The mind is a meaning-making machine

And so what happens is that the mind is nothing but an interpreter. You see? It's an interpreter which is trying to interpret life for you. Or it is to interpret what is showing up for you. It is trying to tell you that this which is appearing in front of you. This is what it means. You see? But now we have gone beyond those trivial meanings of the mind. You see? I'm just going to change my mind for a moment. I hope I'm still audible. So, it is an interpretation machine. It's a meaning-making machine. And the condition has become like this where every moment, if you're not able to interpret every single, we feel like there's something missing in our lives. You see? And so it's just going from moment to moment, looking at things and saying, okay, this is what this means. Then going to the next moment and saying, what's this? What's this? Ah, this is what this means. Then, what's this? No, this is what this means. You see, but actually, it doesn't mean any of that. It is grasping at these wrong subtitles and we're thinking that this is what life is showing us.
