can take place only when knowledge has come to an end, and there is pure observation without any direction. That insight is not the result of constant examination, constant analysis day after day; it is a sudden cessation of all knowledge and seeing something directly. That insight brings about a fundamental change in the very brain cells that carry memory. When you have an insight into attachment, you go behind the word, you go behind your reactions of asserting and not asserting; you see, observe how the mind has built up this whole process of attachment. And you can only observe it when you don’t want to discard it. You can only observe when you see that the observer is that thing you are seeing. The observer has created the attachment and then disassociated himself from it and tries to change, control, shape, deny, alter, go beyond. Now, when you have an insight of that kind, out of that insight comes intelligence. This constant insight without a formula, without a conclusion that puts an end to that insight, is creative action. It is astonishingly beautiful and interesting how thought is absent when you have an insight. Thought cannot have an insight. It is only when the mind is not operating mechanically in the structure of thought that you have an insight.
