Intellectually, we understand the Observer is the observed. But what is necessary to perceive this so that it goes beyond the intellectual level?
Intellectually, we understand that the Observer is the observed. But this is but what is necessary to perceive this so that it goes beyond the intellectual level? The question is, what is necessary to go beyond this intellectual acceptance that the Observer is the observed? Right?
First of all, do we even intellectually accept it? You're, do you even intellect that is ver logically discerning and saying yes, it is so logically because beened out objectively logically and you say yes? Is that so? Do you even intellectually accept that, or just a lot of words floating around?
But if you do accept it intellectually, what does that acceptance mean? When you say, when you say, "I intellect agree with you," what does that mean? It means absolutely nothing. It's just a form of con convenient social acceptance, saying, "Yes, you're quite right," but you may be wrong. So, intellectually, we don't even accept it. If we do, it is very again superficial.
And but the is that the Observer is the observed. That is the truth. That is, I am lonely with all the implications. I am lonely with all its implication of tremendous feeling of isolation, having no relationship with anything. I'm completely [Music] absorbed with fear in the sense of detachment from everything that depresses me tremendously. And my natural instinct is run away from me, suppress it, run off to some kind of meeting people, football, religion, all that.
But the escape from the fact brings about the division. I am lonely. I must not be lonely, right? The escape from what is gives me not only conflict because it is divisive, it helps me not to understand this thing called loneliness, right? Is loneliness separate from me? When I say, "God, I'm lonely," is that feeling of desperate, anxious fear of loneliness, is that something separate from me, or I am that? Right? You understand?
I, my self-centered activity, my ambition, my image about myself, and so on, all that has brought about this sense of isolation which I call lonely loneliness. That loneliness is not separate from me. If it is separate from me, I can act about it, run away, right? It and so. But it is me. Please understand. If it is me that is in this state of loneliness, what, what want to do? You understand my question?
I am lonely. You know that feeling of it. You're married, have children, and so, but you are physically terribly lonely. If that loneliness is something separate from me, then I'm in conflict with that loneliness. I fight. I tried to it by knowledge, by excitement, by this or that. But if it is me, I can't do anything about it. You understand?
See, stop there for a minute. To something now. I realize I am there because I cannot do anything about it. It ends conflict. But the remains, right? I can't do anything about so it's there. So can I please listen to this? Can I remain? Can my thought remain with it, complet not run away from it? Remain with that loneliness, with all its anxiety, fear, all the complexity of that Lon totally without any movement?
Look at it. When you look at it as an observer looking in, then you're the problem arises. But the fact is that loneliness is you. So you have to look at it without the obser as a whole. When you do that, completely, loneliness disappears totally, never to come back.
