Direct perception is freedom: Bombay (Mumbai) 1971 - Public Talk 2

'. Direct perception is freedom - 10 February 1971

• Can the mind living in this world ever be free, not only superficially but

profoundly, at the very root of its existence?

• ‘Freedom from’ is an abstraction, but freedom in observing ‘what is’ and going

beyond it is actual freedom.

How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in or do I observe it without the observer?

Without the mind being free you cannot live in order.

Q: Three years have passed; I have no energy to be aware of my reactions. Q: Can we seek God through observation?'
