Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind

Is it possible for an individual to bring about a new mind?

Action can only come about when there is emotional contact with the fact.

If thought is not the instrument of inquiry, how is one to understand?

How is the past to be dissolved? 

The act of seeing.

You cannot attend if you are condemning.

Authority cripples all thought and brings about deterioration.

When the mind gives complete attention to seeing, it has broken down the past.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind

We are not individuals; we are the result of the collective.

Religions have failed, and education has not brought peace to the world.

The act of listening is the act of discovering the fact.

The disease of nationalism.

How is one to find a way out of this wilderness and chaos? It all depends on how you ask this question.

Understanding a fact is not to have an opinion about it but to have the capacity to look.

Krishnamurti: The State of Not-Knowing Is Intelligence

Is it possible to be free of the centre, so that the centre doesn’t create space around itself and build a wall?

Can the centre be still or fade away? 

Can consciousness empty itself of its content?

Is love within the field of consciousness?

If you don’t form an image now, the past images have no place.

Q: Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation?

The company of the good doesn’t teach me what is good and what is false or true. I have to see it.

Krishnamurti: The State of Not-Knowing Is Intelligence

Q: There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth?

One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it we ask for help.

If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?

Q: You speak against effort, but doesn’t the growth and well-being of all sides of man demand something like hard work of one sort or another?

Why is there this cult of effort? Why have I to make effort to reach God, enlightenment or truth?

Why do we divide energy at all?

The observer only comes into being when wanting to change ‘what is’. 

The state of not-knowing is intelligence.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Q: Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion?

Is a religious life to lead a good life?

A religious life is a life in which the self is not.

We get caught in the so-called mysterious. But when the self is not, there is a greater, vaster mystery.

Self-knowing is much more important than acquiring some kind of power.

What place has meditation in religious life?

Meditation is not control, is not a practice, is not an effort to achieve a glorious experience, or to remain in a particular state of consciousness.

If the self is, the religious life is not. Can one dissolve the self?

Why are certain human beings entrenched in the myth of Jesus or Krishna?

Attachment destroys freedom. 

Where there is freedom there is joy. It is that quality of mind that has this sense of joy and freedom that perceives.

Meditation means freedom and joy to observe, without any attachment, without any partial perception.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Q: Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching?

Can thought end right through one’s consciousness? Must thought not end for something new to be observed?

How does the mind look at itself? Does it look as an observer different from the observed, or without the observer and therefore there is only the observed?

Can consciousness empty itself of its content?

What has happened to the mind that has discarded the weight of becoming, of tradition, myth, gurus and authority?

A mind that has no space can never find truth. A mind that is not empty can never find truth.

Remaining with the fact of hurt.

When you are nothing, you love.

There is a movement in silence that has no beginning and no end, a movement that is always new.

Inquiry is different from effort, from seeking, from achievement.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Is there in me a place where there is no corruption, where there is real, absolute peace, order?

The stream of vulgarity has its source in the self, ‘the me’, the ego.

When there is no self, there is a responsibility for humanity.

What is the relationship between this stream, the self which is perpetuating the stream, and the unknown?

How is a man who is in the stream to understand instantly, without going through the evolutionary process?

You step out of the stream if you deny time, in the sense of becoming, being, achieving, comparing.

Can the mind, without any motive, negate the self?

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Q: One finds in various teachings the idea of masters, conscious entities who work for the good of mankind. Is there a reservoir of wisdom? Do such entities exist, or does man want to have myths?

There is the reservoir of goodness and the reservoir of violence. Is there something which is not these two, that is beyond these two?

Is your mind capable of not being held in the reservoirs of goodness or violence?

When you understand these two opposites and go beyond them, meditation is not in terms of vision or action, but the state of silence which then is operating, an energy which then flows. That energy has no character.

When one asks, ‘Is there a hierarchy, a master, a group of evolved entities?’ you are asking from a point of view, or from desire, from hope.

What is the relationship between the current of vulgarity and that which is beyond and above the opposites?

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Is there a permanent ‘me’?

Unless I am free from the vulgar, I will continue representing the whole vulgarity of man.

I lead the usual life, along the small river, following that current. I am that current and ‘the me’ is bound to continue in that stream, with millions of others. I’m not different from those millions of others.

When you say, ‘My brother is dead,’ and ask whether he is living, as a separate consciousness, I question whether he was ever separate from the stream.

There is no permanent self. If there was a permanent self, it would be this stream.

Realising that I am like the rest of the world, that there is no ‘me’ separate, I can incarnate if I step out of the stream.

Change takes place away from the stream; in the stream there is no change.

What happens if you step out of the stream? The stepping out is the incarnation.

When the man of the stream steps out and looks, he has compassion.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not

Q: Do good and evil really exist or are they simply conditioned points of view?

Goodness is total order, not only outwardly but inwardly especially.

Is virtue the outcome of planning?

You cannot will to do good. Either you are good or not good; you cannot will goodness.

Will is the concentration of thought as resistance.

Are poisonous snakes, sharks and the appalling, frighteningly cruel things in nature evil?

The moment we assert that there is absolute evil, that very assertion is the denial of the good.

Goodness implies total abnegation of the self, because ‘the me’ is always separative.

Order means behaviour in freedom. Freedom means love, not pleasure. When one observes all this, one sees very clearly that there is a marvellous sense of absolute order.
