When one awakens, a clear mind state is provided which allows a true view of your actions. With this clear mind state you become aware if your actions are truly beneficial…
Having a clear mind state allows for the ability to decipher the immediate affect of your actions and your current view. A clear mind state doesn’t allow greed, hate, and delusion, to arise. In seeing the affects of greed, hate, and delusion for what they are and their controlling characteristics, you just may be able to pause them for a millisecond. If this isn’t clearly seen these characteristics will continue their monkey mind control.
Observe the different mind states which are greed, hate and delusion and their polar opposites, generosity, love, and wisdom. These are the clear and cloudy mind states most people fluctuate between. With a clear mind state you see how your actions and the associated actions are linked. What happens first is you can decipher the mind state associated with your actions, and second you’ll see if those actions are beneficial. It’s very easy to see anger and its association with the mind state of hate. It doesn’t take much intelligence to see how this action isn’t beneficial to anyone. Without awareness of this you remain trapped to the mind state of hate and hence the associated actions. Intelligence has no bearing on this whatsoever.
It also works this way with the action of giving. Giving with no attached expectations is an action associated with the mind state of generosity. You can definitely see how this action benefits everyone; to me this is what an awakening is, although one isn’t rendered white as snow just because of becoming awake. No one among us can cast the first stone, but by the mind settling your view becomes clear and you become aware of your actions and the associated mind state of those actions. It can then be seen if your actions are truly a benefit not only to yourself, but to all beings…
