1. Attention implies the total abandonment of the 'me' - 6 March 1971 Duration: 100 minutes
• Can the mind undergo a radical revolution?
• How do you observe the world?
• What solves our human problem is observing the whole process of ourselves
without judging, condemning, translating or rejecting – just to observe.
Question topics following the talk include being disturbed in order to know, being confused, transcendental meditation.
2. Violence, pleasure and fear - 7 March 1971 Duration: 89 minutes
• We have accepted violence as a way of life and yet at the same time we want
peace.
• Can one live a life in which there is no comparison at all?
• Pleasure is the continuance of an experience that is never finished.
• We are living in the past.
• How can the conscious mind investigate the total hidden mind?
3. Is pleasure love? - 13 March 1971
Duration: 96 minutes
• Can thought ever solve the whole problem of existence?
• What is the function of thought?
• Why has sex become so extraordinarily important?
• Chastity is the freedom from all image.

4. Meditation means a life that is totally different every minute of the day - 14 March 1971
Duration: 94 minutes
• A mind that inquires into this whole question of meditation must have
tremendous discipline.
• When you observe'what is'without the interference of the past, there is
complete change of 'what is'.
• Is there away of seeing the whole content of consciousness without analysis?
• When you give complete attention there is no centre from which you attend.
