For most of us, knowledge has become a dead weight, a heavy stone around our necks; it has become our habit, our conditioning. The mind that is serious must be free to observe; it must be free of this dead weight, which is knowledge, experience and tradition, which is accumulated memory, the past. To observe actually βwhat isβ, to see the whole significance of βwhat isβ, the mind must be fresh, clear, undivided.
