There are many levels of consciousness. If you meditate and try to stop thinking and just listen to the sounds of life, of earth, around you, you will begin thinking. If you work at it, sometimes you really can clear your mind for awhile, but then you’ll hear it, often very soft and far away, but a voice nevertheless, saying – if nothing else – “Hey, you did it. You cleared your mind. Congratulations.”
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)
