The Ground of Being, And the Mind of Man : Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 5

"The ground of being, and the mind of man - 12 April 1980
¿ Why has having ideas become so important?
¿ What is the difference between a religious mind and a philosophic mind? ¿ What is the human mind¿s relationship to the `ground¿?
¿ Why has man accumulated knowledge?
¿ When you love somebody there is no `me¿, it is love. In the same way, when I say
I am humanity, it is so. It is not an idea, it is not a conclusion, it is part of me.
¿ There is only one thing and that is to discover that what I have done is useless, ashes. You see, that doesn¿t depress one. That is the beauty of it. It is like the
Phoenix, born out of ashes."
