Activity That Perishes, That Is

If We Can Really Understand The Problem, The Answer Will Come Out Of It, Because The Answer Is Not Separate From The Problem.

We Are Empty Shells If We Do Not Possess, If We Do Not Fill Our Life With Furniture, With Music, With Knowledge, With This Or That. And That Shell Makes A Lot Of Noise, And That Noise We Call Living, And With That We Are Satisfied.

Knowledge Is An Addiction, As Drink; Knowledge Does Not Bring Understanding. Knowledge Can Be Taught, But Not Wisdom; There Must Be Freedom From Knowledge For The Coming Of Wisdom.

There Is Always Great Beauty, Not Of Images, Feeling Or Thought. Beauty Is Neither Thought Nor Feeling; It Has Nothing Whatsoever To Do With Emotion Or Sentiment. There Is Fear. Fear Is Never An Actuality; It Is Either Before Or After The Active Present. When There Is Fear In The Active Present, Is It Fear? It Is There And There Is No Escape From It, No Evasion Possible. There, At That Actual Moment, There Is Total Attention At The Moment Of Danger, Physical Or Psychological.

Happy Is The Man Who Is Nothing.
