Meditation is giving thought its right place - J Krishnamurti



are having a dialogue... ...as a conversation between two people, friendly... ...serious and wanting to solve their own intimate personal problems. And so they go for a walk in the woods and talk over things together. And we are in that position, you and I, the speaker and you... ...we are out for a walk, lovely stream, marvellous pine woods... ...full of morning scent, and we are talking over together. And each one of us know that words have a particular definite meaning... ...that each one of us understands the meaning of the words they use. They know the words and the content of the word... ...the meaning of the word, the significance of the word... ...so they use the word which is common to both of them. And they also know that the word is not the thing... ...and the words do not actually convey the deep inner feelings. They are feeling it out together because they are good friends. They are not opposed to each other... ...they are not trying to trick each other, they have known each other... ...for long years and they have often talked about these things and so... ...they are willing to expose themselves to each other; point out their... ...difficulties, their problems, and each one is trying... ...to understand the other, and hoping to help each other. That is really a dialogue. They have established a good relationship between them. So can we, this morning, have such a dialogue? And we talked about yesterday, the nature of attention, care and love. So what shall we talk over together this morning? estione ould we investigate why it is so difficult for us... ...to actually experience here and now all the psychological... ...inhibitions that we have that block us from loving? uld we investigate together our psychological inhibitions... ...our psychological barriers now. Talk it over together, the gentleman asks. w can the mind be free of cunning intelligence... ...which society and all the education pushes on us to develop? w can the mind be free from the cunning... ...which thought has put together there. at is the quality of the mind which observes silently? Is it something probably new to us... ...or is it something that we possess already but we have forgotten? Is that clear? uld you say what is intelligence? uld you discuss what is intelligence. there a difference between voluntary isolation which obviously... ...creates conflict and the involuntary isolation, such as being blind? olation, and forced isolation through some kind of illness... ...which is forced, and voluntary, willing isolation. Is that it? uld we discuss the constant and mechanical activity of the brain... ...of thoughts that are shouting all the time? chanical? Why does thought always occur... ...why is there not a freedom at any time from the movement of thought? u tell us that fear is produced by thought but I myself... ...have experienced that fear manifests itself in thought and it wants... ...to structure and limit itself, and escape from itself by thinking. u say fear is the result of thought, produced by thought... , thought is the result of fear. ought is the result of fear - you follow? He is putting fear first and thought afterwards. Right? s. ght. uld we talk about the process of identification also? uld we discuss why the mind seeks identification... ...why we seek identification. find it extremely difficult to take part in these discussions... ...because I am always in doubt whether it is a right or a wrong question. How can I find out myself, are there any guidelines? w can one find out for oneself what is a right question... ...and a wrong question. Is that it sir? s. r, I asked why do you call the usual meditation... ...which is sitting down with closed eyes, self-hypnosis? I asked this question because I have the feeling...1 ...that it is through that that I can understand when you say beauty...1 ...is something entirely different, love is something entirely different.1 didn't hear. didn't hear either (laughs).1 I'm afraid we haven't understood.1 (Question repeated)1 y are you saying that sitting down quietly, crossed legs...1 ...closed eyes and going through all that is self-hypnosis.1 I somehow feel that I am very close to what you are saying...1 ...why are you saying that is not meditation?1 Why do you say it is self-hypnosis. That's enough.1 Now which of these shall we take up - all connected with the mind.1 All these questions, I don't know if you have observed...1 ...if you've listened, are dealing with the nature of thought, the nature...1 ...of the mind, what is intelligence, and what is meditation - right?1 Now which of these shall we take?1 n we go on with yesterday's talk?1 I had the feeling we didn't go over it completely?1 uld we go on discussing, talking over together...1 ...yesterday's meeting because the questioner says...1 ...'I don't feel we have gone through completely to the very end of it'.1 So we have got two questions, fundamental question :50...thought with all its complexities, its