MA7980T1 - The flowering of the seed of a million years
Madras (Chennai), India - 22 December 1979
Public Talk 1
Summary
If we are not capable of listening we are not capable of learning.
Man since the beginning of time has asked if there is a reality, truth, something timeless that cannot be measured, and that inquiry, that seed, is still with us.
Is it possible for that seed to grow and flower, multiply and cover the earth? That is the function, the necessity of everyone.
In this world there is such confusion, violence, corruption, every form of degeneration. If we do not find that seed and let it flower we are going to destroy ourselves.
Thinking is always in a straight line, moving forwards or backwards.
When specialisation takes place the brain becomes smaller; the other parts of the brain become rather dull.
Thought divides itself, one group of thoughts against another group.
The mind, the brain has now reached a point where it is completely confused.
The brain needs absolute security for that seed to flower.
