Summary
The religious mind is not the confused, tangled mind which is caught in belief, dogma and ritual.
The religious mind is not a slave to authority, it is a light to itself.
Freeing the mind of conditioning is part of meditation.
For a mind to really understand the depth and beauty of meditation, fear must cease and sorrow of any kind.
The brain is the result of centuries of animalistic, conditioned existence, and that brain must be completely quiet.
Total elimination of all conflict.
Conflict exists if there is a contradiction, a division, a time interval, a space between the thinker and the thought.
In meditation there must be no thinker. When there is no thinker, thought comes to an end.
There is a vast difference between concentration and attention.
Out of immense silence and quietude, in which the mind is no longer seeking, expecting, wanting, demanding, there is a movement which is creation, beyond time, beyond expression.
