There are a thousand and one questions inside asking for attention. Your very question is coming out of an inner insanity. If you don’t want to be answered, I am ready to answer right now. If you really want to be answered, forget all your questions for two years. Just sit by my side for at least two years not asking anything. Hence this has been Buddha’s constant practice: that whenever a new seeker came to him asking questions, inquiring about truth, God, the afterlife, he would always say: “Wait, don’t be in a hurry. Memories are there, desires are there, and that which was said to you is lost in the turmoil, in the noise.īuddha says: “See it, right now. Or it starts projecting itself into the future, into the world of desires: “If I believe in this, what am I going to attain? What will be the achievement?” The moment the mind comes in, it brings the whole world of the past and the future. It compares with the old prejudices – with the Gita, the Koran, the Bible, and with all your conditionings. Mind starts comparing whether it is right or wrong. Mind brings time, it brings the future and the past. Seeing at once means, don’t bring the mind in. That’s why Buddha says, “If you want to see, see at once,” because if you start thinking you have already missed. You simply reflect that which is without any interference, any judgment, any like or dislike when you don’t say a thing about it, you just function like a mirror. Seeing is a state of no-mind, a state of no-thought, a state of pure awareness. Don't let the mind enter into it.” Can you tell us more about “seeing”? Buddha said, “If you want to see, see at once.
