Life is complex as long as we have psychological authority (knowledge), this knowledge we gather from books, gurus, religions, ideals, social and economic influences. If my action or behavior is outcome of my setting rules in life, then I will be in perpetual conflict. Trying to be a respectable person in society is a dreadful thing. I feel the reason behind this knowledge that the mind gathers is it want to be secure, so it says keep some knowledge and live in those norms so that no conflict with society. But if you question yourself almost every one of us has this knowledge base, are we happy in life? at the root we are aware that we are not happy and joyful human beings but still we don't take any action to bring that happiness, on the contrary every action that we do is moving us into more confusion and conflict.
Life is simple when we don't have base of psychological knowledge, the mind must be in a state to negate the psychological knowledge however the sacred the society might be telling you. Society believes in something and imposes it on you, but you must have the capacity to question in order to find truth. You see sir in that state of negation you are continuously cleansing your mind. This negation is real revolution and it is not the product of thought and it is not a reaction to outside society, but it is a movement out of intelligence and direct perception. Only through that negation false or non fact will drop effortlessly, and then change comes into being. So it is not good to look for change without seeing the beauty of negation, change without negation creates further confusion and disorder. Time is the enemy for change, so negation must be out of insight which is out of time. Happiness comes out of simplicity in being; to be simple you can not have ideal, role model in your life. Learning from others is a good thing NOT keeping them as ideals and worshipping them or repeating their phrases.
I think in ancient times great saints used this negation to inquire the truth about life, and they discovered that nothing contains everything. Rest of the people just repeated those phrases again and again even though they don't know what it means. Only repetition of a fact make the mind dull, fact has to be discovered and to discover there must be no psychological authority. Obviously repetition without understanding or discovery has become most dangerous thing for humanity. Please be aware of the ugly gurus who are coining money, if not money they want fame, popularity or authority over others, and a person who is looking for authority over others psyche or entertains worshipping is a criminal.
