Most people are not aware of how they are in the present moment. This lack of awareness is the root of our suffering—it is what we call a lost mind.
Imagine seeing a curved yellow object. How do we identify it? First, our eyes perceive its shape. That information is sent to the brain, which searches through memory for something similar. Then we reach the conclusion: this is a banana. This is how perception, cognition, and the senses work together.
Our mind becomes lost when it is occupied by things that carry strong impressions. For example, some people struggle to attract attention, while others easily resonate with many. We are drawn to certain words, images, or people because they match our own frequency. What we see with our eyes and hear with our ears enters our memory and triggers unresolved energy. When the same frequency—or karma—is activated, we are pulled away from the present moment, and the mind becomes lost.
Why do we keep experiencing suffering? Sometimes we believe we have not hurt anyone, so why do we keep falling into the same hole? If we do not understand the cause, how can we clear it? And if we cannot clear it, how can we be free from suffering? We all want freedom and liberation, but without practice, these remain only words.
So what captures our attention? It is the frequency that attracts us and keeps us lost. When we understand this, we see that our issues are not truly about other people or external events. Then what is the real issue? It is the mind itself—a mind that is lost.
How does a lost mind return to its source, to its original silence? We must observe ourselves and stay in contact with our deep consciousness and then take action. Practice means applying what we have learned in daily life. If we only “know” we are lost, know that we must observe, know that we should reconnect with deep consciousness—but never act—then nothing changes. Everything remains at the starting point. Practice is action.
