Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet

When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the mind go beyond that? 

What is pleasure and what is desire? 

How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying, for thought not to allow itself to interfere? 

When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.

When you are completely attentive, you see. It is only love that sees - not thought, the mind or the intellect. One has to learn how to look, how to hear.

Q: Could you distinguish between what you mean by the word ‘recognizing’ and ‘being aware’?

Q: How is one to break off a concept that one has carefully built?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet

When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. 

Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 

Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly enter.

That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time comes to an end there is something new taking place. 

To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.

Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 

Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were talking about?

Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet

The whole movement of living, which is relationship, is a movement in action. 

What is consciousness? When do you say, ‘I am conscious, I am aware, I am attentive’?

Is there actually a division between the conscious and the unconscious, or it is a total movement, operating all the time? 

The mind that pursues pleasure must inevitably invite its opposite, which is pain. The two go together; they are not separate. 

You cannot see totally when you are making effort. 

Q: If you love your own child, your attention to your child is fairly complete, but if you are a teacher you cannot give attention to all the students.

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet

Violence and sorrow are not limited to the West or the East; it is part of the human structure, psychologically. 

Is it possible to bring about a change radically, a total revolution in the psyche itself, not through time? 

The first and last freedom is when the mind is totally free from concepts and the mechanical process of building a formula. 

It is an art to look, which is much more important than any art in the world, any painting, music or book; because when we can look so totally and completely, being directly in contact, there is an ending.

Q: If one has cancer, how can one be free from death?

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind

We have not been able to fathom the enormous energy that lies in the mind.

Psychologically you are the world and the world is you. When you realises this fact, you become astonishingly responsible about what you think and do, how you behave.

Enlightenment is not of time, it doesn’t come through years of practice, renunciation, asceticism.

Time has no place for the religious mind.

Meditation comes naturally if you have put your house in order, which means there is no conflict in you, not a shadow of effort. This is an immense challenge for the human mind.

We are always asking for peace of mind but there is no peace in the mind.

Peace exists only when there is total absence of violence. There is violence if you are ambitious.

Religion is the uncovering of that which is most holy, which has no name, which is the absolute truth, the origin of everything.

Man has very rarely gone inward. There he can find an immense immeasurable universe.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind

In the very looking into desire you begin to have an insight into its nature.

Thought creating an image is the beginning of desire. Can that image come to an end?

Enjoyment is totally different from pleasure.

Pleasure means the avoidance of punishment and holding on to that which is pleasurable. Our minds function within this punishment and reward.

We live with suffering and have accepted it.

Can suffering end?

What is sorrow?

If you remain completely immovably with suffering, it completely ends and there is a totally different beginning.

Why has the mind separated death and living?

While living can you end attachment?

Find out for yourself if there is anything permanent in your life.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind

When we talk about world government, world organisation, world religion, world economy, where would we begin?

Is your mind capable of comprehending the global issue?

As human beings are violent and ambitious, seeking power and position, we create the society in which we live.

Is religion a series of rituals? Is religion to be translated by priests?

What shall we do together to bring about a different kind of education in the world?

We are investigating what fear is. In the very investigation, fear ends.

What is the root of fear? Not your particular fear.

Fear is like a tree with many branches, with all kinds of flowers and fruits.

Can time as thought come to an end, which then does not create fear?

Why does the mind register fear?

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind

The art of listening to what the book of life is saying.

The book is you; you can’t tell the book what it should reveal; it will reveal everything.

Learning means inquiring into the limits of knowledge and moving away from it.

Disorder exists as long as there is contradiction.

As long as you are acting self-centredly, selfishly, egotistically, personally, narrowing the whole of this vast life into the little ‘me’, you will inevitably create disorder.

The book asks you: is it possible to be completely free of fear?

What is the relationship between time and thought?

Time destroys understanding because understanding is immediate; it is not ‘I will learn to understand’.

Real meditation is to inquire whether time can ever stop.

To inquire into the nature of the ending of time requires a silent mind, a mind that is free to observe, that is not frightened.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind

What is the condition of man?

Listening is a great art, one we have not cultivated: to listen completely to another.

To bring about a different society you as a human being who is the rest of mankind must radically change.

Doubt is of great importance, it gives you tremendous energy.

Life is a movement in relationship; you cannot exist without relationship.

What is our present relationship with each other?

To understand image-making common to mankind, one has to go into the question of what is thought, thinking and the nature of thought.

Is it possible to live a daily life without a single image?

The mirror in which you can study yourself is the mirror of relationship.

In watching, listening to yourself carefully without any direction or motive, you begin to read the story of mankind, which is yourself.

Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man

If religion is divorced from our daily life, it can only create further chaos, confusion and conflict.

Without order in your life, without being totally moral in your daily activity, how can you think of meditating?

By clearly observing the outer you discover the inner, and see it is one movement.

To see clearly you must observe silently.

Meditation is the emptying of the content of consciousness.

Is beauty the total absence of the observer?
