A religious mind is a mind that has no belief, no dogma, no fear, and absolutely no authority of any kind because it is a light to itself. Such a mind, being free, can go very far, but that freedom must begin very close, very near, which is the freedom in yourself, in the understanding of yourself. Then you can go very far. Then you will find out for yourself the extraordinary stillness of the mind which is not an idea but an actual fact, a mind that is completely still, without any distraction. Because it has no distraction, it is the still mind, not a romantic mind, not a mind that is begotten through conflict, through contradiction, through misery. It is only such a mind that is completely quiet and therefore completely alive, totally sensitive. It is only such a mind that can receive that which is immeasurable.
