Quotes
„Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.“
„What is correct action in a deteriorating world?“
„Does choice exist when I see something very clearly?“
„Control exists only when there is action of will, positively or negatively. Will is resistance. When the mind is learning, there is no resistance.“
„Can you look at a flower without thinking?“
„When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren’t you separating yourself?“
„Only the free mind knows what Love is.“
„No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.“
„If there is no meditation, then you are like a blind man in a world of great beauty, light and colour.“
„In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.“
„The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state.“
„Now, one sees all that by observing, by being aware, watching, one is aware of all this. Then out of that awareness you see there is no division between the observer and the observed.“
„Can the mind resolve a psychological problem immediately?“
„Is it possible to observe without the observer?“
„Despair exists only when there is hope.“
„When we look at what is taking place in the world we begin to understand that there is no outer and inner process; there is only one unitary process, it is a whole, total movement, the inner movement expressing itself as the outer and the outer reacting again on the inner. To be able to look at this seems to me all that is needed, because if we know how to look, then the whole thing becomes very clear, and to look needs no philosophy, no teacher. Nobody need tell you how to look. You just look. Can you then, seeing this whole picture, seeing it not verbally but actually, can you easily, spontaneously, transform yourself? That is the real issue. Is it possible to bring about a complete revolution in the psyche?“
„The answer is in the problem, not away from the problem. I go through the searching, analysing, dissecting process, in order to escape from the problem. But, if I do not escape from the problem and try to look at the problem without any fear or anxiety, if I merely look at the problem — mathematical, political, religious, or any other — and not look to an answer, then the problem will begin to tell me. Surely, this is what happens. We go through this process and eventually throw it aside because there is no way out of it. So, why can’t we start right from the beginning, that is, not seek an answer to a problem? — which is extremely arduous, isn’t it? Because, the more I understand the problem, the more significance there is in it. To understand, I must approach it quietly, not impose on the problem my ideas, my feelings of like and dislike. Then the problem will reveal its significance. Why is it not possible to have tranquillity of the mind right from the beginning?“
„Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure.“
„There’s a great and unutterable beauty in all this.“
„The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.“
