why I insist: drop a little out of the head, go to the heart. From the heart you willhave a better perspective that the car is separate from you.Or, try to go out of the body. That too is possible. Out of the body you will beabsolutely out of the car. You will be able to see that neither the body nor theheart nor the mind is you; you are separate.Right now, continue to remember only one thing: that you are separate. Fromeverything that surrounds you, you are separate. The knower is not the known.Go on feeling it more and more so that it becomes a substantial crystallization inyou that the knower is not the known. You KNOW the thought, you SEE thethought -- how can you be the thought? You KNOW the mind, how can you bethe mind? Just drop away; a little distance is needed. One day, when you arereally distant, thinking stops. When the driver is out, the car stops because thereis nobody to drive it now. Then you will have a good laugh, seeing that it has justbeen a misunderstanding. Now, whenever you need it, think.You ask a question to me: I respond. The mind functions. I have to talk to youthrough the mind; there is no other way to talk. But when I am alone, the minddoesn't function.The mind has not lost the capacity to function. In fact, it has gained morecapacity to function and to function rightly. Because it is not functioningconstantly, it gathers energy; it becomes more clear. So 'when the mind stops'does not mean that you will not be able to think again. In fact, only after that willyou be able to think for the first time. Just to be engaged in relevantly irrelevantthoughts is not thinking. It is a mad sort of thing. To be clear, clean, innocent, isto be on the right path for thinking.Then when a problem arises you are not confused; you don't look at the problemthrough prejudices. You look directly at it, and in that direct look the problemstarts melting. If the problem is a problem, it will melt and disappear. If theproblem is not a problem but a mystery, it will melt and deepen. Then you willbe able to see what is a problem.A problem is that which can be solved by the mind; a mystery is that whichcannot be solved by the mind. A mystery has to be lived; a problem has to besolved. But when you are too much in your thoughts, you cannot know what is amystery and what is a problem. Sometimes you take a mystery as a problem.Then your whole life you struggle and it is never solved. And sometimes youthink of a problem as a mystery and you foolishly wait: it could have beensolved.A clarity, a perspective, is needed. When thinking -- this constant innerchattering and inner talk -- stops, and you have become alert and aware, you arecapable of seeing things as they are, you are capable of finding solutions -- andyou are also capable of knowing what is a mystery. And when you come to feelthat something is a mystery, you feel reverence, you feel awe.Come Follow To You Vol 1Osho
