"What is the relationship between attention and lack of attention? - 3 August 1974 ⢠We are educated to follow, accept and conform. This is tradition, second-hand. ⢠When you become aware of conformity without reaction is that awareness the act of intelligence? ⢠Does the mind realize the nature of conformity, intelligence and awareness? ⢠I am attentive for a minute and there is no border, no time, no 'me', no problem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendous movement. ⢠Attending, I can do things without effort and thought. ⢠The mind gets tired and moves to inattention. In that state of inattention action goes on and must be conditioning. ⢠There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive."
