To be free from fear isn’t just to face it. To face it requires enormous passion, which is not pleasure. All that I know as passion is derived from pleasure. I remember the lovely, happy evening that I spent yesterday, the pleasure of sex, the memory of it, the images, all that. And there is the drive to be ambitious, in which there is immense pleasure. In the urge to fulfil, there is pleasure. So to understand fear and to go beyond it, I must understand all these things, not only pleasure but thought; how thought breeds fragmentation. That fragmentation brings about confusion, and therefore I am incapable of action which doesn’t further breed more confusion. So I have to understand this whole thing.
