Thought creates pain and pleasure, but where thought functions objectively it becomes extraordinarily effective.
Pain, pleasure and fear are interrelated, and are bred by thought.
In pleasure there is always the seed of pain.
Can the mind be free from fighting in this entanglement of pleasure and pain?
Thought must function at its highest level in one direction and be quiet, silent in another. Is this possible?
Can the mind function out of silence?
