Krishnamurti: Facing a World in Crisis

Is it possible to be totally free of influence, to find the origin, the beginning of all things?

Q1: Is there a faculty to see that there is no path to truth outside myself? What will give me the need, the energy to move in this direction? 

Q2: I am afraid to change. If I change, what will happen afterwards? 

Q3: How does one meet aggression and psychological attack from a close relative from whom one cannot escape?

Q4: What do you say to people who seem to pick parts of what you say that fits their problems or interest and then discard the rest?

Q5: There are many accounts of people following a particular discipline who come upon the immeasurable. Are they self-deluded, or have they come to this somehow despite their efforts?

Krishnamurti: Facing a World in Crisis

What is the nature of beauty? What is its relationship to thought, time and love? Can memory apprehend that which is beautiful?

Time is the movement of memory, knowledge, experience. Can this movement ever end?

What is the connection between thought and time?

Can thinking in the deepest valleys of the brain ever stop? 

Is relationship, the closeness, the feeling for each other, based on thought?

Is fear related to time and thought? Is it possible to end fear now so completely that you are free?

Krishnamurti: Facing a World in Crisis

How do you approach a problem or challenge?

Can the brain, educated to live with problems, have no problems at all?

Are we aware that our brain lives with problems?

Can the brain become aware of itself, its thoughts, its reactions, its way of living?

Can the brain be free of self-interest, which is the beginning of corruption and the origin of conflict?

Is it possible to live in this complicated world without conflict?

The question, not the answer, has tremendous significance.

Can one remain quiet and watch? Are observation and love related?

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1981

What is ending?

The mind cannot enter into a totally new dimension if there is a shadow of memory of anything. 

If the movement of thought ends, consciousness as we know it is not.

Thought is the enemy of compassion.

Q: What significance has death?

I meet the Buddha. He has told me very carefully: be a light to yourself. So that truth is with me, it is the seed that is flowering in me. So if he goes away, the seed is flowering. But what is important is that seed of truth which has been planted by my alertness, awareness, intense listening. That seed will flower. 

Have we, in this dialogue, seen the meaning of death, the extraordinary beauty of ending something?

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1981

Q: Can we discuss and investigate into the nature of God?

Can we negate completely the whole movement of knowledge - except the knowledge of driving a car, speaking a language, technological knowledge?

Can one totally empty the whole accumulation of a million years? 

We never say, ‘I don’t know.’ That is a state of mind that is absolutely motionless, because I don’t know. I think that is one of our difficulties. We all want to know; which means put into the bag of knowledge what God is.

Could I have an insight into the movement of knowledge, so that the insight stops the movement? Not I stop the movement or the brain stops the movement; the very insight is the ending of this knowledge and the beginning of something entirely different.

Is it possible to quieten thought completely? 

Is it possible to be free of the meditator? Then there is no problem. Then there is no question whether there is God or no God – who cares? Then that meditation is the meditation of the universe.

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1978

What does the word ‘conscious’ mean to you?

Thought can never be aware of the total content of consciousness.

Can the mind perceive the totality?

Is there a love or a quality which is not part of consciousness?

Is it possible to observe with all your senses? When there is a movement of thought, it is a particular sense operating.

Is there a totally different dimension which is not the dimension of consciousness as we know it, not invented by thought?

What instrument or what quality is necessary to move out of this circle of consciousness?

How am I as a human being to discover 'the other'?

How can I know what order is when I live in total disorder?

There is action, which is non-action, when thought is completely, absolutely still.

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1978

Q: Has there been a radical change in your teaching?

Has there been, after thirty years, a movement away from observation, from the division between the thinker and the thought, and from the whole content of consciousness?

Without preparation, without drill, without examination, is it possible to see the total content of consciousness and move out of it?

It is only possible to have a complete, total insight immediately, instantly, and that instant is not contained in time.

The thinker and the thought are identical, they are not separate.

The whole way of thinking is based on growth, becoming, evolving.

Will the mind, being so heavily conditioned by the tradition of growth, listen?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?

What is reality? What are the limitations of thought and can it ever perceive truth?

Can we go far unless there is order in the world of reality?

Is there an observation of the field of reality without the movement of thought?

What is freedom? 

To understand freedom one must deny all authority, which demands great attention. 

Having observed the disorder in our lives order comes into being.

Can time have a stop? Which means, can the mind be still not by controlling thought? Then one comes upon that which is timeless, sacred and the very essence of compassion.

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?

Can we end suffering at all levels inwardly?

Can there be love, not just personal love but the enormous feeling of compassion?

What is the total significance of death, the ending of what we know as life?

That which ends has a new beginning, not that which has a continuity. Can there be an ending to time?

Has time created the centre, the ‘me’?

What is immortality, eternity, a timeless state? What happens to those caught in the movement of time?

What is the relationship between one who is out of the stream of sorrow and one who is in it?
