The same applies to our perception of the world around us. To be attached to the reality of phenomena. To be tormented by attraction and repulsion, pleasure a pain, gain and loss, fame and obscurity, praise and blame, creates a solidity in the mind. What we have to do therefore is to melt the ice of concepts into the living water of the freedom within.
In order to conquer the high ground of the uncreated nature of mind, we must go to the source and recognize the origin of our thoughts. Otherwise, one thought leads to a second thought, the second thought to a third, and so on, forever. We are constantly assailed by memories of the past, and carried away by expectations for the future, while losing all awareness of the present. It is our own mind that leads us astray into the cycle of existences. Blind to the mind's true nature, we hold fast to our thoughts, which are nothing but manifestations of that nature. This freezes awareness into solid concepts, such as I and other, desirable and detestable, and plenty of others. This is how we create samsara.But if, instead of letting our thoughts solidify, we recognized their emptiness, then each thought that arises and disappears in the mind renders the realization of emptiness ever clearer.
