And to have deep, true ght-nocan intellectual comprehennot resolving the problem through lict, but having an insight into a an issue. That very insight awakens intelligence. Or, having this intense there is the insight-both ways. Having an insight involves no list, because when you see some very clearly, the truth of the ter, you don't fight against it, you t try to control; you don't make all e calculated, motivated efforts. n that insight, which is intelligence, e is immediate action. Ve are educated from childhood to exercise as deeply as possible, every form of effort. We make tremendous efforts to control ourselves, to suppress, to adjust, to modify ourselves to certain conclusions, pattern ourselves according to some patterns, or according to an objective that you or another has established, and so there is this constant struggle ...Is it possible to live daily life. without a single conflict? Most of us are dissatisfied. When you are young this dissatisfaction becomes like a flame, and you have passion to do something: so you join some political party, the extreme revolutionary, and so on By joining, adopting certain attitudes, certain ideologies, that flame of discontent fades away, because you are then satisfied. You say, "This is what I want to do' and you pour your heart into it. And gradually yo find, if you are at all awake to all the problems involved, that doesn't satisfy. But it is too late: you have already given half your life to something which you thought will be completely worthwhile, but when you find later on that it is not, then i am afraid one's energy, capacity, the drive, has withered away. Discontent with regard to politics, discontent that questions religious attitudes, and dogmas, the orthodoxy of the priest, the gurus-the discontent questions it, doubts it. And gradually you like somebody, or some idea...so you adjust yourself to that pattern. Gradually this real flame of discontent withers away. Most of us fortunately, if we are at all alive to things, are discontented ... But to allow this flame to keep on burning, not be satisfied with anything, then superficial satisfactions have no place. This very dissatisfaction is demanding something much greater than the ideals gurus, religions, establishment, ecology and so on, they've become totally superficial. And that very flame of discontent, because it has no outlet, because has no object in which it can fulfil itselthat flame becomes a great passion. And that passion is this intelligence. And insight implies observing 'whais'with a mind that is completely free and therefore empty to observe 'what i-and therefore you have an insight. That is, when you are violent and youdo escape from violence, avoid it, try transform it into some nonsensical non-violence and so on, then you are free of allthat burden. Being free, the mind is empty; that emptiness gives yoinsight. And when you have insight intviolence you are no longer violent.
