All spiritual practice isn't meant to make you erudite, but to make you a blank page, so that everything can be reflected on that page.

If you become a blank page and maintain that emptiness, you can write your life on that page.

If unavoidable, go change the quality of the relationship

Every living being in this world, no matter how small or huge, maintains a relationship with creation and the source of creation. If a relationship is unavoidable, how to handle it? You just need to change the quality of that relationship.

You can sit here, curse this earth, or you can sit here bless this earth, because it gives you a space to sit.

The way you handle relationships will make a big difference. It's important to change those relationships.

If the relationship is merely material, you'll learn something.

If the relationship is spiritual, you'll learn something else.

If the relationship is emotional, you'll learn something different.

But you still don't understand the nature of that relationship. Do you know that from birth, your body has changed a lot and is still changing?

Similarly, your brain and emotions are changing, and this change will continue. Even if you think you've 'frozen' it, it's still changing.

Spiritual practice: Change your relationship with existence

The entire spiritual process is like this—change your relationship with existence, transform the relationship from material, mental, and emotional levels into a deeper, more subtle state with existence

All enlightenment comes this way

It's like: A nobody can be erudite, a fool can understand things, but a sage is a blank page. Because a sage is a blank page, anything can be enlightened. If you've already written something on a blank paper, whatever you write will be mixed up and lost.

A blank paper with something already written on it, no matter what you write, no matter how precious what you write is, it will be messed up.

That's why in this country, people look at you and say,

This is karma.Become a blank page, write your life on it

All spiritual practice isn't meant to make you erudite, but to make you a blank page, so that everything can be reflected on that page.

If you become a blank page and maintain that emptiness, you can write your life on that page.

If you've gone to the cinema, you know that the screen has shown countless movies, but this screen will not distort anything, because light is a very subtle thing. If people have used wax or paintbrushes on this screen, those screens would have been abandoned long ago.

So, it's important to change your relationship with existence from material, mental, and emotional levels into a deeper, more subtle state—that's where you can play any plot at will.

When the performance stops, it stops, it won't leave any trace. If the movies played before are still lingering on the screen, the next movie will be ruined. That's what's happening now. The impressions left by the movies played before are lingering on you.

Create love, not war

Do you want to hear a joke?

Sarah Kaler went to Washington and toured. You know, for many couples, especially when you're traveling, you will have many arguments when you admire the scenery, because the suppressed desires of the wife will be expressed at that time. The wife is holding back her desires. The husband is looking at her new face. The couple is walking on the street, and those long-haired people are protesting the Iraq War.

This country always has war, and there's a slogan everywhere: 'Create love, not war.' Sarah Kaler walked over and looked at the slogan and said, 'Once you're married, you can do both.'

Don't make too much of yourself

You just need to change your relationship with existence, your relationship with the creator.

How to change? You need to understand that this relationship isn't created by you. No matter what way you go, you have to maintain this relationship, and you will unconsciously have this relationship.

You can sit here, but not establish a connection with creation or the creator in any way. You may not have realized this, but you must have a connection—unless you completely transcend all material levels.

Otherwise, no matter how you sit, stand, sleep, you are maintaining a relationship. You don't need to try to establish this relationship, because it already exists. That's half the problem solved—as long as you don't create too much of yourself.

I'm not lecturing you, I'm just providing a method for you. Do you understand the difference between these two? A method can be analyzed and understood, while a method is just something to use—you don't need to analyze or comprehend a method. It's just a method, don't spend too much effort. Just pay attention to yourself as a small being in this existence.

Put yourself in the right position

Look at the mountains, then look at yourself, then you'll know how small you are. Look at the sky, then look at yourself, then you'll know how small you are. Look at the distant sky, then look at yourself, then you'll know how limited your vision is. Just like this, put yourself in the right position.

I'm not saying you should belittle yourself, I'm saying to see the reality,

Understand yourself in creation

You don't need to admire or despise yourself, you don't need to lie to yourself. Just look at where you are in this existence, and remind yourself:

This is all I am—a point of emptiness within emptiness

.Who are you, how do you perceive yourself, your greatness—these don't mean anything. Even if you disappear early, the world is still fine. You are, I am, everyone is.

The more people can't understand this, the more foolish their lives will be. The more people can understand this, the more intelligent they will live.”
