 Dialogue 3 Malibu, California, USA January 27, 1972 Q: Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching? https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/mind-not-empty-can-never-find-truth 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. https://www.awakin.o...

https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/chapter-8 That is why you should have very strong feelings - feelings of passion, anger - and watch them, play with them, find out the truth of them; for if you merely suppress them, if you say, "I must not get angry, I must not feel passionate, because it is wrong", you will find that your mind is gradually being encased in an idea and thereby becomes very shallow. ... In this country, unfortunately, as all over the world, we care so little, we have no deep feeling about anything. Most of us are intellectuals - intellectuals in the superficial sense of being very clever, full of words and theories about what is right and what is wrong, about how we should think, what we should do. Mentally we are highly developed, but inwardly there is very little substance or significance; and it is this inward substance that brings about true action, which is not action according to an idea. That is why you should have very strong feelings - feelings of pa...

  https://www.evidenceinvestor.com/tag/j-krishnamurti/ J. Krishnamurti, one of the greatest teachers India has produced, writes this in his landmark book, Education and the Significance of Life: “The ignorant man is not the unlearned, but he who does not know himself, and the learned man is stupid when he relies on books, on knowledge and on authority to give him understanding. “Understanding comes only through self-knowledge, which is awareness of one’s total psychological process. “Thus education, in the true sense, is the understanding of oneself, for it is within each one of us that the whole of existence is gathered. What we now call education is a matter of accumulating information and knowledge from books, which anyone can do who can read. Such education offers a subtle form of escape from ourselves and, like all escapes, it inevitably creates increasing misery.”

The word is not actually the thing, the word Peter is not me, not my... My wife, my husband, boy or girl friends ... :) You know... (not "my") Aha She's not your girl friend, she's our girl friend :)

  To have no center is to have no problem. action of listening. You can not love as long as you have problem ?

 Have you ever sat very quietly without any movement? You try it, sit really still, with your back straight, and observe what your mind is doing. Don't try to control it, don't say it should not jump from one thought to another, from one interest to another, but just be aware of how your mind is jumping. Don't do anything about it, but watch it as from the banks of a river you watch the water flow by. In the flowing river there are so many things - fishes, leaves, dead animals - but it is always living, moving, and your mind is like that. It is everlastingly restless, flitting from one thing to another like a butterfly. When you listen to a song, how do you listen to it? You may like the person who is singing, he may have a nice face, and you may follow the meaning of the words; but behind all that, when you listen to a song, you are listening to the tones and to the silence between the tones, are you not? In the same way, try sitting very quietly without fidgeting, without...

 Series II, chapter 28 https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-ii-chapter-28-purpose-life Sir, you must begin very near to go far. You want the immense without seeing what is close by. You want to know the significance of life. Life has no beginning and no end; it is both death and life; it is the green leaf, and the withered leaf that is driven by the wind; it is love and its immeasurable beauty, the sorrow of solitude and the bliss of aloneness. It cannot be measured, nor can the mind discover it. https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/krishnamurti-meaning/ https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/can-thought-reveal-meaning-life nah ?

       Friends, I think that most of us think that it would be a marvellous world if there were no real exploitation, and that it would be a splendid world if every human being had the capacity to live naturally, fully and humanly.  https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/auckland-new-zealand-talk-businessmen-6th-april-1934/%20 But there are very few who want to do anything about it. As ideals, as a Utopia, as a thing of a dream, everyone indulges in it, but very few desire action. You cannot bring about a Utopia nor can there be the cessation of exploitation without action.     Now, there can be action, collective action, only if there is first of all individual thinking out of that problem. Every human being, in sane moments, feels the horror of real exploitation, whether by the priest, by the business man, by the doctor, by the politician, or by anybody. We all feel really, in our hearts, the appalling cruelty of exploitation, if we have given a sing...

 Is the mind capable of seeing thought? https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/mind-capable-seeing-thought

  The demand to be safe in a relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear . The seeking for security invites insecurity . Have you ever found security in any of your relationships ? Have you? Most of us want the security of loving and being loved , but there is love when each one of us is seeking his own security, his own particular path? We are not loved because we don’t know how to love. Is love an idea ? If it is, it can be cultivated, nourished, cherished, pushed around, and twisted in any way you like. When you say you love God what does it mean? It means that you love a projection of your own imagination, a projection of yourself clothed in certain forms of respectability according to what you think is noble and holy; so to say, ‘I love God’, is absolute nonsense. When you worship God, you worship yourself, and that is not love. In what we call human love, there is pleasure, competition, jealousy, the desire to possess, to hold, to control and to interfere with another’s th...

https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-iii-chapter-16-flame-discontent ... Are the two desires different? Most people are discontented, but they generally tame it by finding something which gives them satisfaction, and then they function mechanically and go to seed, or they become bitter, cynical, and so on. Is that what you are after? "I don't want to become cynical, or just go to seed, that would be too stupid; I only want to find a way to soften the ache of this uncertainty." The ache exists only when you resist uncertainty, when you want to be free of it. "Do you mean I must remain in this state?" Please listen. You condemn the state you are in; your mind is opposing it. Discontent is a flame that must be kept burning brightly, and not be smothered by some interest or activity that is pursued as a reaction from the pain of it. Discontent is painful only when it is resisted. A man who is merely satisfied, without understanding the full significance of disco...

