Where there is pleasure there is the shadow of pain

'Where there is pleasure there is the shadow of pain - 21 May 1967

• The whole movement of living, which is relationship, is a movement in action.

• What is consciousness? When do you say, ‘I am conscious, I am aware, I am

attentive’?

• Is there actually a division between the conscious and the unconscious, or it is

a total movement, operating all the time?

• The mind that pursues pleasure must inevitably invite its opposite, which is

pain. The two go together; they are not separate.

• You cannot see totally when you are making effort.

• Q: If you love your own child, your attention to your child is fairly complete, but

if you are a teacher you cannot give attention to all the students.'
