MA71T3 - Attention, meditation and understanding oneself
Madras (Chennai), India - 13 January 1971
Public Talk 3
Summary
Meditation perhaps covers the whole field of life.
Nobody can teach you about yourself except yourself.
What you learn from another is not truth.
Awareness is not a matter of accumulation; be aware from moment to moment.
When you are not aware, begin again so that your mind is fresh.
Avoid all systems of meditation; a mechanical mind can never find out what truth is.
In the state of non-attention is conflict.
To see anything clearly your mind must not chatter.
Out of aloneness, there is a quality of silence which is not the result of practice or the opposite of noise.
Silence is without cause and therefore it has no beginning and no end.
