Transcript:
(00:06) K: After all, can we say the search after God is to give meaning to life? Because we say, 'Well, what is this life?' - transient, frightfully boring, repetitive, destructive, conflict, jealousy, anger, brutality, immense sorrow - which has no meaning. Therefore we must find something much more, something supreme.
(00:56) And this has been the pattern of most religions. You may spit on religious organisations, churches, and temples, and mosques, but the feeling. That feeling is used by the communists to, you know, to sustain superstition and encourage church and then, you know all the business, we don't have to go into all that.
(01:36) So there it is. One has order. That's absolutely imperative because otherwise life is a battle and there is no peace in it. And having order of the highest quality - not the order of the housewife - having order, then the mind is asking: is that all?
(02:47) And knows that to seek something is its own image. Q:That's disorder. K:Yes, it's order and then disorder. Now, it has understood that - understood in the sense not verbally but actually seen, and not seek. Then what? A mind that has done this has become extraordinarily sensitive, highly educated, in the right sense, sensitive, orderly - that quality.
(03:49) And then it says, 'What?' It is still on a very low level. It may be aristocratic and not bourgeois but it is still a very small affair. So the mind says, not seeking, what does it do? Q:It's quiet. K:Be quiet. And then what, sir? Q:Well, I find that… [inaudible] K:Look, sir, to be quiet... You know, I used to walk in Delhi, New Delhi, in a garden,
(04:55) and a poor man used to come on a bicycle every day at that hour when the sun was setting. He used to come on the bicycle, put the bicycle against a tree, sit cross-legged and go completely quiet. His body was completely still. And I watched him every day - I used to walk there every day. And he was probably a clerk of some government department, a horror, but this quietness to him was the very essence of life.
(05:49) He wouldn't miss a day. I walked every day there and he was there every day - Sunday, Saturday, doesn't matter - to him that was - you follow? - bliss. But inwardly he remains a clerk. Sorry, I'm not being snobbish. He remains Khrushchev, if you don't like a clerk [laughs] - he remains that - or Kosygin, or whatever, he remains that.
(06:36) And he was very quiet. No, sir, quietness isn't good enough. Go on, sirs. Because quietness, silence, the meditative mind, the religious quality of the mind, the order - you follow? - discipline, inward vitality, integrity, wholeness, excellence. Q:The quiet mind becomes a very sensitive receiver. K:Now wait a minute, sir. Agreed, one must have that.
(07:28) Not 'agreed' - it's like must have food to have energy, physical energy. You must have this to have energy. Then what? How do you receive something that is not of the mind? How does that mind which is not... which has the quality, which has finesse, which is very, very, very sensitive, alert, watchful - you can't come to that without all the other.
(08:17) You can't jump into it. So, being there, as it were, in this quality of mind, then how does that super-something come? Call it divine or supreme, the unnameable, whatever - because without that, this has very little meaning. Q:There's no sense of separateness. K:Yes, sir, without that this has very little meaning.
(09:06) To become a very normal, healthy, sane human being is all right, is excellent. When we are not sane, not healthy, not balanced, to be balanced, to be healthy, to be whole, sane, is marvellous. But that isn't enough. Q:How can one who has never experienced... K:No, no, that's a wrong question, sir.
(09:42) [Laughter] You see, the moment you use the word 'experience' there must be an experiencer, therefore division, therefore conflict. Which means seeking. After all, when you want experience... when you are seeking you want experience. Either you get it through chemicals, drugs, and marijuana, pot, and grass, and all the rest of it, or inwardly invoke that experience.
(10:13) And all that's too immature. Wipe it all out. [Laughs] Q:I don't know if you can do anything at all. K:No, no. We have finished with that - you can't do anything. You as the observer, the censor, the experiencer, if you do anything you belong to disorder. That's simple. That's clear. No, sir, we can say it's clear because one has done it - otherwise it's not clear.
(11:01) Please, I'm not trying to impress you. You understand? So what then? Q:The mind is completely empty and becomes completely receptive and open to the whole universe. K:You understand, sir, the question? You understand the question? You can have a perfect house, well proportioned, beautiful space, lovely furniture, everything is spotless and fairly comfortable - what? So man says there must be something more.
(12:01) So he runs after it. And now the man says that's no good either. That's finished. I won't seek. It is not a determination; he sees the futility of seeking. Then is he to wait for that supreme touch? Then is he to meditate? Not about the supreme stuff, but to meditate to keep the mind completely empty of everything that it's accumulated, and therefore no accumulation ever.
(13:03) Try it, do it, sirs, you'll see the beauty of this. Is love accumulation, a collection of memories, a collection of images, sex or otherwise? And also one notices, if there is no love, in the right... love in the proper sense in which there is no jealousy, no antagonism - clean - pleasure doesn't touch it
(14:10) enjoyment, joy or... part of love, not pleasure. Have all that. Must have all that. Without love you can't do a thing. So having all that, how does that thing happen? Right, sirs? Because if that doesn't happen, creativeness is merely something you put in the museum. The cook baking bread is also creative.
(15:20) So everything becomes very small, tawdry, limited, futile, meaningless without the other. Now, how does the other happen? Go on, sirs. Waiting is impossible.
(16:48) If the mind waits... Q:It is seeking if it is waiting. Waiting is seeking. K:Waiting, expecting, hoping - then it becomes a tawdry little mind. Q:So to wait is insufficient and to do anything is insufficient. I don't see any alternative. K:Then what do you mean, alternative? Between what? Q:What else is there, between waiting… K:You don't wait.
(17:36) Q:No, that would be… K:Ah, no, see the danger of waiting, what is involved in waiting. Waiting means expecting, hoping. Then you are lost, then you invent something. The mind will cunningly invent a loophole through which it has discovered God. Q:What else is there? K:The moment you say, 'What else is there?' there is nothing.
(18:20) Has the mind come to this point? So that it is free of the past, free of... You know, sir, what all this means? Work. Not in order to receive that. Any of that is a bargaining then. I think then... you see, sirs,
(19:32) then the other seeks such a mind out. Right? Q:I didn't hear you, sorry. K:The other seeks such a mind out. You don't have to run after God - God runs after you. [Laughs]
