SA74D5 - What is a chaste mind?
Saanen, Switzerland - 4 August 1974
Public Discussion 5
Summary
The word ‘chaste’ means pure, clean, untouched.
Have we a chaste mind, a mind that has not been hurt, has no image, is free from the pleasure of yesterday and is innocent?
Is chastity a quality of the mind?
Can the mind be free of the word, symbols and the condemnation and approval of the word?
What is the nature of the mind when there is no attempt through will or desire for any way out through the known?
If you are really serious, not just with words but burning with responsibility, then you ask whether the mind can ever be free from the known.
