There is a stillness which is not induced

"There is a stillness which is not induced, a stillness in which the mind is no longer using thought to revive itself....

"The mind, both conscious and unconscious, is a bundle of memories, and when the mind says to itself, 'I must be free of memory in order to understand reality,' that very wish to be free is a part of memory. That is a fact. Therefore the mind no longer wishes to be anything: it merely faces the fact that it itself is a memory; it does not wish to transform, it does not wish to become something else. When the mind sees that any action on its own part is still the functioning of memory, and therefore that it is incapable of finding truth, what then is the state of the mind? It is still."