mechanical habits...1 ...its constant activity, never a moment that it is quiet, meditation...1 ...and what we talked about yesterday - love, intelligence, compassion.1 Now which of these do you want? ve.1 e is rather shy of that word because it is so spoilt - love of God...1 ...love of my family, love of poems, go for a lovely walk - you follow?1 Sex, the politicians use the love of the country...1 ...love of God, love of Jesus, love of Krishna and so on, so on, so on.1 So one is hesitant to use that word.1 So perhaps, if I may suggest...1 ...we will talk about that question which you have asked by enquiring first...1 ...we are discussing, we are talking over together, it is not a solitary...1 ...conversation with oneself - if we could go into this question...1 ...of meditation, then we may be able to understand whether it is...1 ...possible for thought to be absolutely quiet...1 ...and not compelled, coerced, forced, all the rest of it.1 And perhaps if we could take that question and go into it very...1 ...very deeply then perhaps we can also enter...1 ...into the field of what is intelligence, love, compassion.1 And without those, which is the essence of that love...1 ...the mind can never be totally free from all its manifestations...1 ...its trickery, its deceits and dishonesty.1 So would it be all right if we talked about that?1 s.1 u are not pleasing me, please...1 ...I don't care, if you want to talk about something else, we will.1 All right.1 The first question, if I may as s it possible to have a brain...1 ...that is not twisted, that is not neurotic, that is very healthy, young?1 I am asking that as the first question.1 Do you understand?1 I am asking, to put it very simpl an the mind remain young...1 ...and not grow old, decay, corrupt, but keep its quality of youth?1 ...youth being - please listen - decision, action and vitality.1 Right?1 That is generally accepted as the meaning of youth - to have an enormous...1 ...amount of energy, decision - acting, and that sense of freedom.1 That, I think, would more or less describe what is a young mind.1 Would you agree to that?1 A definition, we can change it, I am not sticking to those words...1 ...but to have a mind that is extra- -ordinarily clear, simple, having great...1 ...energy, vitality and capable of instant decision and action. Right?1 Would you agree to that? s.1 at is only a definition, you can change the definition...1 ...change it how you like, but let's all agree, if you accept that...1 ...that is the quality of a mind that is young, that is not hurt...1 ...that has no problems, that is living, living...1 ...not in the future or in the past, but actually living in the present.1 That is, again I said one...1 ...is using words to convey the quality of a mind that is youthful.1 If we agree to that definition, that definition can be changed as you like.1 Now how can that mind come into being?1 That is the first thing.1 You understand my question? You are following?1 r, wouldn't you need to use your body intelligence and not your mind?2 it, I'm coming... There is the intelligence of the body...2 ...the intelligence which has been spoilt by indulgence...2 ...by drugs, by drink, alcohol, all that extravagance.2 And so the intelligence of the body...2 ...the body has its own intelligence if left alone, not destroyed...2 ...not corrupted by taste, by desire and all the rest of it.2 The body has its own intelligence, if you have observed it.2 So we'll leave that for the moment.2 All right, if we must go into it much deeper, we will.2 Our mind is the result of our senses.2 Right? Isn't that so?2 This is science, this is just natural.2 And we don't exercise all the senses together.2 Right?2 Are you following this?2 But exaggerate one or two senses and so there is never a balance.2 I do not know if you have experimented...2 ...or watched this, or are aware of your senses.2 Either one or two senses dominate and the other senses are in abeyance...2 ...or not totally functioning, and so there is always inequality...2 ...always imbalance in the activity of our senses. Right?2 You are following all this? Please do follow this!2 Don't go to sleep because we are coming into it.2 So is it possible that all our senses work together totally, harmoniously?2 That is the first question, because our whole structure...2 ...is based on senses, perception, taste, touch and all that.2 Now if there is imbalance in our senses...2 ...our brain, our mind is affected, naturally.2 And from this imbalance there is neurotic activity.2 So is it possible - please go into it with me, it is a dialogue...2 ...I am not giving a speech - can we see the movement of the sky...2 ...the clouds, the shadows on the mountain with all our senses together?2 You understand my question?2 Will you do it as you are sitting there, observing yourself?2 Please, as I said yesterday, unless you apply, actually apply, do it...2 ...you can sit there for the next 50 years you will do nothing.2 But if you apply, actually work it out, then you will see for yourself...2 ...that as long as there is imbalance in the senses the mind...2 ...which is also part of the senses, part of thought...2 ...then that imbalance invariably creates disharmony. Right?2 Do it please, as you are sitting there, observe it, actually apply.2 uld you give a concrete example...2 ...of what you mean by imbalance of the senses?2 ncrete example of imbalance of the senses.2 I am not good at giving examples.2 I think examples are wrong because you have to find out.2 If one gives an example that becomes the pattern.2 You follow?2 And then you say, 'I must conform to that', or 'No, that example...2 ...is not good, a better example' and so on, we battle with examples.2 I hope you understand this.2 I can think out an exampl :51...sex, drugs, various forms of sensory entertainments, where only...2 ...the eye or the ear functions, not the totality of all the senses.2 You understand all this?2 So, the mind - are you all...? Am I talking...?2 As the gentleman pointed out the other day, I am performing.2 He said that.2 I am performing and doing an excellent performance...2 ...which is a rather unpleasant word but there it is.2 And this is a dialogue between you and me...2 ...so don't please become quiet and just listen.2 So that is part of the mind. n we neglect the condition...2 ...of the brain when we talk about the same mind?2 en we use the word 'mind', sir...2 ...we are including in the 'mind' all the activity of the senses...2 ...all the activities of thought, all the activities of emotions...2 ...whether imagined or real, romantic, sentimental...2 ...all that, the whole of human activity is the mind.2 At least I look at it that way. You may look at it differently...2 ...but as we are two friends talking over together I change my vocabulary...2 ...you change your words, but we mean the same thing.2 That is, the mind contains, holds, all the senses, all the emotions...2 ...all the romantic, sentimental attitudes, values...2 ...and also the enormous complexity of thought, the memories...2 ...the experiences, the hurts, the wounds that one has received...2 ...from childhood, psychologically, inwardly, and the intention...2 ...the motive, the drive, the desires, all that is the mind.2 love in the mind?2 are coming to tha s love part of the mind?2 Do you understand the question? Is love contained in the mind?2 What do you say? Dialogue please.2 . ?2 is not in the mind.2 e lady says, it is not in the mind.2 Then is it outside the mind?2 Sir, go into it for yourself, it is a dialogue.2 rhaps the mind is part of love. e mind is part of love.3 Go very carefully into this, please.3 You think it out sir, go into it, dialogue.3 Is love remembrance?3 Go into it madame, just look at it. I am asking you.3 Is love something that has happened and you remember it?3 Therefore I am asking, is love part of remembrance?3 You have been kind to me...3 ...I remember it and therefore I have affection for you.3 You know - remembering. Is love a remembrance?3 If it is not, is it then within the structure and nature of the mind?3 This is a very difficult question, please don't just slip it by.3 That is why I want to go into this carefully.3 We have defined more or less - that definition can be changed...3 ...the nature of the mind, with all the senses so on, so on.3 And all this is predominated by thought. Right?3 That is the central activity - right?3 ...that controls the senses, exaggerates the senses, gives importance...3 ...to a certain sense and not to the others, that creates images...3 ...conclusions, aggressiveness, assertiveness.3 All that is the activity of thought.3 Right?3 So thought predominates all our activity...3 ...including the senses, dominating the intelligence of the body.3 You are following all this?3 So thought is the central factor that is constantly operating...3 ...controlling, deciding, changing, modifying, pursuing...3 ...establishing a goal and driving towards that, and the past...3 ...with all its memories, anxieties, all that...3 ...the whole of that is the activity of the mind, which is thought.3 Right? You are quite sure?3 Please discuss with me. Please!3 l the senses give the same sensation to the mind.3 l the senses in the mind are equal. e same response.3 me value. s.3 the mind, but the thought says this is better than that. s.3 at is all, we are saying that.3 en thought is consuming the senses, the senses become dull.3 en thought exercises, dominates, the senses become dull.3 Could we move from this - right sir?3 Right? Can we move on?3 Now meditation is part of thinking, otherwise you wouldn't meditate.3 Right? Would you? No?3 meditation a non-thinking? are going to go into it.3 But first see when you start meditating...3 ...sitting quietly, closing your eyes, it is the activity of thought.3 First because you want to achieve...3 ...or feel good in that position, doing something. Right?3 So thought has brought this about through desire. No?3 Please, this is not very complex.3 I sit in that position, cross-legged, or whatever it is...3 ...it is called