Categorical Condition
- Escapist: Escaping is an act of cowardliness, because you could not face the situation.
- Escaping means that you wanted a different kind of place, where you can be at ease. But you can never be at ease anywhere.
- The man who desires is an escapist.
- Only the meditator is not an escapist – everybody else is. Meditation means getting out of desire, getting out of thoughts, getting out of mind.
- Meditation is not escaping from life: it is escaping into life. Mind is escaping from life, desire is escaping from life.
- Renounces The Desire: Renunciation simply means that you give without any expectation of getting anything in return. There is giving, but there is no demand.
- Desire is running outside of ourselves. Therefore desirelessness is necessary for self-knowledge.
- To renounce and escape is weakness, is cowardice.
- Renunciation means coming to know that you cannot possess anything. You can use, at the most, but you cannot possess.
- Categorical Condition: Looking at life from the standpoint of self-ignorance is sansara, the world. Looking at life from the standpoint of self-knowing is sannyas.
- To live life in its totality, but with an absolute condition, categorical condition, and that condition is awareness, meditation.
- Your nonexistence is the categorical condition. For noone can it be relaxed. It is categorical, it is the absolute. You are the barrier. Fall down, and then you know.
