I would like to talk about psychological knowledge, is it necessary at all?
One must have knowledge in his field i.e.) mathematics, science, medicine...etc but is there a necessity for psychological knowledge.
This knowledge is the residue of the input that we take from gurus, books, religions, ideals, and our own accumulation of knowledge with out proper investigation....etc.
We can call it as consciousness, now the question is what happens in the absence of this knowledge? Try to empty your consciousness for a second; one is blessed with fresh and innocent mind which can see the things directly not through the screen of
knowledge. Only in that state is there possibility for love to come into being?
Is psychological knowledge necessary in relationship?
Can you look at your friend, your work, your family...etc with fresh mind anew? When you say I know somebody, what you know is the image that you created about that person according to your own convenience not the real person. You may say the image and the real person are same? But please go into it when you are in direct contact
with somebody you don't create any image. Image is static but the person is living and continuously changing entity.
With knowledge comes ignorance and it conditions the mind. Intelligence uses knowledge. When I say I must be this or that it is based on psychological knowledge and it breeds conflict. So can we live in such way that there is no kind of compulsion, suppression, and craving in our mind? Can you feel that state of mind?
Based on this knowledge we act, so our action is based on past which is not action at all.
There is entirely different kind of action based on direct perception which doesn't involve time and it is not reaction. Time means interval between idea and action.
So like thought knowledge has its right place. Thought knowledge and time are interrelated. There is an ending of thought through understanding of thought structure not through control. Meditation is not controlling thought rather being aware of thought process and finding out what takes place for human mind in absolute stillness.