the lotus position, close my eyes because...3 ...I have been taught, or I have read, or I have heard somebody...3 ...that if you do this, you will have a marvellous experience.3 sir. I do it but only to watch my thoughts.3 it. That is a different matter, sir.3 You see the difference?3 I do it because I want to achieve certain experience...3 ...because I have read about it, or have been told about it...3 ...and it gives you certain pleasure, I feel rather relieved, relaxed.3 Right?3 And I maintain that, giving more and more importance to my feeling...3 ...of certain pleasure, certain experience, certain state of mind.3 And I practise, go on doing it.3 But the origin of that is the movement of thought. Right?3 at you are talking about is the practice of meditation...3 ...but within this practice meditation can come about.3 But there is a difference, suddenly something else could happen.3 s, this is the practice of meditation...3 ...and in that something suddenly can happen.3 Right sir? s.3 What happens is real meditation. I mean it is just a question of words.3 r, we are investigating. Right?3 You are jumping to conclusions, you are saying it happens.3 I question the whole thing.3 r, when we sit quietly to watch our minds...3 ...our eyes get naturally shut and we become quiet.3 We don't sit with our eyes purposely shut so as to come to meditation.3 r, the speaker has played with all this. Right?3 This is not something new you are telling me.3 So have patience.3 I have been through all thi :50...sitting quietly, breathing, repeating, hoping for something to happen!3 Nonsense.4 You are not meeting my poin hy do I meditate?4 Why does one meditate? cause we are agitated.4 en you are agitated, nervous, anxious, crowded with innumerable...4 ...problems, by sitting quietly we hope to get away slightly from that.4 t hope sir, just watch.4 s, just relax till you are overcome again.4 But - forgive me - you are missing my point of view, what I am saying...4 ...which is, all this is the origin of thought, origin of desire.4 No? Right sir?4 Why are you hesitant? What's wrong with it?4 s.4 n thought not see it's own uselessness...4 ...and stop because it sees it is useless?4 u seem to think madame, and the others, that I am opposed to meditation.4 I am totally, completely opposed to the meditation that you are all doing...4 ...because that is not meditation, because I have been through all this.4 ybe we must investigate what you mean by meditation.4 explained what the word means, madame.4 The word means to think over, to ponder, to investigate, to concentrate in...4 ...order to look at your problems, and all that is involved in that one word.4 r, if you are opposed to our meditation are you not creating a division?4 cuse me, I withdraw that word 'oppose'.4 What one is doing, what is called meditation is not meditation.4 All right.4 It is the same thing sir. I am not opposed to it.4 I am just saying what one considers meditation, if you are willing...4 ...to examine what the other person has to say, he says that is not meditation.4 Meditation is something much more complex, more etc., (laughs)4 So we are two friends talking over, I am not opposing you.4 We are talking this over.4 We say meditation begins with desire, with thought.4 Right?4 You hear somebody from Tibet, from India, from Zen...4 ...from god knows what other place, and he expounds what meditation is.4 He says, 'Do it, sit down quietly...4 ...I will give you a system to make you calm, restful, relaxed'.4 So your thought accepts it...4 ...desires to achieve it, and you sit in that position.4 Right?4 This is so obvious, what are you objecting to?4 uld you say because the idea started a meditation...4 ...all meditation is only idea? at's right, sir.4 That's what I am saying differently.4 So meditation begins with thought.4 Right?4 And desire says, 'I must achieve that something which I experienced...4 ...yesterday in the sitting quietly, and I want that, I want it to continue'.4 I practise, I force, I follow a system - all the activity of thought.4 That's all. What are you objecting to?4 metimes I've meditated to go out of identification.4 have meditated for a couple of hours...4 ...the questioner says, to get away from myself.4 Right?4 Is meditation an escape? 's a temporary relief.4 en take a drug (laughter), take a thing that quietens your nerves.4 You see, sir, you are not following all this, you are wasting time!4 Temporary relief, temporary excitement, temporary experience...4 ...temporary quietness, all that you call meditation.4 My lord, how that word has been misused!4 Could we get on with it a little bit?4 suppose that you are doing the same because you say that you want...4 ...to be free and therefore you look at your feelings, problems.4 am not sir. I am sorry you have misunderstood.4 I am not doing that.4 uld it be that one cannot force meditation, but it is the ultimate?4 r, could we stick to one thing?4 We are saying, we are asking...4 ...we have gone so far, which is, what is the nature of the mind?4 We talked