Living in this world, is that possible? One has to go to the office from nine until five – god knows why. Of course I know why, we all know why – responsibility, money, position, you know, the whole business, nine to five. And there are those who don’t want to go to the office, form a commune and work together in their own land, or whatever it is, that is also another occupation, from nine to five. One has to live in this world, one has to have money, shelter, clothes, that is normal, natural. And can one live with that quality of love, with that quality of intelligence and freedom – they are all one, they are not three separate activities – time, thought, intelligence, love – you understand? – as we know it now, but when there is freedom of this limitation, love without a cause, freedom without a cause, and intelligence without cause, with that state of quality, can one live in this world?
Go to the office, go to a factory, cook, wash dishes, go for a solitary walk even for ten minutes, is that possible living in this terrible world? You have to answer that question, not me. You will answer it only when you have realised that thought is the central issue, that thought is always, under all circumstances, is fragmentary, because knowledge is fragmentary, there can be never complete knowledge. And then meditation is the total denial – ‘denial’ I am using in the right sense of the word – denial of the self, the ‘me’.
