0:00 I want to find out
0:03 the truth of this extraordinary state,
0:11 together.
0:16 Please, this is a very serious game we are playing,
0:20 it's beyond chess, beyond football, beyond everything.
0:25 It's a game,
0:29 we are playing a game with delight,
0:33 enjoying the game,
0:37 and therefore a mind that is eager to find out,
0:43 not saying, I must find out because I'd like to live next life,
0:48 I am frightened of death,
0:50 therefore please tell me if there is something more.
0:53 That's not playing the game.
0:56 So we are together trying to find out the truth of this thing.
1:06 Because death must be the most extraordinary experience,
1:14 much greater than so-called love,
1:21 much greater than any desire,
1:25 any idea, any conclusion,
1:29 because it may be the end of everything,
1:36 the end of every form of relationship,
1:40 every form of recollection, remembrance, accumulation.
1:47 It might be total annihilation.
1:54 Complete ending of everything.
1:59 And one must find out what is the truth of this matter.
2:15 To find out the truth, to come upon it,
2:19 every form of identification must end,
2:29 every form of fear,
2:37 and the desire for comfort.
2:40 It is that desire for comfort may create illusion,
2:46 and therefore one is caught in that illusion
2:49 and says, yes, there is a marvellous state after death.
2:59 So we are learning
3:04 the way of observation which is holistic,
3:09 which means there is no fear,
3:12 there is no desire for comfort,
3:16 there is no illusion,
3:19 and therefore the mind is completely free to look.
3:24 Are we doing this?
3:34 Which means you have no attachment,
3:43 which is enormously difficult,
3:49 because I am attached to my wife, house, ideas, conclusions,
3:56 and therefore I'm frightened to let go,
4:04 I'm frightened to be completely alone.
4:15 We explained that word 'alone' means all one.
4:23 So no attachment of any kind to anything:
4:30 to ideas, to persons,
4:33 to a future hope
4:36 – please, if you are playing the game this is very serious –
4:43 to your son, to your daughter, to your wife, to your husband,
4:49 no attachment,
4:52 which doesn't mean that you become callous.
4:58 When there is attachment there is illusion,
5:02 and when there is illusion there is no clarity,
5:08 and when there is no clarity there is no freedom
5:11 and therefore no order.
5:17 So the mind must have no identification
5:25 with the name,
5:29 with the form,
5:32 or with any person,
5:35 idea, conclusion,
5:39 is that possible?
5:45 As we said,
5:50 that does not deny love,
5:55 on the contrary, when you are attached to a person there is no love,
6:02 there is dependence,
6:04 there is the fear of loneliness,
6:06 to be left alone in a world where everything is so terribly insecure,
6:12 both psychologically as well as outwardly,
6:17 therefore desire to be attached to something.