about that.4 And that mind is dominated by thought.4 Thought is perpetually in activity...4 ...when you are sleeping, when you are awake...4 ...when you are walking, when you are by yourself, it is constantly moving.4 And that becomes a strain - right? - that becomes nervous, anxious.4 To bring about a quietness, a relief...4 ...a sense of peace you try to 'meditate' - quote meditation.4 And achieve a little bit of that...4 ...and you practise it, and you call that meditation.4 I say please that is not meditation.4 It is something much wider, deeper, that requires a great deal of enquiry...4 ...so please listen, exchange, not say, meditation is this...4 ...meditation is that, it appeals to me, it doesn't appeal to me.4 Then we stop discussing.4 Whereas we say, look, let's find out.4 Right?4 ishnaji, I admit I don't know what meditation is.4 Could we go into what meditation is? am doing it sir (laughs).4 it possible to know what meditation is at all?4 it possible to know what meditation is at all.4 ow it all, what meditation is.4 s, sir, that is what I am saying.4 Could we put it this wa :18...when you deliberately set about to meditate, it is not meditation.4 Right?4 Because behind that deliberate act is desire, behind that...4 ...is thought having come to a conclusion, pursuing that conclusion.4 We say that is not meditation.4 You may say, you are wrong. I say, all right, let's talk it over.4 So thought dominates.5 Right? That's simple and clear.5 No?5 All our activities, whether you meditate, whether you sit down...5 ...you practise, you try to force the mind to be quiet...5 ...all that is still the activity of thought.5 And is love the activity of thought?5 Right?5 Go on sir.5 Let's talk it over.5 Does the activity of thought...5 ...bring about right relationship between two people?5 Because if you haven't established right relationship with...5 ...one another you can sit on your legs crossed for the rest of your life.5 Unless you lay the foundation of relationship...5 ...having no conflict and so on, so on, any form of meditation...5 ...is just an escape into another series of illusions.5 So is love the activity of thought?5 t doesn't seem so.5 I love you.5 I really do.5 Isn't it strange!5 n't love the absence of thought? Because if you were thinking about...5 ...what some of us have done, you probably wouldn't love them.5 w sad it is. therefore, um…5 mebody, sir, somebody comes and tells you 'I love you, old boy...5 ...I love you', you don't go on with your thinking, do you?5 You just listen to him. ght.5 u don't. , isn't that, um...?5 aughs) You are all so infantile. (Laughter)5 And we are asking, is love the activity of thought?5 Is love the activity of the senses?5 Is love the activity of desire?5 Please find out, investigate in your life.5 When you are controlled, when your sex becomes all important...5 ...which is the activity of the senses.5 have to be aware of this activity then.5 e has to be aware sir, but first know the nature of one's mind.5 Through awareness you can discover this, that means...5 ...you have to look at it, look at your desires, the sensory desires.5 Wanting food, the taste of food...5 ...the compulsive eating food of a certain kind because it tastes nice...5 ...exercising a certain capacity of the eyes, optical...5 ...seeing something always, or the sensory responses of sex.5 These are the dominant factors in our life...5 ...and you are trying to move away from that.5 ve can only be a part of thought.5 e you saying sir, thought is part of love?5 , I am saying love is the product of thought.5 no!5 Love is the product of thought.5 Sir, when you say, it can only be, it must be...5 ...you have already come to a conclusion, you have stopped investigating.5 u asked the question, is love part of thought?5 s, is love part of thought?5 Which means does love contain...5 ...the whole movement and the complexity of thought?5 You understand?5 If it contains thought, is that love?5 You don't even go into it, look at it.5 don't know the word in English.5 I know in French.5 I think it is 'L'?tat' or (inaudible) in German.5 state.5 e says it is a state of being.5 Un ?tat.5 , steady, you are using Sanskrit.5 I want to be careful!5 I am also pretty good at all this sir, don't play with it.5 You are all so... We have gone beyond this madame.5 Please go on.5 just want to ask you a question about meditation, if I may.5 I seem to have been under the illusion, the delusion...5 ...that the best things of which I do is done for me effortlessly.5 Now is this my illusion completely?5 says that he meditates effortlessly.5 Is that an illusion?5 must understand when you say...5 ...'I meditate effortlessly', what do you mean by that word 'effort'.5 lie down and the process begins within, in which all I need to do...5 ...is release the mind, my thinking process to it.5 I don't make any effort to release, it just happens.5 r, when you know you are meditating, it is not meditation.5 ere are moments when I don't know I am meditating.5 Isn't that meditation? ve you