If we can understand the problem of frustration, we shall have a mentality that is not merely intellectual but an integrated activity. Our religions, our social activities are based on frustration and sorrow. If we can go into this question of frustration, which is really the problem of duality, we may be able, for ourselves as individuals, to come to a creativity that is not a mere capacity or gift but a totally different action.

15 rumors about the CIA that Snopes has investigated


The CIA has been the target of numerous rumors, spanning everything from its knowledge of UFOs to its alleged administration of covert drug trials.

I must be aware I am suffering, I am in anxiety, in a state of confusion and of fear. To recognise that, transformation is essential; I must not be self-contented. There must be real discontent. It must have a quality which is not mere change. If you see a cobra and know it to be a cobra, you have an instantaneous response. There is a bodily response to the poisonous snake, and you jump. It is not out of fear that you avoid it, but the understanding of the nature of the poison keeps you away.

If you allow the flame of discontent to keep on burning, not being satisfied with anything, then superficial satisfactions have no place. Then this very dissatisfaction demands something much greater, and the ideals, the gurus, the religions, the establishment, become totally superficial. This flame of discontent, because it has no outlet, because it has no object in which it can fulfil itself, becomes a great passion. That passion is intelligence.

Discontent is an unpolluted state which exists in each one of us if it is not deadened through wrong education, through gratifying solutions, through ambition, or through the pursuit of an ideal. When we understand the nature of real discontent, we shall see that attention is part of this burning flame which consumes the pettiness and leaves the mind free of the limitations of self-enclosing pursuits and gratifications.
