Summary
How can a small mind, a mediocre mind, which seems to be so powerful in the world, become something totally different?
To look is to act. To see is to do.
Austerity means order, precise thinking. There can be no austerity if there is no awareness, not only of things outwardly but also psychologically, inwardly.
Repetition of any experience or of any word creates a mechanical process of thought, an established formula, system, and therefore your mind becomes narrow, shallow, dull.
Man must have space, and as space is being denied outwardly one must have space inwardly.
Can the mind empty itself of the image, the centre?
Meditation is emptying the mind of the past.
Q: One fragment of the mind is looking at the other fragment and hence contradiction, hence conflict. Is it possible to look totally?
Q: What is remembering, what is learning, what is knowledge and what is understanding?
