May we continue Where we left off yesterday? We were talking about fear And the ending of fear. And also, We were talking about The responsibility of each one of Facing what is happening In the world, The appalling, frightening mess we are in. And for that, we're all responsible, Individually, collectively, nationally, Religiously, And all The affairs of the world we have made after Millennia upon millennia, Long evolution, We have still remained barbarians, Hurting each other, Killing each other, destroying each other. We've had freedom To do exactly what we like, And that has created havoc in the world. Freedom is not to do what one likes, But rather To be free From all the travail of life, from the problems Which we went into yesterday morning, From our anxieties, From our Psychological wounds, From all the conflict That we have put up with for many, Many, many millennia, And also To be free from fear. We talked about all these things. These Gatherings, this meeting, is not a lecture On any particular subject to inform, To instruct, To put it to a certain pattern, But rather, It our responsibility together To investigate, to explore Into all the problems of our Life, Our daily life. Not some speculative concept Or philosophy, But to understand The daily Pain, the boredom, the loneliness, The despair, the depression, And the endless conflict man has lived With. And this morning, We have to cover a great deal of ground. And also, we pointed out yesterday, This is not A meeting in which The speaker stimulates you Intellectually, Emotionally, or in any other way. We depend a great deal on stimulation. It's a form of commercialism, Drugs, Alcohol, And all the various means of Sensation. And we want also not only Sensation, But excitement, stimulation. So this is not that kind of meeting. We are together To investigate our life. We are together To investigate our life
