analyser has to be extremely clear-sighted in order to analyse. If his analysis is
twisted, the analysis is not worth a straw. The analytical process implies time. In
inquiring through time, distorting factors enter. The way of analysis is entirely
wrong; there has to be a dropping away of analysis.
J: I am confused.
K: Yes, it is a fact that we are confused. We do not know what to do and we
begin to analyse.
A: The process of analysis is to us something concrete. You said: When you
operate on a cause, some other factors enter. Does it mean that the analysis of the
problem becomes inconsequential?
K: I think the whole process is wrong. I am concerned with this action which is
put together by a series of analytical examinations and analytical implications in
which time is involved. By the time I find what I sought, I am either exhausted or
dead. It is difficult to examine, to analyse the hidden layers with the conscious
mind. So I feel that this whole intellectual process is wrong. I say this without
any disrespect.
A: The intellect is the only tool of examination that we have. The intellect has
the capacity to collect, to recollect, to foresee, to analyse. It is only a fragment.
Therefore, the examination of the mind by a fragment can only bring about a
fragmentary understanding. What can we do?
R: I cannot do anything.
K: You say that the intellect is the only instrument one has with the capacity to
examine. Has it? Has the intellect the capacity to examine? And, if so, does it not
do so only partially? I see that the intellect, being partial, can examine only
partially. I see the truth of that—not as a conclusion, not as an opinion, but I see
it as a fact. Therefore I no longer use the intellect.
A: Such a mind can lapse into belief. You are saying that the mind senses this.
When the mind superficially turns away from analysis, it falls into other traps. So
this has to be done rigorously, with the intellect.
K: Analysis is not the way.
A: With what instrument do we explore? Our reason must corroborate what you
say.
J: You arrive there by some path which is not analytical. We see the logic of it.
