Q: Can one man be more aware than another?

K: Why should I enquire if you are more aware than I am? Just a minute, let us go into it. Why this comparison? Is this not also part of our education, our social conditioning, which says we must compare to progress?—compare one musician with another, one painter with another and so on. And we think by comparing we begin to understand. Comparing means measurement, which implies time, thought, and is it possible to live without comparing at all? You understand? One is brought up, educated in schools, colleges and universities to compare oneself with “A”, who is much cleverer than myself, and to try to reach his level—this constant measurement, this constant comparison, and therefore constant imitation, which is mechanical!
