    About this series

    It is only a very silent mind that can actually see - 30 May 1967

    - Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence.

    - A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.

    - Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of comingupon immeasurable reality.

    - It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, acontrolled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging.

    - When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created,and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is spaceand silence.

    - Q: Could you de ne contemplation and meditation?

    - Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one's own irrational thoughts.

    - Q: What does it mean to stand alone?

      Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 • When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. • Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ • Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly enter. • That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time comes to an end there is something new taking place. • To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. • Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? • Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were talking about? • Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

      "Can thought stop? - 28 May 1967 • When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the mind go beyond that? • What is pleasure and what is desire? • How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying, for thought not to allow itself to interfere? • When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself. • When you are completely attentive, you see. It is only love that sees - not thought, the mind or the intellect. One has to learn how to look, how to hear. • Q: Could you distinguish between what you mean by the word ‘recognizing’ and ‘being aware’? • Q: How is one to break off a concept that one has carefully built?"
