The only thing that comes to mind when a thief first plans to steal is

 

We all face various problems at various times and have to face various inconveniences during those times. But we do not examine with our wisdom what is the root cause of those problems in those times, right? What was preached by the Buddha in the first sermon of the Dhammachakkappawaththana Sutta? Every problem we have has a cause and the solution to that problem lies in the cause of that problem. That is, let us examine it carefully according to the Dhamma taught by the Buddha.

    *   Suffering - Problem

    *   Cause of Suffering - Cause of the Problem

    *   Ending of Suffering - Solution of the Problem

    *   Path to Ending of Suffering - Method of Solving the Problem

In this way, we should strive to create every flaw in our life correctly by analyzing and understanding the Dhamma taught by the Buddha. That effort will help no one but ourselves to achieve our own liberation.

Did the Tathagata, who soothed the three worlds, achieve his liberation through his own efforts or with the help of someone else? We must constantly ask ourselves. So, at every moment of asking, we must correctly create the appropriate attitude or attitude for our lives. It is a fact that the Bodhisattva knew very well that he was born for the purpose of seeking truth in the three worlds before he was born in the human world. Similarly, he was created through the Dharma of Nature to ask what is the way to escape from the suffering suffered by the entire world. But if he had not understood it from the moment he was born in the human world, he was guided by the Dharma of Nature in every action in accordance with that moment in a way that made him obey it. That is why,

ෆ A sick person

ෆ A dead body

ෆ A monk's form

Four premonitions were seen. All of these were created by the natural law itself in accordance with that time, and not by anyone else. What is the only example that can be given to prove this? He spent a total of one hundred thousand kalpas with the aim of becoming a Buddha who would appear to find a way to end all the suffering that occurs in the three worlds. That is why the natural law completed all the necessary work for that in the last incarnation when he attained Buddhahood. What was the only reason why the natural law helped him in that way? Was it not because he was striving to do things for the benefit of the whole world? If so, we too would not be able to get the help of the natural law. But as long as we do not obey it, the natural law will not help us. There is no action that is considered impossible for all of us to do in this world. Why is that? Because all activities are carried out by people living in the world. It requires only one weapon. That is, wisdom with unwavering determination. The life we ​​have received is not eternal. It is temporary. That is why we should build a picture frame that allows us to travel a long journey with understanding within that temporary time frame. Then we should look at that picture frame that we have built with wisdom and try to act correctly with our minds. Then we will be able to live according to the right principles, and nature will also help and assist us a lot. The first thing that should be instilled in our minds is that I should be created as a successful person in this society. Then, what should I do or not do to be created in that way? We should ask ourselves with our minds and hearts. The schedule that we should engage in and the framework of the programs that we should engage in will be created well. Then we are only tasked with implementing that program correctly. We have not seen people who live in the midst of many hardships because they are not shaped in accordance with it, even though we know this in this way. But no matter how many people we meet who have created problems in their lives, we do not ask why those people are suffering in that way, do we? If we ask that, we will not be tempted to commit a crime or even think about it at any time. 

The only thing that comes to mind when a thief first plans to steal is, “I will have to suffer punishment for this at some point.” But if his own helplessness is greater than that thought, he will be tempted to commit a theft that does not agree with his mind, no matter how much suffering he has to suffer in the future and even in the face of the law. What is his weakness? There is a certain framework of principles that we must follow in the world. If we behave well within that framework, no problem will arise for us. But if one does not obey it, nature itself has a framework made up of harsh principles, such as punishments, for those who do not obey. If someone cannot act within a set of correct principles, then he is then led into a framework made up of a set of wrong principles. By entering into it, he himself causes the destruction and regression of that person's life due to the activities he performs. This is because he is not interested in accepting or acting within a set of correct principles. All these activities are directed by nature itself, which is around us and acts as our operator, and not by anyone else. Therefore, in order to achieve true liberation and peace in life, we should guide our wisdom and carefully design the path we should take and measure the steps along that path with our minds. Then we will be able to enjoy both unexpected and expected happiness.
