&quote;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 theact 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 , noproblem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendousmovement. Attending, I can do things without effort and thought. The mind gets tired and moves to inattention. In that state of inattentionaction goes on and must be conditioning. There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive.&quote;
