The state of not-knowing is intelligence

Description of book

1. The role of the teacher - 26 March 1971

Duration: 56 minutes

• Q: There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see

in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or

possibility of growth?

• One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go

into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it we ask for help.

• If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?

• Q: You speak against effort, but doesn't the growth and well-being of all sides

of man demand something like hard work of one sort or another?

• Why is there this cult of effort? Why have I to make effort to reach God,

enlightenment or truth?

• Why do we divide energy at all?

• The observer only comes into being when wanting to change 'what is'.

• The state of not-knowing is intelligence.

2. Inner space - 26 March 1971

Duration: 61 minutes

• Is it possible to be free of the centre, so that the centre doesn't create space

around itself and build a wall?

• Can the centre be still or fade away?

• Can consciousness empty itself of its content?

• Is love within the field of consciousness?

• If you don't form an image now, the past images have no place.

• Q: Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation?

• The company of the good doesn't teach me what is good and what is false or

true. I have to see it.
