Stop Messing

ค่อยๆผ่อนจากไอ้ตัวคอยรู้นั่นแหละ ไอ้ตัวหลงรู้นั่นแหละ ไม่ต้องไปกำหนดซ้ำซ้อนอีก ให้ของมันเอง ของมันเอง รู้ไม่รู้ของมันเอง ไม่ต้องไปหลงคอยร่ำรี่่ร่ำไร ซ้ำซ้อนรู้ ซ้ำซ้อนตัวลักษณะคอยรู้อีก มันจะได้วาง วางไอ้ตัวยุ่งซะที

ถ้ามันยังตัวคอยยุ่งอยู่ ยังตัวในรู้อยู่ ก็ยังยุ่งอยู่ มันจะไม่วางตัวมันเอง ไม่วาง ไม่คลาย ในสิ่งที่เป็นต้นเหตุทั้งหมด ก็จะลำบาก มันจะเป็นสภาพที่ไม่จบไม่สิ้นอยู่ตลอด สภาพที่วกวน สภาพที่ไม่จบไม่สิ้น จบไม่เป็นไอ้ตัวคอยรู้นั่นแหละ ค่อยๆผ่อนให้ของมันเอง ของมันเอง ไม่ต้องซ้อนไม่ต้องแทรก ไม่ต้องเอาไอ้ตรงที่รู้ ไม่รู้ มาเป็นประมาณ ไม่ต้องเอา แล้วมันจะจบเรื่อง วิชชา เรื่องอวิชชา เป็น จบเรื่องของความหลงรู้ หลงไม่รู้เป็น จบหมดอะ จบทั้งโคตรทั้งเหง้า ของความเป็นปุถุชนแหละ

Without effort, ease out of trying to be aware and away from being attached to the knowing. There is no need to concentrate on knowing or to give it any more focus than what it is.

Just let it be.

Whether it knows or it does not know, let it be.

Don’t hold on to the knowing.

There is no need for you to try to be aware of it more than what it is.

That is you letting it be. That is you stopping your messing around with it.

If there is still you and you still try to mess around with the knowing, the mess will always be there and it will not let go of itself. It will not end by itself. 

As long as you are still not letting go of the trying, which is the origin of all the suffering, of all the mess, you will always be in a difficult situation - the situation that will never end by itself.  It will keep on happening again and again and will not end until you let go of the knowing.

Ease out from it gradually, and let it be without any interference from you.

Stop taking into account whether it knows or it does not know.

Then all delusions and all attachments to knowing and not knowing will end.

The cause of the very existence of you as a human being will end.

Commentary on this excerpt: (by Karnjana Opaspakornkij)

You don't have to try to be anything or try to change the condition of your emotions or condition of the mind.  If you feel heavy just ignore it.  If you happen to be aware of any condition of the mind, whatever it is, let it be, let it come and pass without giving it any meaning or trying to make it go away.  Don't try to have a clear mind or light mind.  The fact is everything in this world is always changing, so good, bad, light, heavy - it all comes and goes if you let it.  Don't fight it.  

We always want 'good' and hate 'bad.' When our minds are good, we are not just aware of them lightly and then let them go.  Instead we dwell on them, keep them, don't let them pass because we enjoy them too much.  That is how we practice our mind to be slow, focused and fixated on things.  We don't let things be, don't let things change or pass through as they are supposed to.  We try to cage them in because we want to linger on them. (That is the case when things are good.)

Once we train our mind that way -slow and focused -when the mind is aware of something it is really aware with focus, with intensity.  When bad conditions happen in our minds, our minds are aware of them so vividly and intensely and that make us feel so strongly about the bad minds.  Then we try to reject them, try to get rid of them because we feel strongly effected by them (i.e the bad minds.)  

By trying to do something to the bad minds, we expand the effect of the bad minds by emphasizing this effect; this makes the effect stay longer so we keep on feeling like rejecting it.  The effect stays on, longer than it originally would have because of our interference.

If we let things go quickly, as quickly as we can, good or bad, our minds will get used to not taking things in, not being intense about anything coming in and out through us.  That way, things will flow without obstruction, coming through us without any blocking and not staying.

If you happen to feel heavy and know that you have been taking in a lot, it's OK. Don't feel bad on top of the heavy mind. Let it be.  It will pass if you don't care about it, if you don't feel like trying to stop it, or like changing the state of your mind.  When you stop fighint it, it will go.  It is like if you try to change it, you are fighting the condition. There are then two opponents fighting until one party gives up, ignores the other one, and lets it do whatever it wants.  The fight will be over right there and then, because there is only one party left, no one to fight with.

But if you still want to change the condition, still want to get rid of the heavy mind, you are fighting the condition, your opponent.  You get on into the ring with the condition and if you keep on trying to make it go away the fight goes on. When you are tired and accidentally forget about it, you will find out that the bad condition will go on its own without your attempt.  So relax and accept the fact that sometimes it's good.  Sometimes it's bad.  Good comes and goes.  Let it go.   Bad comes and goes, let it go.  It is not our job to change anything. It changes by itself. Always.
