When the mind is completely quiet, how can there be time?: Gstaad 1965 - Small Group Discussion 6

'When the mind is completely quiet, how can there be time? - 29 August 1965

• What does time mean to you, as a human being?

• Is there such thing as existence?

• Quietness has come because I have understood the nature of time, function,

thought and pleasure.

• What takes place when there is great intensity?

• Thought has a movement in function. Here there is no movement which

thought can recognise, because thought is not coming into this at all.

• When time comes to an end, is there distance and space?

• If you look at the mountain without the layer of thought as function, as the

experiencer, what is space?

• When there is no experiencer, no thinker, in that stillness is there time?

• Time exists only when there is an observer.'
