If you let go of separation, attachment, and delusions, does it mean that your kindness is gone? If you don’t care about things around you, doesn’t it mean that you have lost your kindness and if you don’t do good deeds, you have no merit?

When you let go of your discriminating mind, you lose even your kind heart. For example, if you scratched an itch this morning, do you remember whether it was your left hand or your right hand? You feel there is no difference, so you don’t remember. If you completely let go of your discrimination, there will be no distinction between good and evil, and you won’t even know when to do good, let alone do evil? Those who do evil do it all because they have ego and want to maintain a self. If there is no discrimination, there is no ego. How can one do evil?

But now that we are not cultivated enough, we still have a discriminating mind, so we must do good deeds and try our best to hone and reduce our ego and discriminating mind.
