FREEDOM FROM THE KNOWN
We are second-hand-people. /2
That is the first thing to learn – not to seek. When
you seek you are really only window-shopping. /4
If you try to study yourself according to another
you will always remain a secondhand human being. /
10
Understanding is not an intellectual process. /17
But if you are learning all the time, learning every
minute, learning by watching and listening, learning
by seeing and doing, then you will find that learning
is a constant movement without the past. /17
A confident man is a dead human being. /19
Attention is not the same thing as concentration.
(…) Such awareness is like living with a snake in the
room; you watch its every movement, you are very,
very sensitive to the slightest sound it makes. Such a
state of attention is total energy; in such awareness
the totality of yourself is revealed in an instant. /
26-27
To understand pleasure is not to deny it. /31
