Illusion, Ignorance

Let’s hear what a tear says


Illusion, Ignorance,
We buy and we pay. 1  

We cry in our laughing, 
We die every day. (1)  

The knowledge, the freedom, 
Isn’t it just to say? (1)  

We play with the devil, 
With devils we hay. (1)  

We bawl and we torture, 
So selfish we pray. (1) 

We ruined all the water, 
The air and the clay. (1)  

We enrich the rival’s, 
Hunt allies to fray.  (1)  

We betrayed the angels, 
We cut them, we slay.  (1)  

We exit the heaven, 
In hell so we stay. (1)  

Forget such a living, 
Let’s turn back, let’s sway. 2  

Let’s deepen the wisdom,
Make dhamma the way. (2)  

True freedom we gather, 
Ignorance we lay. (2)  

Come let’s see our true face, 
Stand under true ray. (2)

The "5 whys" is pretty much a natural flow of questioning that I've been doing without much effort for years.  Recently I was having a conversation and we were discussing how to change an outcome. This question was a trigger for me to think about the process of decision-making without our minds and how it leads to an outcome. Let me try to put my thoughts in a structured way. Imagine a machine that takes inputs and gives an output. And it has various stages in between. Our mind is this machine. The stages are Inputs, Enhancing the Inputs, Judgement, Decision, Action, Outcome and Experience. Let's understand each of these seven stages. Stage 1: Inputs     This stage represents the raw inputs that the mind is receiving. It can come from many sources the ...
