Can a mechanical mind see something non-mechanical, something extraordinarily alive, something constantly in movement? See the truth of the fact that any system, whether in the scientific or technological world, or in the world of meditation, must make the mind dull, must make the mind so insensitive, so – if I may use the word – stupid. It is only a stupid mind that accepts systems. Now if you see the truth of that, your mind is no longer pursuing a practice but becomes constantly aware, constantly alive, non-mechanical.
