"What is a chaste mind? - 4 August 1974 • The word 'chaste' means pure, clean, untouched. • Have we a chaste mind, a mind that has not been hurt, has no image, is free from the pleasure of yesterday and is innocent? • Is chastity a quality of the mind? • Can the mind be free of the word, symbols and the condemnation and approval of the word? • What is the nature of the mind when there is no attempt through will or desire for any way out through the known? • If you are really serious, not just with words but burning with responsibility, then you ask whether the mind can ever be free from the known."
