I don't know if you don't realize it, we have a strange thinking. It is often thought that delusions of thought belong to our minds. But often the opposite is true, and often we are carried away by the delusions of our thinking.
So what is delusion? How does it affect us?
When delusion arises as a thought in our minds, he has no effect on himself, nor does he have anything in himself. The reason why we are usually carried away by delusions is because our consciousness clings to it as reality, and then according to this attachment, it produces other corresponding disturbing emotions or behaviors.
For example, the renminbi itself as a piece of paper, he has no value, the reason why it is valuable is because we recognize that he has a corresponding value, and then on the basis of these papers, all kinds of contradictions will arise. If there is no such recognition, it is just a piece of paper.
Delusion is something that has no self-nature in itself, and if consciousness does not cling to it, the delusion will disappear in the present moment, because delusion is originally bodyless and has no effect, it is just a thought, why don't we be bothered by the words of a stranger on the street? It is not precisely because of what she said, in the moment like a lens slipping through our minds, and the words of the people we are close to, but we ourselves will subconsciously understand, to explain this sentence, good nature is happy, not in line with expectations will be secretly hurt. Therefore, Master Shan shan said, but to break its attachment, not to break its law, because the law itself is asexual and empty, and there is no need to break it. Just don't cling to it. This is also called the all-permeability of consciousness, that is, the delusional pre-state, but it is false, but the permeation of consciousness, consciousness is nothing if it is not counted, and there is no effect at all.
For example, I love a woman, I love this woman this delusion, itself is nothing in itself, there is no self, think about it, if you did not meet her, or many years later, when you have the same thoughts, such thoughts are also surfaced, and then disappear. But in the current scene, because you are consciously clinging to this delusion, so you will have the trouble caused by this, rub will think about how she does not leave me, why not reply to my WeChat and so on. If you don't climb it, as a delusion, he will disappear in the moment.
So in general, the delusions of thinking have no effect in themselves. The reason why it can affect us is because we go to the aid of this thought, this delusion, and then according to this delusion, we derive a particularly large number of things, externalized into life, which will cause us all kinds of contradictions.
