"When you introduce the personal element into your judgment you inevitably pervert your understanding."
Early Writings, Harmonious Living, Vol.IV |

"The difficulty with most of us is that we have not the intention to understand, because we are
afraid that, if we understood, it might bring about a revolutionary action in our life and therefore we
resist."
The First and Last Freedom, p.135 |

"Is there such a thing as intellectual understanding? Or is it that the mind merely understands
the words, because that is our only way of communicating with each other? Can we, however,
really understand anything merely verbally, mentally? That is the first thing we have to be
clear about; whether so-called intellectual understanding is not an impediment to understanding."
The First and Last Freedom, p.193 |
