He had the inner conviction that there was a ‘principle’ independent of all society and felt the urge to explore this conviction. His exploration led him to India where he was introduced through a ‘direct approach’ to the non-mental dimension of life. Through living in this complete openness, he was taken, one timeless moment, by a sudden, clear awakening in his real nature. It was not a mystical experience, a new state, but the continuum in life, the non-state in light of which birth, death and all experience take place. From 1960 he led a quiet life teaching in Europe and later in the United States.
