Summary
Q: Why do we have prejudices?
One must have a free mind and brain to understand something.
The brain needs tremendous security. Is thought secure? Will thinking make you secure?
Is knowledge secure? Do you find security through comparison?
The brain which lives without security will be confused whatever it does. How can you be clear when you are confused and seeking security in things that don't give it? Can the brain clear itself of its confusion?
The brain has capacity to go in one direction to an extraordinary extent, technologically. Being self-centred, selfish, that capacity has been reduced to a very small affair. Thinking about oneself is a very small affair and because it is small the brain gets confused.
