it consists of verbs. But man's mind is so cunning that it has become more and more attached to nouns. It changes every verb into a noun.
For example, there is nothing in life as love. There is loving but there is no love. In fact there is no life as such but only loving. And the same is true about everything -- the whole of life, the whole of existence consists of verbs.
Knowledge comes through memory and knowing comes through awareness. Knowledge is mechanical; hence a computer can be very knowledgeable, more knowledgeable than human minds because it has a memory system. You can simply go on feeding; it and it will accumulate all kinds of knowledge and you can retrieve any kind of knowledge whenever you want.
Our brain is nothing but a biocomputer. It has taken millions of years for nature to evolve the brain. What we have done by creating the computer is that we have simply made a brain outside the body, a mechanical brain. Of course, computers will go on growing more and more, they will become bigger and bigger, and they will be capable of doing miracles. Even great geniuses like Albert Einstein will look like pygmies beside computers very soon, for the simple reason: How much can you remember? -- the computer can be made to remember any amount of knowledge.
Memory is a mechanical phenomenon but awareness is non-mechanical, hence no computer can ever learn to be aware, no computer can ever be meditative. That is impossible. The computer can have knowledge but it cannot be in a state of knowing. You have to feed it dead knowledge, it can accumulate. And that's what our so-called scholars, pundits, have been doing for centuries. We have respected them very much, and they nothing but computers. Machines have been worshipped, and we are still doing that, our universities are factories where we create machines out of men.
My work here consists in doing just the opposite, in de-automatising you, in de-conditioning you, in helping you to become aware. When you become amore aware you are more open to existence, to all that is happening all around. All your windows and doors are open; existence can pass through you. You can be more
