The attachments one has in his mind are

the root of his thoughts.

Thoughts can also be called a ‘thought-mass,’

which is the body of images one has in his mind

due to the existence of his individual self.

Those images are what confuse man uselessly;

they begin in the thoughts that man has in his mind

and then are directly manifested in his deeds

without even thinking.

Deeds are no different from thoughts,

but since his thoughts precede his deeds,

Man falls into utter distress.

Humans must live in a humanly manner

in order to be human,

but if man lives a life that is full or turmoil,

then he is living a life that is not true.

Writings are the representations of the mind,

and my writings are my message.

But people have yet to understand its meaning

due to the images they have in their minds.

The countless people of this world

each have their own images

from which they are unable to escape.

Images belong to man;

images are futile.

Everyone must recover the Jung and Shin –

the true Body and Mind –

know the one Truth,

and thus wake up from their delusions.

The affairs of the Universe all follow the flow of nature,

but man creates klesha after klesha

and performs deeds that stem from his karma.

The Universe always follows nature’s flow,

but due to his life,

man lives creating habits and karma –

karma from which he cannot escape;

this is why humans are the most foolish.

No matter what,

nature alone remains silent.

Nature follows its flow without a word,

while only humans live creating kleshas.

They do so because of the self-inflicted turmoil

caused by the false deeds and habits

that they have acquired from life.

Thus it is none other than man himself,

who is the champion of creating

his own sense of self-image

and thus hinders his own salvation.

Flora and fauna just live and die by the flow of nature,

but man is the only existence that creates images

which are what shackle him.

It is when man realizes that the image is not an image

that he will be able to live a true life;

that this procession called life will be one which is lived

following nature’s flow.

A life that is of nature’s flow is an unhindered life;

It is not a life of kleshas

but one that is lived without being lived in;

it is a life without falseness but a life of oneness;

it is a life absent of attachments;

it is the non-existent life.

Thus you must live a life

that is not about eating well or living well,

but one that follows the flow of nature.

The flow of nature is the universal order;

it is the logic of the Universe;

it is the act of existing as you are without attachments.
