The religious mind is the non-committed mind, because only such a mind can discover what is true and what is false. It is only such a mind that can find out if there is or is not a reality, God, a timeless thing – but not the committed mind, not a mind that believes or does not believe. Obviously, the religious mind is not the mind that goes to the temple, that does puja and all kinds of tricks. The religious mind sees the falseness of all that totally, completely. Therefore, being free and not having a platform from which to proceed to inquire, it begins all inquiry from freedom. Such a mind is dispassionate, objective, sane, rational, capable of reasoning – which is, after all, the scientific mind. The scientific mind is not a religious mind. The scientific mind is committed to examining a certain part of existence, a segment of life, so the scientific mind cannot understand the totality which the religious mind can understand. To have such a religious mind, there must be a revolution – not economic or social, but a psychological revolution, a revolution in the psyche, in the very process of our thinking.
