strings: So we begin to deceive ourselves the mdment there is this urge to be, to become or to achieve. That is a very diffcult thing for the mind to be free• from. That is one of the basic problems of our life. Is it possible to live in this world and bc nothing? Then only is there freedom from all deception, because then only is the mind not seeking a result, the mind not seeking a satisfactory answer, the mind is not seeking any form of justification, the mind is not seeking security in any form, in any relationship. That takes placc only when the mind realizes the possibilities and subtleties of deception and therefore, with understanding, abandons every form of justification, security—which means the mind is capable, then, of being completely nothing. Is that possible ?
