"There is no self, there is
no I, there is no spirit, there is no soul, and there is no mind. That
knocks off the whole list, and you have no way of finding out what you
are left with. You may very well ask me the question, 'Why do you go on
telling people about the way you are functioning?' It is only to
emphasize that we have been for centuries using some instrument, that
is, thinking or mind, or whatever you want to call it, to free ourselves
from the whole of what you call the 'I' or the 'self', and all kinds of
things. That is what the whole quest of spirit is all about. But once
it dawns on you that there is nothing to be free from, then these
questions don't arise at all. How that dawned on me, I have no way of
finding out for myself."
