Yra ne tik smulkūs įpročiai, tokie kaip pirštų maigymas, bet ir seksualiniai įpročiai, mąstymo modelių įpročiai bei įvairios veiklos formos. Aš galvoju taip, darau tokią išvadą, ir tai tampa įpročiu. Gyvenu įpročiais; visas mano gyvenimas yra įpročių struktūra.
Kaip protas gali suvokti visą įpročių mechanizmą?
Žmogus turi tūkstančius įpročių: kaip valosi dantis, kaip šukuojasi plaukus, kaip skaito, kaip vaikšto. Vienas iš įpročių yra noras tapti garsiam arba svarbiam.
Kaip protas gali suvokti visus šiuos įpročius? Ar jis turi suvokti vieną įprotį po kito?
Ar žinote, kiek laiko tai užtruktų? Galėčiau praleisti visą likusį gyvenimą stebėdamas kiekvieną įprotį atskirai ir vis tiek neišspręsčiau problemos.
Aš noriu tai suprasti, noriu tai išsiaiškinti ir neketinu nuo to nusigręžti.
Todėl klausiu: ar įmanoma protui pamatyti visą įpročių tinklą iš karto?

There are not only small habits like fiddling with one’s fingers, but also sexual habits, habits of patterns of thought, and various activities. I think this, I conclude this, and that has become a habit. I live in habits; my whole life is a structure of habits. How is the mind to be aware of the entire mechanism of habit? One has a thousand and one habits: the way you brush your teeth, comb your hair, the way you read, the way you walk. One of the habits is wanting to become famous or wanting to become important. How is the mind to become aware of all these habits? Is it to become aware of one habit after another? Do you know how long that would take? I could spend the rest of my days watching each habit and yet not solve it. I am going to learn about it, I am going to find out; I’m not going to leave it. I am asking: is it possible for the mind to see the whole network of habits?

Negalima peržengti minties, nes tas „žmogus“, kuris deda pastangas, pats yra minties rezultatas. Atskleidžiant mąstymo procesą, o tai ir yra savęs pažinimas, tiesa apie „tai, kas yra“, užbaigia mąstymo procesą.
Tiesa apie „tai, kas yra“, negali būti rasta jokioje knygoje – nei senoje, nei naujoje. Knygoje galima rasti žodžius, bet ne tiesą.
Tiesos negalima surasti. Pastangos surasti tiesą sukuria tik pačių susikurtą tikslą, o tas tikslas nėra tiesa.
Rezultatas nėra tiesa. Rezultatas yra minties tęsinys – pratęstas arba projektuojamas į ateitį.
Tik tada, kai mintis baigiasi, yra tiesa.
Mintis nesibaigia per prievartą, discipliną ar bet kokią pasipriešinimo formą.
Klausymasis pasakojimo apie „tai, kas yra“, atneša savo paties išsilaisvinimą.
Išlaisvina tiesa, o ne pastangos tapti laisvam.

One cannot go beyond thought, for the ‘one’, the maker of effort, is the result of thought. In uncovering the thought process, which is self-knowledge, the truth of ‘what is’ puts an end to the thought process. The truth of ‘what is’ is not to be found in any book, ancient or modern. What is found is the word, but not truth. One cannot find truth. The effort to find truth brings about a self-projected end, and that end is not truth. A result is not truth; a result is the continuation of thought, extended or projected. Only when thought ends is there truth. There is no ending of thought through compulsion, through discipline, through any form of resistance. Listening to the story of ‘what is’ brings its own liberation. It is truth that liberates, not the effort to be free.

Jei stebėsite labai atidžiai, pamatysite, kad nors minties reakcija, minties judėjimas atrodo labai greitas, tarp minčių yra tarpai, yra intervalai. Tarp dviejų minčių egzistuoja tylos akimirka, kuri nėra susijusi su mąstymo procesu.
Jei stebėsite, pamatysite, kad ši tylos akimirka, šis intervalas, nepriklauso laikui.
Šio intervalo atradimas, visiškas jo išgyvenimas, išlaisvina iš sąlygotumo – tiksliau, jis neišlaisvina „jūsų“, bet atsiranda išsilaisvinimas iš sąlygotumo.
Todėl mąstymo proceso supratimas ir yra meditacija.
Dabar mes ne tik nagrinėjame minties sandarą ir veikimą, kurio pagrindas yra atmintis, patirtis ir žinios, bet ir aiškinamės, ar protas gali išsilaisvinti iš šio pagrindo.
Tik tada, kai protas nebesuteikia minčiai tęstinumo, kai jis yra tylus – tyla, kuri nėra sukelta, neturi jokios priežasties ir nėra jokio metodo rezultatas – tik tada gali atsirasti laisvė nuo šio sąlygoto pagrindo.

If you watch very carefully, you will see that though the response, the movement of thought, seems so swift, there are gaps, there are intervals between thoughts. Between two thoughts, there is a period of silence which is not related to the thought process. If you observe, you will see that that period of silence, that interval, is not of time. The discovery of that interval, the full experiencing of that interval, liberates you from conditioning – or rather it does not liberate ‘you’, but there is liberation from conditioning. So the understanding of the process of thinking is meditation. We are now not only discussing the structure and process of thought, which is the background of memory, experience and knowledge, but we are also finding out if the mind can liberate itself from the background. It is only when the mind is not giving continuity to thought, when it is still with a stillness that is not induced, without any causation – it is only then that there can be freedom from the background.

Tough night again #tonight, two hours late off, so that’s a 12hr shift with no break again. I am trying to take care of myself, and made sure I ate breakfast #today. Granted I ate it at 2pm, but it was still #breakfast. Given I didn’t eat anything else until the two double cheeseburgers from the drive-thru on my way home at 4am, I’m glad I did.
#Day176 of #365HappyDays is therefore my breakfast. Greek yogurt, granola, blueberries and honey.
