Is there a totally different way of approaching the whole turmoil of life? As long as the centre is creating darkness, and thought is operating in that darkness, there must be disorder, there must be everything as society now is. To move away from that, you must have insight. Insight can only come about when there is a flash which abolishes not only the darkness but the creator of darkness. Human beings have been acting according to one pattern, responding to hatred by hatred and so on. There are those few, perhaps many, who did not.

Thought and the brain. Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? Why has the self become important? Can there be only sensation, thought and no desire? Can desire—which brings illusion, self-deception and all the complications of changing desires—can the root of desire be dissipated? What prevents one from having a real insight?

When there is no desire whatsoever then there is a total revolution, and that will affect the consciousness of man.

Is the background noise different from the observer? How am I to live an everyday life with complete silence?

To communicate, we must know that the word is not the thing and also be in that state of mind whose quality is attention, care. That can only take place if we are serious. We are the world and the world is us. To bring about a radical transformation, which is so essential in society, there must be radical transformation in ourselves.
