A Mind That Practices Love

Knowledge About Yourself Binds, Weighs, Ties You Down; There Is No Freedom To Move, And You Act And Move Within The Limits Of Thatknowledge. Learning About Yourself Is Never The Same As Accumulating Knowledge About Yourself. Learning Is Active Present And Knowledge Is The Past; If You Are Learning To Accumulate, It Ceases To Be Learning; Knowledge Is Static, More Can Be Added To It Or Taken Away From It, But Learning Is Active, Nothing Can Be Added Or Taken Away From It For There Is No Accumulation At Any Time.

When We Talk About Understanding, Surely It Takes Place Only When The Mind Listens Completely - The Mind Being Your Heart, Your Nerves, Your Ears- When You Give Your Whole Attention To It.

There Is No Ideal In Observation. When You Have An Ideal, You Cease To Observe, You Are Then Merely Approximating The Present To The Idea, And Therefore There Is Duality, Conflict, And All The Rest Of It. The Mind Has To Be In The State When It Can See, Observe. The Experience Of The Observation Is Really An Astonishing State. In That There Is No Duality. The Mind Is Simply - Aware.

The Mind Gives Meaning To Anything But The Meaning It Gives Is Meaningless.

Beyond All Explanations Which A Good Brain Can Give, Why Do We Choose The Worse And Not The Better, Why Hate Rather Than Love, Why Greed And Not Generosity, Why Self-centred Activity And Not Open Total Action? Why Be Mean When There Are Soaring Mountains And Flashing Streams? Why Jealousy And Not Love? Why?
