Breaking the pattern of egocentric activity

'. Breaking the pattern of egocentric activity - 10 April 1980 What will make a human being change, deeply, fundamentally, radically? Will I, as a human being, give up my egocentric activity completely? The more knowledge I have acquired, as I have evolved, as I have grown, as Ihave experienced, it has strengthened me, and I have been walking on that path for millennia. Perhaps I may have to look at this problem totally differently - which is not to walk on that path at all; discard all knowledge I have acquired. Explanations have been the boat on which to cross to the other shore. The man on the other shore says there is no boat. Cross! What happens to me when I meet something that is completely solid, immovable, absolutely true? Psychological knowledge has made us dull.'
