Summary
There is no Eastern thinking or Western thinking, there is only thinking.
Truth is not yours or mine. It has no path to it.
A mind that is religious does not belong to any nationality, has no belief, but such a mind has exercised the quality of doubt so that it questions, doesn’t obey the edicts of any religion, sect or guru.
We have banished religion from our life. We have banished death from our life. We have postponed it. Why do we banish the actual demand for truth?
Why does the mind live in time?
Because we allow time, the fact becomes important. If there is no time, it is resolved.
Can you end your attachment instantly – your anger, your violence, your greed, end while living?
Why should I take a certain position to meditate? Why should I practise – to arrive where?
You cannot experience enlightenment.
When the mind is absolutely silent, without any movement of thought, then perhaps you will see something; perhaps there is something sacred beyond all words.
