Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom

Can we act without ideation? 

Immortality is not an idea. It is something beyond ideation, thought and the bundle of memory which is all the ‘me’. 

Love is not a thought process. 

Q: What place has criticism in relationship?

Q: When you speak of timelessness, it seems you must mean something besides a sequence of events. Do you perhaps mean that by knowing what part of you is eternal, then time no longer becomes a means to an end, or a means to progress?

Q: Is there a gulf, an interval of any duration, between my perceiving something, and being or realizing it? 

Q: You often speak of living, experiencing, and yet being as nothing. What is this state of being as nothing consciously?

Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom

Why is it that we dominate, consciously or unconsciously?

To submit oneself to another is the negative form of domination. We shall not be able to solve this problem by thinking in terms of opposites. 

Is not domination a process of isolation, which denies relationship?

Can there be relationship between two people if there is any sense of domination or submissiveness? 

Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action in the present? 

Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self-knowledge? 

Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your state of being and thereby gain authority for themselves?

Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom

The problems of life do not demand a method, because they are so vital and alive that if we approach with a method we totally misunderstand and don’t adequately meet that problem. 

Where there is efficiency there is ruthlessness.

The means and the end are not separate.

Reality or God is something that cannot come by a technique, a means, or through a long, determined practice and discipline. 

Aloneness implies no means. You are not alone when you have a means. 

Q: What is the right relationship, if any, between the individual and the collective, the mass?

Q: What is the significance of pain and suffering?

Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom

One who is sincere can never be simple because he who is trying to be sincere always has the desire to pattern or approximate himself to an idea. 

Self-knowledge can be discovered more fully, deeply, widely, only when there is passive awareness, which is not the exertion of will. 

In the search for self-knowledge we get caught in self-consciousness. Being caught we make the thing in which one is caught the most important thing. 

To go beyond self-consciousness there must be freedom from the desire to achieve a result, because the achievement of a result is what the mind wants. 

Q: Would you please explain what you mean by dying daily?

Q: How does a truth when repeated become a lie? What really is a lie? 

Q: I think I can help, but whatever I say or do to another is interpreted as interference and as domineering. Why does this happen to me?

Q: What is aloneness? Is it a mystical state?

Krishnamurti: Self-Knowledge Is the Beginning of Wisdom

Q: Ideas do separate, but ideas also bring people together. Is this not the expression of love?

Q: Would you kindly explain the distinction you make between factual and psychological memory?

Q: Are we not seeking, really, happiness, and is there not serenity in life, that true being of which you speak?

To understand something, must there not be a passivity of the mind? 

The mind can be empty only when the whole content of the mind is understood.

Krishnamurti: A Total Revolution of the Mind

You cannot look at a problem if you are depending on your personal inclination or guided by temperament.

If you are compelled to act according to circumstances, you cannot possibly be concerned with the total human being.

When inclination, temperament and circumstance are understood, one can face man’s immense problem.

If you depend on someone to tell you how to uncondition yourself, you are conditioning yourself according to their ideas.

Can the mind free itself and therefore meet every problem of life anew?

To see anything there must be light, and to have light there must be care. With clarity and care you can observe.

Clarity and care are denied when you condemn or justify what you see.

Krishnamurti: A Total Revolution of the Mind

If you divide time as the immediate and the future, you create an environment of conflict and contradiction between what is and what should be.

Time is a movement we have divided into yesterday, today and tomorrow. As long as you divide it you must always be in conflict.

When one pursues the ideal, one avoids the actual.

How can the conditioned mind change, bring about a complete mutation?

What happens to the mind that is no longer thinking in terms of time and will to achieve?

Krishnamurti: A Total Revolution of the Mind

Is it possible to bring about a radical revolution in this life?

Is it possible for a human being to make the mind young, fresh, innocent and tremendously alive?

In the field of consciousness there is nothing new.

As thought cannot bring about mutation, what is its function?

Is it possible to die to thought?

What is death?

The observer is fear, the thinker who creates time between the observer and the observed.

To observe death is to observe life.

Krishnamurti: A Total Revolution of the Mind

Total action is intelligence but we live in fragments.

Is it possible to have great energy without any conflict?

Inattention breeds mischief. To know when you are inattentive is to be attentive.

Only when effort ceases is there an unbounding energy inwardly so that the mind remains crystal clear and can tackle any problem.

We need energy and energy is wasted when there is conflict.

Out of silence there is understanding, not out of chattering.

As long as there is demand for pleasure there must be conflict.

Meditation is clarity and silence. That very silence is discipline, not discipline in order to achieve silence.

Krishnamurti: Malibu 1970, Students Discussion

What is it to listen?

Can you prevent images forming, without suppressing or resisting?

What does it mean to be related?

How do you stop the machinery that builds self-image?

When you act in the presence of danger, what takes place?

There is division in oneself – how does it arise?

When are you aware of yourself?

I love you and I am jealous – is that love?
