K: I included everything, not only frustration, in the field of time. Now I see that
the brain cells have operated in a very small field of time, and that that small
field, with its limited energy, has created all the mischief. The old brain becomes
quiet. What we have called quietness is limitation becoming quiet. The noise of
that has ended, and that is the silence of limitation. When thought realizes that,
then the brain itself, the whole brain, becomes quiet.
P: Yet it registers.
K: Of course.
P: Existence continues.
K: Existence, without any continuance. Then what? The whole brain becomes
quiet, not only the limited part.
F: It is the same thing to us.
P: If you do not know the ‘other’, and the ‘other’ is not in operation, what
becomes quiet in our case is only limitation.
K: Therefore, that quietness is not quietness.
P: This is something new which you are introducing.
D: What makes you say that we are not using the whole brain?
F: I am saying that my total brain is functioning, but I am not conscious of it,
because I am enclosing myself within the limited field.
K: First stop the movement of thought, then see what happens.
D: When the movement of thought stops, things happen on their own. Is the
inquiry of what happens afterwards necessary?
P: I want to ask one question here. You have said that the ending of the
limitation of the ‘me’ as thought is not silence.
K: That is the beauty of it.
P: Let me get the feeling of it. Please say it again.
K: When thought with its limitations says that it is silent, it is not silent. Silence
is when the total quality of the brain is still—the total thing, not just a part of it.
F: Why should the total brain become silent?
