All the sensory activities began their independent activities. There were no thoughts, no Mind, no co-ordinator linking the various senses, so i had terrible problems. Like a baby, I had to relearn, reidentify everything all over, as all the knowledge was in the background and never came to the forefront as all the links were broken.
I was a very sane man, acting sanely, everything going on, and yet this ridiculous business of asking about everything "What is this? What is that?" But I knew that something really fantastic had happened inside -- what it was, I didn't know, but that didn't bother me.
When I am looking at something, I really don't know what I'm looking at -- that is why I say it is a state of not knowing. I really don't know. That is why I say that once you are there, through some luck, some strange chance, from then on everything happens in its own way. You are always in a state of samadhi; there is no question of going in and out of it; you are always there. I don't want to use that word, so I say it is a state of not knowing. You really don't know what you are looking at.
