Education in human society is only temporary. If you don’t keep studying, what you put in your memory will soon be forgotten. Meditation is the real education because the truth we come to understand is eternal. To practice we do nothing, and by doing nothing the peace comes naturally, the freedom comes naturally. By knowing nothing, wisdom appears naturally, never to disappear again. Because it came from nature automatically, it is permanent. By meditating, wisdom will appear more and more fully, [always increasing]. If you read a book written about 4 noble truths or if you listen to my teachings, you will understand only while you are listening. After some time, your understanding will disappear; it is impermanent. If you meditate, the understanding through wisdom that appears in you does not depend on me or on you - it doesn’t depend on what is impermanent so it doesn’t disappear. This wisdom will begin to appear only when you can abandon your effort – in other words, your ego. Doing without effort is doing without ‘I’, which means accepting and surrendering to nature. We are breaking the limitation of 'I' by staying simply with the emptiness of nature. On the other hand, doing with ‘I’ is going against nature – it is breaking the natural law of emptiness of self. So, by taking ourselves to be ‘I’, we are breaking the natural law and we suffer because of it. We lose our freedom and take on the endless responsibilities of a man. A man has everything to like, dislike, worry and think about. The idea of a man is only a creation of mind (not an eternal God), everything mind creates is only an illusion. So meditation is destroying the false creations of mind, destroying the limitations caused by accepting the mind as ‘mine’. In reality, there is no mine in mind, knowing this is wisdom. The wisdom, which understands there is no I ,will appear in whoever follows this method exactly. It’s only cause and effect, if you make the right cause, the desired effect will surely appear, it can't go wrong. If there is no effect, you are making the wrong cause; which means you are not following the method exactly. It has nothing to do with who you are, how old you are, or which religion you believe in. The appearance of wisdom will be the benefit for whoever makes the right cause. I made many causes to change my life and that’s why my life changed forever. If you are in doubt you are making the wrong cause, if you are hoping for the result you are making the wrong cause. Thinking and being interested are also the wrong causes - which result in suffering instead of wisdom. [Ironically] the only right cause is trying to make no other cause than to do and know nothing. This means, not accepting anything that appears, which is the result of the wrong causes we have made previously. So, practically, we must accept ourselves as nothing (empty of ‘I’) and [let] our mind rest in the moment, moment after moment after moment. This is stopping the mind’s work, or, protecting the mind to be free of action/doing. In this way, our mind can live without making the wrong causes of thinking, hoping for the future, revisiting the past, and being busy in present. Mind will become mind only. “If you accept knowing something [it is making the wrong cause]; the effect will be something to know will appear endlessly. And along with it, there will be a person [‘I’] who misunderstands that something to exist. In this way, ‘I’ will always be suffering, always being busy with the non-stop [appearance of] endless things to do and thing to know. On the other hand, knowing of nothing is removing the cause of all suffering, because for nothing there is nothing to do or know, it is complete in itself. Not accepting anything is the cause we have to make, and as a result, the wisdom of emptiness will appear. The appearing of this wisdom is the cause of freedom, the cause of purity of mind, of a peace of mind that can never be imagined by the ego – or ‘I’. The liberation we get by meditating depends on nothing that’s why it is permanent, because nothing can only be nothing. That is why the happiness, freedom, and liberation we get from knowing nothing is permanent. We have nothing to take care of; nothing to do to protect our peace of mind. “With [the misunderstanding of] 'I', there are endless to do, endless things to think about, to be seen and heard. Because of this misunderstanding, we are always busy; busy with nonsense. Because of non-enlightenment, people will never get freedom, they will always be busy misunderstanding 'I' to be real. So we must practice meditation with the idea of nothing … because freedom appears when knowing nothing is happening.

In that sense, we are all are the same, right ? why separate and compare with each other ? We will all meet with bad health one day and on a regular basis, unwanted things will happen – most of us are feeling depressed, disappointed or some bad feeling most of the time, right?
