LO69T4 - Meditation and the activity of silence
London - 23 March 1969
Public Talk 4
Summary
Is truth ever to be found by seeking?
Why should one have any experience at all?
Light is light; it doesn’t ask for more light.
The desire for more experience is an escape from the actual, from ‘what is’.
Unless one lays the foundation of virtue, meditation becomes a trick to control the mind.
Any method that teaches how to meditate is obviously false.
Out of awareness of inattention there is attention. You don’t have to practise awareness.
What takes place when the thinker is the thought? Then does the mind wander at all?
Concentration is a form of resistance. Where there is resistance there is division and conflict.
Can the brain be made quiet?
The activity of silence is entirely different from the quality of self-centred activity.
