Buddha starts here, or at least the collection of his text, starts with this idea that what you bring into your mind expands.

And therefore, it's so important.

And, you know, this is something that, you know, we live in a world now where a lot of books on mindfulness become popular.

And that's a good thing.

But generally, they're being presented as ways to

kind of like I don't know reach a state of like improved well-being you know I'm more balanced sure

important which is good that's good um necessity although I think from the domapods

its its purpose was a higher purpose than that which was Um, necessity. Although I think from the Dama Pads,

its purpose was a higher purpose than that, which was like you can achieve liberation, right?

You can, you can become free of your intent, not just reach an improved state of bondage,

um, but achieve a state of freedom.

And where it goes in Bhakti is still further.

In other words, we're all concerned.

It's coming up to the human level where you become concerned about your mind

and where it's going and what you're putting into it

and what it's creating more of in your life. If you haven't gotten there, you're wasting your

potential as a human being and you're, and you'll suffer because of it.

Write that down because stupid speaks. You're wasting your, what's that potential as a human

being and you're suffering because of it. You sound like a priest. You've been listening to me, that's that potential as a human being? And your suffer because of it.

And you sound like a priest.

You've been listening to me, Rogged out.

That's awesome.
