Yes but just quoting one of the greatest mystic/philosopher of our time
,J.Krishanamurthi.
Here goes J.Krishnamurthi on constructs and mind -:
Now, freedom from all that, is freedom from the known; it is the state of
a mind which says, "I do not know", and which is not looking for an
answer. Such a mind is completely not seeking not expecting; and it is
only in this state that you can say, "I understand". It is the only state
in which the mind is free, and from that state you can look at the things
that are known - but not the other way round. From the known you cannot
possibly see the unknown; but when once you have understood the state of a
mind that is free - which is the mind that says, "I don't know" and
remains unknowing, and is therefore innocent - , from that state you can
function, you can be a citizen, you can be married, or what you will. Then
what you do has relevance, significance in life. But we remain in the
field of the known, with all its conflicts, striving, disputes, agonies,
and from that field we try to find that which is unknown; therefore we are
not really seeking freedom. What we want is the continuation, the
extension of the same old thing: the known.
