Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

What is the basic reason for thought to be fragmented?

What is the substance of thought? Is it a material process, a chemical process?

There is a total perception, which is truth. That perception acts in the field of reality. That action is not the product of thought.

Thought has no place when there is total perception.

Thought never acknowledges to itself that it is mechanical.

Total perception can only exist when the centre is not.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

How does science investigate the mysterious?

If thought cannot achieve, why should it suffer?

Can consciousness, which is filled with the things of thought, empty itself?

Thought cannot possibly apprehend, comprehend or be aware of the whole.

Time.

Krishnamurti’s early years.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

Can thought naturally cease?

Perceiving without the perceiver

Facing the truth of death

Krishnamurti’s ‘process’ and early years.

Kundalini

If you can understand suffering, face it and not escape from it, that has quite a different energy.

Truth is a pathless land.

There is something really tremendously mysterious.

Knowledge is becoming the curse.

When the mind, with all the confusion, is nothing, not a thing, then perhaps there is the other.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought.

Can thought ever see its own movement and the futility of its own movement?

Attention implies that there is no centre.

Is there a perception, a seeing outside the space which is part of consciousness?

There are two human beings, one gets conditioned and the other doesn’t. Why? How has it happened the other doesn’t get conditioned?

How does this perception which is beyond attention, beyond awareness, beyond concentration come about?

Thought is rather superficial, it’s merely a very small part of the operation of the brain.

Can consciousness be completely empty of its content?

Order and disorder

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

Why has desire become such an extraordinarily important thing in life?

How does desire arise from perception?

Can I desire truth?

Is the energy of nothingness different from the energy of things?

Is that nothingness a hypothesis, a theory, a verbal structure, or truth?

In dying to the reality only then there is nothingness.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

Is there a thinking without the word?

The action brought about by thought into the investigation of an analysis is always incomplete.

Insight is complete. It is not fragmented as thought is. So thought cannot bring about an insight.

I must have an insight into conditioning otherwise I can’t dissolve it.

What takes place when I have an insight that the observer is the observed?

In nothingness there is complete security and stability.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

If truth is something totally different from reality then what place has action in daily life, in relation to truth and reality?

Seeing what is is action.

What place has love in truth?

When I separate you, in that separation love cannot exist.

How are you to convey the sense of truth to a student?

As long as I live in the field of reality, which has its own energy, that energy will not free me.

When the mind is empty, when the mind is nothing, not a thing, in that there is perception.

Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought

What is truth and what is reality?

Anything that thought thinks about or reflects upon or projects, that is reality. And that reality has nothing to do with truth.

The art of seeing is to place reality where it is, and not move that in order to get truth. You can’t get truth.

How am I to empty that consciousness and yet retain knowledge – otherwise I couldn’t function – and reach a state which will comprehend reality?

Krishnamurti: Facing a World in Crisis

Do we realize that we are the world and the world is us?

Can we together understand the world, ourselves and our relationship to the world?

Can we inquire together into why we want continuity and what is ending? How are time and thought involved in this process? What is death?

If we realize the immense significance of living with that ending that is called death in our daily life, there is real transformation, real mutation, even in the brain cells.

Can the brain ever understand that which is limitless? Can the brain be quiet? Is there a mind, which is not the brain, to understand that immensity?

Krishnamurti: Facing a World in Crisis

Do we realize how very little freedom we have?

Are pleasure, fear, self-interest, time, thought, all one movement?

Does change imply a movement in time? If we understand that all time is now then is change meaningless?

Why has man suffered from time immemorial? Is there an end to sorrow?

Is love a continuation and remembrance of pleasure, or is it entirely beyond thought and time? What relationship has love to sorrow and compassion?

Where there is love there is absolute freedom. Can we live our daily life with that perfume?