listened to what I said sir?5 s sir.5 en you know you are meditating, it is not meditation.5 Oh, you don't know, no.5 You don't see the beauty of all this.5 You are just going on and on and on.5 am trying to find out, sir.5 ishnaji, thought is so fragmented… (inaudible)5 y do you meditate at all?5 You have never even asked that question.5 What you call meditation, why do you do it?5 Is it that they have brought it from India...5 ...from Tibet, from Japan and you like to play with it?5 r, when one is angry, for example...5 ...when I have been angry, or I have a problem, I am in conflict.5 If I do, we are both agreed it is not meditation...5 ...but just sitting down quietly to watch my thoughts.5 s sir, that is just when you are angry...5 ...to examine it, to go into it, it is not meditation.5 is not meditation, but it is useful.5 s, sir, yes sir. I agree.5 To be aware that you have been angry...5 ...to go into the whole question of anger, that is not meditation.5 t he says it is useful, Krishnaji?5 t the meditation that you are talking about.6 I said when you know you are meditating, it is not meditation.6 Swallow that pill and look at it! (Laughter)6 r, cannot love itself take me away from the realm of thought?6 ditation helps me to get away from myself, from my thoughts.6 Then go to a cinema. (Laughter)6 n love? Love. Love. Can love itself help me?6 n love take him away from the realm of thought?6 n love take him away from the realm of thought?6 You understand the question?6 Can love bring about freedom from the realm of thought?6 You understand?6 Can love free the mind from the activities of thought?6 What do you say? Don't look at me.6 What do you say?6 r, thought itself, isn't thought itself answering that question?6 r, it is a very good question.6 The mind is incessantly active, sleeping, waking, daydreaming...6 ...sitting quietly, when it is not under control pop comes the thought in.6 So does love free the mind from the activities of thought?6 No!6 You see what you have done?6 You are using love as a means of escape from thought.6 But if you have understood the nature of thought - please follow this...6 ...and thought gives its own right place, then you don't have to move...6 ...away from it, thought has established itself in its right place.6 You understand this?6 Then love is not an escape, or an avoidance, or moving away from thought.6 that meditation? at?6 that meditation, he asks.6 aughs) Sir, as I said, when you know you are meditating - right?6 ...sitting in that position, breathing, repeating a mantra...6 ...all that, when there is that activity, it is not meditation.6 I will tell you why, if you will listen.6 All that is the activity of desire and thought.6 Obviously.6 A guru comes along - I don't know why they do...6 ...unfortunately they do, comes along and he says, 'Do this and you will...6 ...have the most marvellous experience of God, or of enlightenment.'6 'You will have extraordinary experience'.6 And he lays down certain systems, methods, practices...6 ...and we being gullible, not having the quality of scepticism...6 ...to question him, we say, 'All right Swami,' - or Lord...6 ...or whatever you call him and we practise it.6 And in the very practising of it you have certain quietness...6 ...certain experience and that delights you.6 You say, 'At last I have got something'.6 Right?6 And I say that is the activity of desire, activity of thought...6 ...which has projected an image of something to be experienced.6 And that image can be experienced only through certain practices, certain...6 ...repetition of words, especially in Sanskrit, that sounds far better!6 And so you repeat it.6 But it is still the activity of thought and desire.6 So unless you understand this, what is the nature of thought...6 ...what is the nature of desire, gone into it, given it its right place...6 ...and thought gives itself its right place, then you will be everlastingly...6 ...battling with thought, with all the images that it has created.6 That is very simple. No?6 r, is love denied by thought?6 Is it covered over, if there wasn't thought would there be love?6 asked, when there is thought is there love?6 No!6 But if there is no thought you can be in a state of amnesia.6 psychoanalysis a form of meditation?6 aughs) This is getting worse and worse! (Laughter)6 Is psychoanalysis a form of meditation.6 Do you know what psychoanalysis is?6 Investigating into the past.6 Psychoanalysis, analysing oneself, either by the professional...6 ...psychotherapist, psychologist, psychoanalyst...6 ...Freudian, Jungian, Adlerian...6 ...and innumerable names, or you investigate yourself, analyse yourself.6 Who is the analyser and what is he analysing?6 Is not the analyser the analysed?6 So he is playing a trick upon himself.6 You don't see all this.6 So analysis, either psychotherapeutic of various group therapies, you know...6 ...all that is going on, various forms of psychotherapy, is not meditation.6 Good lord!6 Think what we have reduced meditation to!6 r, the beginning of the proces
