What is a religious mind? Must one go to an expert to tell us what the unconscious is, or can one find it for oneself? Through the negation of disorder, order comes into being. It is only the meditative mind that can find out, not the curious mind or the mind that is everlastingly searching.
To meditate implies to see very clearly. It is not possible to see clearly when there is space between the observer and the thing observed. It is only in silence that there is quite a different dimension. You have to find out for yourself; nobody can open the door for you.
The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state. Where there is fear there is aggression. For most of us, freedom is something that we don’t want. Inaction is total action.
What is the machinery that builds images? Questions from the audience followed the talk.
To understand relationship and to end the conflict in it is our entire problem. Can man live at peace within himself and outwardly? In relationship one becomes aware of the actual state of oneself. The man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free man, a peaceful man.
What is fear? Can thought be silent? Conduct becomes virtuous only when thought doesn’t cultivate what it considers virtue. How is it possible to look at the sunset without thought weaving pleasure or pain around it? Questions from the audience follow the talk.
What is it that we call living? How can a confused mind find somebody who will tell the truth? When there is no comparison, no opposite, and you are actually faced with the fact of anger, then is there anger?
Without knowing what sorrow is, understanding its nature and structure, we shall not know what love is. What is it to die? One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.
It is only the mind that has shed all its burdens every day, ended every problem, that is an innocent mind. Then life has a different meaning altogether. Then one can find out what love is.

Is thought detrimental? 15 August 1965. Duration: 63 minutes. Why does one seek pleasure? Can the mind face only facts and not thought? Why have I never said, 'Thought is poison' to myself? Meeting something one doesn't know, facing something which has no answer. Acting without knowing. What is a state of mind which is silent? Time is detrimental. Are we twisting everything to our core of pleasure?

The role of the teacher. 26 March 1971. Duration: 56 minutes. There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth? One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it, we ask for help. If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?
