Changes and sufferings

So there is always change around

your duty is not to criticise - he is doing right or wrong
let him  busy himself with his own affairs
yours is to keep watch on the heart

the mistake that we do in front of changes
is to put mind instead of heart in use
the mind which is tied to concepts
hence duality (good vs bad)
will lead you to judgement and thus make you belong to the world of concepts
and concepts die and make you die along with them (for you choose to belong to their world...)
and you suffer

the heart is meant to witness the changes
ON THE SPOT
and ultimately when it keeps doing that
THEN
the mind knows Truth :

"'Inconstancy' refers to the heart as it moves from its labels. When you see this, watch it again & again, right at the moving. [watching is the moving meditation]. When all external objects have faded away, the Dhamma will appear. When you see that Dhamma, you recover from mental unrest. The mind then won't be attached to dualities. Just this much truth can end the game. Knowing not-knowing: That's the method for the heart.

Once we see through inconstancy, the mind-source stops creating issues. All that remains is the primal mind, true & unchanging. Knowing the mind-source brings release from all worry & error. If you go out to the mind-ends, you're immediately wrong."

[...]

"The heart stays, tamed, near the mind-source, Thinking, yet not dwelling on its thoughts. The nature of the mind is that it has to think, But when it senses the mind-source it's released from its sorrows, secluded from disturbances, & still."

[...]

"The mind knows itself from the motion of the song. The mind's knowledge of the motion is simply adjacent mind-moments. In fact, they can't be divided: They're all one & the same. When the mind is two, that's called sañña entangling things."

"When the heart sees its own decayings, it's released from darkness. It loses its taste for them, and abandons its doubts. It stops searching for things within & without. Its attachments all fall away. It leaves its loves & hates, whatever weighs it down. It can end its desires, its sorrows all vanish — together with the weighty cares that made it moan — as if a shower of rain were to refresh the heart. The cool heart is realized by the heart itself. The heart is cool for it has no need to wander around, looking at people. Knowing the mind-source in the present, it's unshakeable & unconcerned with any good or evil, for they must pass away, with all other impediments. Perfectly still, the mind-source neither thinks nor interprets. It stays only with its own affairs: no expectations, no need to be entangled or troubled, no need to keep up its guard. Sitting or lying down, one thinks at the source-mind: 'Released.'"

Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale
 
Why does my heart make noise?
It does not go here and there
It goes just towards you
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale

Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya
Zara der mein yeh kya ho gaya
Nazar milte hi kahan kho gaya
 
 
What has happened in such a short time?
Where is it lost just after the eyes met?
 
Bheed mein logon ki woh hai wahan
Aur pyaar ke mele mein akela
Kitna hoon main yahan
 It is in the crowd of people somewhere else
While I am alone in the fare of love here
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale

Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri
Shuru ho gayi kahani meri
Mere dil ne baat na maani meri
 
My tale has started
My heart did not do as I told
 
Hadd se bhi aagey yeh guzar hi gaya
Khud bhi pareshaan hua
Mujhko bhi yeh kar gaya
 
It crossed all limits
It itself became tense
And it rendered me tense as well
 
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare
Idhar nahin udhar nahin
Teri ore chale
