“Know how ignorant mind creates the “me” and the “mine” and gets dukkha as a result. And know that mind gradually turns away from the life of suffering to a life that knows it isn’t a “me.” The rightly knowing mind comes to accept that there’s only nature carrying on in harmony with causes and conditions. The story concludes with realizing there’s no “me” to be the basis for falsehood and error. Kilesas aren’t reborn in the thriving trees of Dhamma life.”
