What is it that you want to convey to him? To live a non-competitive life?To explain to him the machinery of comparison and what it does? Tell him in words and convince him intellectually? You as teachers and humans must live that way. Only then can you convey it to the student and it will have truth behind it. Freedom means a life without comparison. But inevitably, you will ask what is the condition of life without any high or low, without division. You want a description of it so that through a description you may capture it. This is another form of comparison and competition. You have to live it and then you will know what it means.
When the mind breaks through all this rubbish, which can only happen with self-knowing, then what happens can never be told to another. Even in the telling things have already changed. —JK