  In this torn desert world there is no love because pleasure and desire play the greatest roles, yet without love your daily life has no meaning. And you cannot have love if there is no beauty. Beauty is not something you see - not a beautiful tree, a beautiful picture, a beautiful building or a beautiful woman. There is beauty only when your heart and mind know what love is. Without love and that sense of beauty there is no virtue, and you know very well that, do what you will, improve society, feed the poor, you will only be creating more mischief, for without love there is only ugliness and poverty in your own heart and mind. But when there is love and beauty, whatever you do is right, whatever you do is in order.  http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kr/love.html ove is something that is new, fresh, alive. It has no yesterday and  no tomorrow. It is beyond the turmoil of thought. It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in...

 Because this is very important to understand whether time, not chronological time, but psychological time, can that come to an end ?  Or must there be always till I die this movement of I will be, I must not be, I should be, I shall not be regret, remembrance - you follow ? the whole psychological activity in which time is involved.  That is, can time come to an end? ... So therefore we must understand the nature of time. That is, psychologically, inwardly we are caught in a network of time.  I am going to die, I am afraid and I remember the happy things or painful things. And the brain is functioning, living in time. Right? You can see this yourself. This is an obvious fact. ... So part of meditation is to find out for oneself whether time can stop. Not - you can't do this saying, 'Time must stop' it has no meaning. But to understand the whole structure and the nature and the depth of this question. Right? That means: is it possible for the brain to realize that it...

  Clarity can exist only when there is freedom to observe, when one is capable of looking, observing, watching. That is only possible when there is complete, total freedom, otherwise there is always distortion in our observation.  I think that is fairly simple: simple in words but, in action, it becomes terribly difficult.  So, is it possible to be free of all the distorting factors in our outlook? When you observe yourself or another, society, the politicians, the environment, the whole cultural, religious movement that is going on in the world - so-called religious movement - can you observe without any prejudice, without taking any sides, without projecting our own personal conclusions, your beliefs, your dogmas, your experience and knowledge,  and therefore, be totally free of all that, to observe clearly ? That is one problem / That is the second problem. The third problem is compassion. The word is not the thing.  One may describe what is compassion in a m...

 We are never an outsider and remain outside; we feel ourselves incapable of remaining outside, or are afraid not to be in the current of the commonplace. As parents and educators, we make the family and the school what we are. Mediocrity really means going only half-way up the mountain and never reaching the top. We want to be like everybody else, or if we want to be slightly different, we keep it carefully hidden. We are not talking of eccentricity, which is another form of self-expression, which is what everyone is doing in his own little way. Eccentricity is only tolerated if you are well-to-do or gifted. If you are poor and act peculiarly, you are snubbed and ignored. But few of us are talented; we are workers carrying on with our particular professions. The world is becoming more and more mediocre. Our education, our occupation, our superficial acceptance of traditional religion are making us mediocre and rather sloppy. We are concerned here with our daily life, not with the ...

Small Group Discussion 2 in Gstaad, 16 August 1964 To see the fact is one of the most difficult things to do. I know when I am lying - full stop - it is a fact. To see the fact requires a great sense of humility. Only a free mind can see the fact. https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/see-fact-one-most-difficult-things-do-i-know-when-i-am-l https://jkrishnamurti.org/content/series-i-chapter-37-idea-and-fact     The idea is more important to us than the fact; the concept of what one should be has more significance than what one is. The future is always more alluring than the present. The image, the symbol, is of greater worth than the actual; and on the actual we try to superimpose the idea, the pattern. So we create a contradiction between what is and what should be. What should be is the idea, the fiction, and so there is a conflict between the actual and the illusion - not in themselves, but in us. We like the illusion better than the actual; the idea is more appealing, more sa...

Do you still think you can fill the void of loneliness? You have tried every means of filling this void - have you succeeded in filling it, or have you merely covered it up?  https://www.reddit.com/r/Krishnamurti/comments/7py81z/for_those_people_disillusioned_with_krishnamurtis/ As long as a human being lives in the river of sorrow and does not end it, humanity will go on endlessly in that stream. But when there is an ending to that, there is a totally different dimension in which there is no beginning and no ending, and that is absolutely timeless. This you have to come upon by living it. When you are attached to something, end it today, not tomorrow. And one can. There is pleasure in attachment and possession. Look at this pleasure and see what the implications of that pleasure are: fear of losing, fear of not having the same thing tomorrow, jealousy, anxiety, hatred—all that comes out of that attachment. Seeing all this as a whole and instantly ending it is dying to it all now, ...
