"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."
