【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- further and further from the teaching

【Moreover, Do-lung-ba said:  
If someone who knew how to examine our mind-
stream were to do so, that person would soon find
something that had gone quite
far from the teaching—like sending a ball of thread
down a steep incline. 】

 If we use the proper wisdom to examine, to examine according to the teachings, you will discover, hey, not only is it so far but also, it is interesting! Just like if there was a ball of thread on top of a steep incline, the more it rolls, the further it goes, the more it rolls the further it goes, the further away it goes!  Why is this?  This is the result of one having truly examined himself according tothe teaching.  Actually for this point, we can also see it when we examine ourselves.  If we just examine ourselves now, what is the state of our minds?  I think everyone can feel it.  We talked about it a lot before.  You should be able to easily feel it.  Right now, within our minds, it is our beginningless causally concordant effect, that which concords with afflictions, that continues to push forward.  Right?  It is just that causally concordant effect that continuously pushes forward.  What does that mean?  That means we are further and further from the teaching.  It continues to tread on afflictions!  Hence our minds are just that lax and scattered.   This is the state.  Therefore, on many occasions, I have gradually and slowly felt this.  At the time when this naturally comes about for you, you yourself will know it very clearly, very plainly, very clearly and very plainly.

业果 : 与法越来越远

【朵垄巴亦云：“若有观慧而正观察，如于险坡放掷线团，与法渐远。”】

如果我们拿正确的智慧去观察的话，如法去观察的话，你会发现：嘿，不但这么远，而且妙咧！就像那个很陡的山坡上面放一个线球，越滚越远、越滚越远、越来越远！为什么这样？为什么这样？这个就是他如法真正观察的结果。其实这一点我们也可以观察得出来，我们现在如果观察一下我们的心里什么样的状态呢？我想大家都会感觉得到的。我们以前说过很多，你自己很容易地感觉得出来，现在的心里面，是以前无始以来跟烦恼相应那个等流一直在向前推动，对不对？就是那个等流，所以那个等流不断地在向前推动，那表示什么？跟法越来越远，越来越远，它一直在烦恼上面走嘛！所以我们心里就这么松松散散，就是这个情况，就是这个情况。
