Anytime you have a problem, try to meditate a little while on it and
then you'll feel better. You'll know the answer. |
