entity mind nature problem problems root solve stuff understood unless whether
The root problem of all problems is mind itself. The first thing to be understood is what this mind is, of what stuff it is made; whether it is an entity or just a process; whether it is substantial, or just dreamlike. And unless you know the nature of the mind, you will not be able to solve any problems of your life.

As far as I am concerned, I have never planned anything; I have simply lived, wondering what is going to happen next.
beautiful becomes fixated mean mind obsessed
So when I say it I mean it, and it is not a hypothesis. I have experienced It that way. The mind can be used and can be put aside. It is an instrument, a very beautiful instrument; no need to be so obsessed with it. No need to be so fixed, fixated with it. Then it becomes a disease.

addicted cannot countries days few happen learn meditation miss physical rather wherever work works
You must learn to work without me. You cannot be here always, you have other works to do. You have come from different countries all over the world. For a few days you will be here with me. If you become addicted to my physical presence, then rather than being a help, it may become a disturbance. Because then when you go away, you will miss me.

art closer coming mystery saying seeker sought thou ultimate understand within
I am saying something about the ineffable. I am saying something about the ultimate mystery. You can understand it, yet you can never understand it totally. It is elusive, it escapes. It is within reach, but it is not within grasp. You are always coming closer and closer to it, but you never arrive. And the day you arrive, then you are no more there; the distinction between the seeker and the sought disappears. Then you are it. That art thou -- then you are it!
barriers continue drop past possible revolution trying
I am trying in every possible way to drop all those things, which in the past have been barriers for the revolution to continue and grow.

Pleasure is more distracting.... Pleasure tends to make you unconscious.
capable hours man mind puts putting tape
