Look what is happening in the world – we are being conditioned by society, by the culture we live in, and that culture is the product of man. There is nothing holy, or divine, or eternal about culture.
The very desire to be certain, to be secure, is the beginning of bondage.It’s only when the mind is not caught in the net of certainty, and is not seeking certainty, that it is in a state of discovery.
It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing; but that is not living; To live is to find out for yourself what is true.
Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
