"What will make me see that thought breeds frustration? - 21 August 1965

• What is the function of thought?

• Can the mind see the fact that thought will always breed frustration?

• Function is necessary, but function with status, position and power must breed frustration.

• Without frustration thought says to itself, ‘I am not seeking. I don’t want anything.’

• If there is no thought, what happens?

• The very perception of the limitation of thought is the act of opening the door,

rather than thought opening the door.

• To function without prestige, without frustration, that itself is an extraordinary

state, meaning to function without self-centred activity."
