Every paragraph every chapter has so much to offer example.
You must have a clear mind, a free untethered mind; this is essential. You cannot have a clear, penetrating mind if there is fear of any sort. Fear clogs the mind. If the mind does not face its own self centered problems, it is not a clear, deep mind. To face its own peculiarities, to be aware of its urges, deeply and inwardly, to acknowledge all this without any resistance, is to have a profound and clear mind. Then only there can be a subtle mind, not merely a sharp mind. A subtle mind is a slow hesitant mind, not a mind that concludes, judges, or formulates. This subtlety is essential. It must know to listen and to wait. To play with the deep. This is not to be got at the end, but this quality must be there from the beginning. You must have it give it a full and deep chance to flower.
To go into the unknown, to take nothing for granted, not to assume anything, to be free to find out, and then only can there be depth and understanding. Otherwise one remains on the surface. What is important is not to prove or disprove a point, but to find out the truth.
