Public Discussions
8. The observer and the observed - 2 August 1972
Duration: 93 minutes
• Q: How can I learn about myself?
• I want to learn about myself without conclusion because conclusion prevents
looking at the fact.
• There is the observer and the thing observed. When there is an observer there
must be division and conflict.
• I am not a harmonious whole, I am fragmented because I hate and love, I am
ambitious and greedy.
• The observer is the cause of division. How is the observer not to divide himself?
• Can the mind respond totally to every challenge so that there is no conflict and
therefore no observer?
9. The problem of existence - 3 August 1972
Duration: 81 minutes
• Q: What is the factor of distortion in life?
• Why does a human being who wants to live a harmonious life gradually go to
pieces?
• What is it that goes wrong? Is it duality: the good and the bad, love and hate?
• Are there opposites psychologically, or is there only one factor?
• A mind that is acting in the past or in the future, that is caught in nationalism or
religious beliefs, contributes to war.
10. Total attention - 4 August 1972
Duration: 90 minutes
• Q: Can one sustain total attention?
• When you observe the mountains, the trees or yourself with sufficient attention
and energy, the observer with all its conditioning is absent.
• Can one maintain this sense of total attention continuously?
• Be aware of inattention. Awareness of inattention is attention.
• We compare, measure, conform and identify with ideals.
• The more we identify with something that gives pleasure the more we are
attached to it.
• What takes place when there is no identification? We then deal with facts and
that gives tremendous vitality
11. Fragmentary action and total action - 5 August 1972
Duration: 81 minutes
• Discussion with young people
• How does youth respond to the modern challenge?
• Young people live and act fragmentarily. Do you see that this is unintelligent
action?
• How is the mind to acquire an intelligence that will act intelligently in all
things?
• Do you see for yourself the challenge that the house is burning, politically,
religiously, socially? How do you respond? Do you see it right away,
non-verbally?
• Why do we see things in words first? Words are ideas, thoughts, formulas
which then become a remembrance.
• There is an action which is totally complete when there is no ideation or
prejudice. Being young, can you listen with a mind that is young?
12. Conclusions prevent looking - 6 August 1972
Duration: 90 minutes
• Q: Is it possible to learn what observation is?
• Most of us live in ideas, beliefs and concepts. Why does the mind create
images, words, opinions and judgements?
• The mind is lazy. It is easier to live with an image than with a fact. How am I to
stop image-making?
• Looking at a tree as though for the first time, its beauty brings tears to your
eyes.
• See the hills and shadows as you have never seen them before. See your friend,
husband or wife for the first time.
• See yourself without any image and realize that you are nothing. In that there
is vast beauty. Then you will know what truth is
13. The sacred in life - 7 August 1972
Duration: 91 minutes
• Q: What is the significance of sleep, death, dreams and meditation?
• If life during the day is orderly, the brain is absolutely quiet. Sleep then is
without dreams and when the brain wakes up it has vitality.
• To see clearly the mind must be quiet. How is thought to be quiet?
• The mind empty of thought can use thought and live with thought in harmony.
This is meditation.
• That which is sacred is the moment when thought is not, the quality of mind
that is completely empty.
• Out of emptiness, space, silence thought can operate
14. Are you aware of your conditioning? - 8 August 1972
Duration: 77 minutes
• Is time needed to be free of conditioning?
• We use time as measure, both outwardly and inwardly. Is time necessary for
psychological understanding or to be free from habit?
• The mind is conditioned religiously, psychologically and socially. Does it take
time to break down conditioning?

• We don’t want to go beyond the narrow field of conditioning and in that lies
sorrow.
• Is it possible at one glance to see the poisonous nature of all conditioning
