There is a way of looking into ourselves without fear, without danger; it is to look without any condemnation, without any justification, just to look, not to interpret, not to judge, not to evaluate. To do that, the mind must be eager to learn in its observation of what actually is. What is the danger in ‘what is’? Human beings are violent; that is actually ‘what is’, and the danger they have brought about in this world is the result of this violence; it is the outcome of fear. What is dangerous about observing it and trying to completely eradicate that fear so that we may bring about a different society, different values? There is a great beauty in observation, in seeing things as they are, psychologically, inwardly, which does not mean that one accepts things as they are, which does not mean that one rejects or wants to do something about ‘what is’; the very perception of ‘what is’ brings about its own mutation. But one must know the art of looking, and the art of looking is never the introspective art or the analytical art, but just observing without any choice.
