Summary
The art of listening to what the book of life is saying.
The book is you; you can’t tell the book what it should reveal; it will reveal everything.
Learning means inquiring into the limits of knowledge and moving away from it.
Disorder exists as long as there is contradiction.
As long as you are acting self-centredly, selfishly, egotistically, personally, narrowing the whole of this vast life into the little ‘me’, you will inevitably create disorder.
The book asks you: is it possible to be completely free of fear?
What is the relationship between time and thought?
Time destroys understanding because understanding is immediate; it is not ‘I will learn to understand’.
Real meditation is to inquire whether time can ever stop.
To inquire into the nature of the ending of time requires a silent mind, a mind that is free to observe, that is not frightened.
