Summary
If one is deeply seeking reality, the idea of a path leading to truth is an abomination.
Can your mind put away all desire for experience, put away all myths?
Can you put away the authority of another completely, including that of the speaker?
Is there a way of action in which there is no control at all?
Meditation implies the establishment of right relationship with others.
A mind that is still is not distorted. If you make the mind still, if there is a controller, then this product called a quiet mind is a distorted mind.
Silence is completely necessary. Not induced silence or brought about through self-hypnosis but silence that comes naturally, easily, when you have understood existence without conflict.
A mind is silent only when it has established itself in relationship in which there is no conflict, when the mind is free from all control. This means that the mind is learning all the time.
A religious mind is a mind that is attentive to ‘what is’, not attentive to ‘what should be’.
