"It is extremely difficult to b aware of dullness, to be aware of greed,
to be aware of ill-will, ambition, and so on. The very fact of being
aware of 'what is' is truth. It is truth that liberates, not your
striving to be free. Thus, reality is not far, but we place it far away
because we try to use it as a means of self-continuity. It is here, now,
in the immediate. The eternal or the timeless is now and the now cannot
be understood by a man who is caught in the net of time. To free
thought from time demands action, but the mind is lazy, it is slothful,
and therefore ever creates other hindrances.It is only possible by right
meditation, which means complete action not a continuous action, and
complete action can only be understood when the mind comprehends the
process of continuity, which is memory - not the factual but the
psychological memory. As long as memory functions, the mind cannot
understand 'what is'. But one's mind, one's whole being, becomes
extraordinarily creative, passively alert, when one understands the
significance of ending, because in ending there is renewal, while in
continuity there is death, there is decay. The very fact of being aware
of 'what is' is truth. The timeless is now and the now cannot be
understood. The mind cannot understand what is." - J.K
