For most of us, knowledge has become a dead weight, a heavy stone around our necks; it has become our habit, our conditioning. The mind that is serious must be free to observe; it must be free of this dead weight, which is knowledge, experience and tradition, which is accumulated memory, the past. To observe actually ‘what is’, to see the whole significance of ‘what is’, the mind must be fresh, clear, undivided.

Though we now have so much knowledge in so many fields, it has not stopped man’s brutality to man, even among those of the same group, nation or religion. Perhaps knowledge is blinding us to another factor that is the real solution to all this chaos and misery. For most people, knowledge is the accumulation of words or the strengthening of their prejudices and beliefs. Words and thoughts are the framework in which the self-concept exists. This concept contracts or expands through experience and knowledge, but the hard core of the self remains, and mere knowledge or learning can never dissolve it. Revolution is the voluntary dissolution of this core, of this concept, whereas action born of self-perpetuating knowledge can only lead to greater misery and destruction.

We have no light within ourselves: we have the artificial light of others; the light of knowledge, the light that talent and capacity give. This kind of light fades and becomes a pain. The light of thought becomes its own shadow. But the light that never fades, the deep, inward brilliance which is not a thing of the marketplace, cannot be shown to another. You cannot seek it, you cannot cultivate it, you cannot possibly imagine it or speculate upon it, for it is not within the reach of the mind.

Vakar iškilo klausimas, kad Lietuvos valdžia galimai keliasi į Microsoft kaip yra pavyzdžiai kitose valstybėse, ir kad realiai neaišku ką Lietuvos valdžia veikia tokiais klausimais,

tai sukūriau dar vieną paprasto projekto idėją "Lietuvos valdžios kibernetinių naujienų srautas" codeberg.org/skaitmeninio-svie…

Su tikslu „GERINTI BENDRĄ ŽINOJIMĄ kokius pakeitimus Lietuvos valdžia daro kibernetiniais klausimais, kad būtų galima diskutuoti, įsitraukti ir reaguoti.“

If the intellect is the product of the brain, it must always be conditioned by memory and knowledge. The intellect can project very far, but it is still tethered. The intellect can seek freedom; it can never find it. It can be free only within the radius of its own tether; in itself it is limited. And freedom must be beyond the capacity of the intellect; it must be something outside the field.

One must actually experience what is taking place in the mind, examine it, be aware of the whole content of it, without denying, suppressing or putting it away. Then, if you go so far, and if you are at all serious, you will find that the mind is no longer projecting any image, no longer creating any myth, any illusion; it is beginning to understand the totality of itself, and therefore it becomes very clear, simple, quiet. This is not a momentary process but a continual living, a continual sharpening of the mind. And in the very process of sharpening, the mind spontaneously ceases to be as it is. Then the mind is no longer creating images, visions, fallacies and illusions. Only then, when the mind is completely still, silent, is there a possibility of experiencing something which is not of the mind itself.

In restful stillness, there is no slumbering, but a heightened watchfulness; there is no inquiry, digging or cultivation, but a passive stillness. There is no effort of any kind, but choiceless awareness. There is no identification or its opposite, but a fruitful emptiness. If there has been deep cultivation of self-awareness, this period of non-effort is as essential as for the soil to lie fallow. For, in this period of stillness, there are discovered, perceived, those states and factors that lie beyond the intellect, which, having been experienced, reason may come to support; but they are not the product of reason or craving. What each one discovers in that stillness will depend entirely on how deeply one has cultivated self-awareness.

Contentment comes with the awareness of ‘what is’, and simplicity with the freedom from ‘what is’. It is well to be outwardly simple, but it is far more important to be inwardly simple and clear. Clarity does not come through a determined and purposeful mind; the mind cannot create it. The mind can adjust itself, can arrange and put its thoughts in order, but this is not clarity or simplicity.

The man who is caught in ritual, perpetually repeating, calling on the name of God, and doing so-called good, is not a simple man. Then what is simplicity? The simple mind is the mind that transforms itself; the simple mind is the result of transformation. The mind that says, ‘I must be simple,’ is a stupid mind, but the mind that is aware of the extensiveness of its own deceptions, its own anxieties, its own illusions, aspirations and all the turmoil of desires, such a mind is simple. Being totally aware of all that, as one is aware of a tree or the heavens, there comes this extraordinary simplicity.

If you are merely seeking entertainment in different forms, either in church or on the football field, then such entertainment brings its own pain, its own sorrow, its own problems. The superficial mind escapes through the church and football, but we are not dealing with such a superficial mind because it is not really interested. Life is serious, but in that seriousness there is great laughter, and it is only the serious mind that is living, that can solve the immense problems of existence.

On television, there is endless entertainment from morning until late at night, except for one or two programmes which are very brief and not too serious. The commercials sustain the feeling that you are being entertained, and this is happening all over the world. The children are entertained, but what will be the future of these children? There is the entertainment of sport – thousands of people watching a few people in the arena and shouting themselves hoarse. Or you go and watch a ceremony being performed in a great cathedral, some ritual, and that too is a form of entertainment – only you call that holy, religious. But it is still an entertainment, a sentimental, romantic experience, a sensation of religiosity. Watching all this, watching the mind being occupied with amusement, entertainment and sport, one must inevitably ask, if one is in any way concerned: what is the future? More of the same in different forms, a variety of amusements?
