MA7980T4 - A mind living in control, conflict and desire is never free
Madras (Chennai), India - 30 December 1979
Public Talk 4
Summary
Our minds are chattering, thought moving from one association or desire to another, a contradiction of opposing energies.
Within the mind can there ever be freedom? If not, man is everlastingly slave to the known.
Is it possible to go beyond the process of time?
The immediate is far more important than the future.
The mind has become accustomed, trained, conditioned to time, with no question of immediate action.
The immediate dissolves time.
One has to understand the nature of desire, not suppress it, control it or run away from it.
Desire comes through the movement of thought creating the image. Thought pursues that image which becomes desire.
Why does thought create the image?
Will is the exertion of energy in a particular direction and that energy is the movement of desire.
Is it possible to observe instantly and act instantly, which needs no control?
