Most of us are educated wrongly. From childhood, we are never taught to be serious. From childhood, we are taught the cultivation, expression and marvels of thought. Our philosophies and books are based on that. When you die to all that, you awaken the terror of not knowing. Knowing gives me security, and knowledge becomes the field of my safety. You ask me to give all that up, to die to all that, and I say, ‘You are insane. How can I die to that, that is part of me?’ So then comes the question, what is living in the present? I’ve lived for 40 years, with all the accumulated memories. What is the present? The present is the death of the content. There is immense beauty in that because that means no conflict, no tomorrow.
