Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of Energy

How is one to have the quality of energy which is without friction?

When you practise a method in order to achieve enlightenment, bliss, a quiet mind or a state of tranquillity, it obviously makes the mind mechanical.

Q: What do you mean by observing greed without naming it as greed? Is it the same as observing the action of the past without naming it?

How is one to observe the whole content of consciousness, the obvious and the hidden, the superficial and the profound, in one look?

Meditation is putting aside altogether everything that man has conceived of himself and the world.

Q: What is intuition?

Q: When one is aware of one’s sexual appetites they seem to disappear. Can that awareness, attention, be maintained all the time?

Q: Can we be aware of what goes on when we are asleep?

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of Energy

Why does pleasure play such an important part in our lives?

When there is the quality of deep, passionate freedom, then sex has its own place. Then what is chastity?

The word ‘innocence’ means a mind that does not hurt or receive hurts, but yet is totally vulnerable. Such a mind is a chaste mind.

What is love?

Death, love and living are interrelated.

The content of consciousness is consciousness. Without the content is there consciousness?

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of Energy

Q: What is the difference between analysis and examination of one’s immediate reactions? 

Q: I am full of fears, deep-rooted uncertainties - how am I to be completely free of them?

When I analyse myself and my reactions or behaviour, there is the act and the actor. There is a division between the two and that creates conflict between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’.

At the moment of actual fear there is no division.

How is it possible to look at life non-fragmentarily?

What takes place when I say I am not looking for an answer, I am not expecting a thing? What goes on in the mind?

To find out what death is, I must have energy.

Can I live without fear?

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of Energy

Can we have a relationship, and therefore co-operation, without the authority of the image?

How am I consciously to examine all the images which lie hidden in the recesses of my mind?

Q: If the mind is in a state of disorder, what can it do?

When there is no observer in attention there is no image-forming at all.

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of Energy

Can man ever be free, not only of the superficial conditioning of a particular culture, but also of the much deeper conditioning, of which most of us are unconscious?

The demand for psychological security is much deeper than the demand for physiological security.

How is thought to function beautifully, efficiently, healthily and not create division between people?

Is there a field which is not measurable by thought? 

There must be a learning of observation in which thought doesn’t interfere at all.

How am I to be aware of the unconscious, hidden images?

Can there be silence from which thought can operate?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of Living

Q: What place has will in meditation?

Can you be choicelessly aware of this movement of desire, control, will, action?

What is space? Do we have space? Can the mind have space? When the mind is occupied with family, business, God, drink, sex, is there space? When knowledge occupies the whole field of the mind there is no space. Outward space is not going to give inner space.

There is no silence when there is direction. Can the mind empty itself of its content? Can the mind, the brain, the body be really silent? When the mind is utterly silent what is the immeasurable? In silence, time stops.

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of Living

Q: What is meditation?

Do we accept the orthodox, traditional, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi meditation, or could we put away all that and ask: what is meditation?

To start from not knowing what meditation is, then I'm free to flow in the inquiry.

Is meditation divorced from daily living or does meditation cover the whole field of existence?

In my inquiry am I awake or is the past so alive that it is dictating my life in the present?

Is there a way of living without control? Can I live a life of meditation in which there is no control?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of Living

How am I to inquire into religion?

What is religion, what is God, what is immortality, what is beauty? Can the mind put aside totally the structure of thought with regard to religion?

Can the mind be free of the authority of another, however divine or not divine? Can the mind put away everything that man has taught, invented, imagined about religion, God? Can wisdom be sought through a book, a teacher, from another, through sacrifice, torture, renunciation?

Can the mind be free of all the things that are born of fear, desire, pleasure?

Your thoughts, speech and behaviour are the very essence of religion. If they are not, religion can't exist.

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of Living

Q: What is religion?

In the West and the East, in the world of Islam, Buddhism or Christianity the same principle goes on, worshipping an image which has been created. It is the human being that has created the image. Can the mind observe this phenomenon and see its own demand for security, permanency, and deny all that?

Why does the mind divide life, accepting authority in one way and denying it in another? We accept the tyranny of a petty little guru with fanciful ideas and reject a political tyranny or a dictatorship.

What is the importance of authority? What is behind this acceptance of authority?
