When You Change Radically It Affects All Mankind Can you, representing the common factor of humanity, bring about a regeneration of your mind? This investigation implies that you must be free to look at your life. What is the root of conflict? Can we live in a relationship with each other in which there is no conflict whatsoever? Why is there in us a dual process of thinking? In daily life can you drop the opposite and your ideal and deal only with "what is"? Jealousy is common to all mankind. Will you observe that feeling without naming it? We are caught in conflicting desires? Why does thought create the image out of which desire is born? Can the brain record only that which is essential? If you transform yourself you bring a great blessing on the world. |

Can There Be a Regeneration of the Mind? There is a great deal of psychological interference with what we observe. Can one observe without the past interfering? Why do we live in the past, act from the past? Is it because the past is more secure and the future is totally uncertain? If you don't create images, is there fear? Why does thought create pictures of the past or future which breed fear? Isn't thought, which is time, another factor of fear? Can one register only that which is necessary and not build the psychological structure of the "me"? Fear and love cannot exist together. Total clarity of the mind is innocence. |

What Makes Our Lives So Disorderly and Confused? Is breaking away from disorder more frightening than to live in it? Pleasure is one of the major factors of disorder. Throughout the world, why do we pursue pleasure? What is the nature and structure of pleasure? Enjoyment is not pleasure. Love is the flame that burns away meanness & brutality. Is love related to pleasure and desire? Does an ambitious man know love? Where there is fear there can be no love. Can the sorrow in human beings end? Is sorrow always associated with an incident or is there sorrow by itself? Death is part of our life. Can I live with death always as my shadow? |

Meditation Is the Flowering That Has No Motive Are we heavily conditioned? Is the entity who wishes to break down conditioning different from the conditioning itself? Doesn't the division between the observer and the observed waste energy? Is the observer at the very root of conflict? Will it take time to break down conditioning. Is there psychological time at all? Can your mind end its state of constantly being occupied? When there is disorder there is dissipation of energy. Is all reality put together by thought? Can thought being fragmented investigate the immeasurable? For meditation there must be immense energy. Meditation does not seek anything, because it is without time, without the "me". |

A Religious Mind? What is going to happen to us when the computer can do almost everything that we do? What is the relationship of life to love, death and to the search for something beyond thought? Is there continuity or is there constant change? Are your name, form, ideas, conclusions the factor of continuity as the "me"? What are the implications of attachment? If one sees the truth that you are the rest of mankind then what is death, what is the nature of ending? Why do we constantly measure, compare? If we are free of measurement, then what are we? Through systems, practice, do you become dull? Meditation is the understanding of the whole structure of the "me". |

A Different Quality of Life What is the art of listening, observing? Are you listening to what the speaker has to say or are you listening to his reputation? Are we conditioned to think we are individuals? What is the cause of this appalling violence? Is it the conflict that exists in each of us the competition against each other? Facing all this, what is your action? What are problems and how do we meet them? Can one have a brain that is free to solve problems? We are the rest of humanity, psychologically, inwardly. Can we look at the world globally? Is knowledge the enemy of love? Do you love anybody? |
|
The Endless Cycle of Action and Reaction Can you live not recording inwardly? What is implied in asking "how"? Is there a state where the brain isn't reacting? If thought is a material process, what are we? Is there an observer different from anger? Why do you have duality? Why do we have psychological conflict at all? When you remain with the fact what takes place? Is time the enemy of man? Can thought touch the limitless? To live religiously needs great intelligence. |
|
A Deep Abiding Honesty What is fear, how does it arise? What is the root of fear? What are the past, the present, and the future? The past is time, isn't it? Is the root of fear, time/thought? What is the art of living so that one is not afraid of death? Is there an end to sorrow? To whom am I attached? Is order conformity or does it come through the awareness of one's disorder? Isn't division the root of disorder? While living can one find out the significance of death? |

The Sense of Unshakeable Freedom Is love a matter of choice, a reaction? Is there a freedom which is not a reaction? Is desire born from the object perceived? Can there be an interval between seeing, contact, sensation before thought makes a shape of it? Isn't the meditation we do born out of desire? Can your brain stop measuring?

When the brain is silent there is that which is eternal, nameless. |

Q3: Since you say that there is no such thing as god, then the question of how we are born and how nature came into existence comes into the picture. Kindly explain. Q4: What is the mind? Is it ever possible for it to look at itself without the perceiver? Q5: The logic of the statement, the observer is the observed, doesn't seem to go beyond the intellectual level. Why is it certain facts remain concepts? |
