Public Talk 4 Saanen, Switzerland
August 1, 1961

Humility is not virtue. Anything that is cultivated, disciplined or controlled does not bring it about.

Humility is not a thing to be sown and reaped; it must come into being.

Is learning accumulation of knowledge?

All change implies violence, and through violence there is nothing new.

Control, subjugation and conformity to a pattern implies violence.

Humility is the state of mind which has completely discarded the accumulative process and its opposites, and is from moment to moment aware of 'what is'.

If you go very deeply and seriously into the question of humility, you're bound to question the whole problem of learning.

The learning of words prevents the seeing of things as they are.

A mind that is no longer concerned with change has no fear; a mind that has no fear is free.

Various questions were asked by the audience at the end of the talk.
