"How much you suffer from discomfort, being blamed and so forth depends on how much attachment you have to the eight worldly dharmas. So if you practice Dharma and free your mind from attachment, these sufferings do not occur. In cutting through ignorance we get rid of them from the root. We impute an ""I"" on the valid base of the aggregates, but that is the only way this ""I"" exists: as a mere imputation. If we could think like that 24 hours a day, anger, ignorance and attachment could not arise. The next second after we impute and ""I"" it appears back to us as existing from its own side. A completely false ""I"". And we TOOOOTALLY entrust it as true. This is what creates our Samsara, our suffering. By recognizing the first one you realise the second one is TOOOOTALLY wrong. Same with phenomena. A real tree, a real car, etc. In reality they all are like a dream. A hallucination. The object to be refuted, the gagja. Everything more that seeing them as merely imputed. There is nothing there to be entrusted, to be attached to.
