Madras (Chennai), India - 14 December 1976

Summary
How do you observe your anger?
The new can only occur when the past stops for a second.
Because the brain has found safety in the past, it holds on and so creates a division as the observer and the observed.
The past dominates whatever we are doing.
The past has been our safety and tradition, and as long as that remains, we won’t know anything else.
The ideal of non-violence is absurd because the fact is you are violent.
Without the word ‘violence’ is there violence?
When the brain is quiet, it has its own natural movement.
To find out what is beyond love, begin where you are.
