To understand reality, or for that immensity to come into being, one must understand the process of one’s own thinking. How is it possible to go into the deeper layers of consciousness? If we do not name, then perhaps it’s possible to go into the deeper layers of consciousness. To see things as they are requires enormous alertness of mind. Q: I understand intellectually that I am the resentment and hatred I feel, but I cannot cope with it. Can you show me a way?

Can there be a total perception which completely heals the brain? What benefit has culture? Does speech come before thought? Is it possible to say something without the operation of thought? Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? Is attention a conscious process? Is love the factor of profound change?

To live in this world with intelligence, in spite of all the complications. Is it possible to be free of fear, not only the superficial fear in relationship but the deep-rooted fear? Thought nourishes, sustains and gives continuity to fear and pleasure. When you are learning, your mind is awake. Truth isn’t second-hand; you can’t get it through a guru, a book, you have to learn about it. The beauty of learning is that you don’t know what truth is. What is love?

Why is thought divisive? The desire to change in a particular direction gives an energy that is divisive. Will you free the mind taking time, through analysis, or can you look totally and therefore be totally free? Does choiceless rejection of the false give a different kind of energy? Does a foundation give me direction or does it bring confusion? Is the operation of intelligence insight? Questions from the audience followed the talk.

Where there is authority there can be no discovery of something new. Relationship based on an idea cannot be a self-revealing process. Self-knowledge is understood, uncovered and its process revealed through relationship. Is it possible to love without the interference of the mind? When the mind becomes supreme, all-important, then there can be no affection. Q: what is that thinking that must come to an end? What do you mean by thinking and thought?

Without self-knowledge, we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the mind. It’s only in relationship that one can know oneself as one is. A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an uncreative, repetitive mind. Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is creative.

In listening to you, I feel that the distinction or space between ideal and practice is illusory.

Is there self-progress? Conflict. Security. Any form of division within oneself is a source of conflict. Can the brain be quiet?

How does it happen that the deep layers hidden in consciousness can be exposed? Comparison between what is with what has been, and what will be, is the process of fear....

What is the relationship of the brain to the totality of the mind? Fear of not being, fear of isolation, fear of not having pleasure, fear of having no relationship, is the soil from which the stem of contradiction grows. I want to be free of this stem to see what happens if there is no attachment, no detachment, because I am not afraid. Is there a peace with no entity saying, ‘I am peaceful?'

How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in, or do I observe it without the observer? Without the mind being free, you cannot live in order.

What is the relationship to society of a man who has insight? What is his action with regard to war and the whole world?

Thought and the brain. Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? Why has the self become important? Can there be only sensation, thought and no desire? Can desire—which brings illusion, self-deception and all the complications of changing desires—can the root of desire be dissipated? What prevents one from having a real insight? That is, seeing the truth of desire and therefore end it. Is it that we have never asked this question? When there is no desire whatsoever then there is a total revolution, and that will affect the consciousness of man.

Can the intellect, a fragment, ever be serious? Serious in the sense of a sustained observation without any distortion. Control. What is living? How does it happen that one can be completely harmonious? What does awareness mean.

Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought.

Inattention and attention. Observing without the word. What is the function of sleep? Is love a matter of culture, a thing of pleasure and therefore dependency? Attention Leads to Learning—21st March 1970.

To communicate, we must know that the word is not the thing and also be in that state of mind whose quality is attention, care. That can only take place if we are serious. We are the world and the world is us. To bring about a radical transformation, which is so essential in society, there must be radical transformation in ourselves. Analysis of violence does not end violence, nor is violence ended by thinking of non-violence.

L'enseignement de Krishnamurti repose sur la conviction que les transformations de la société ne peuvent se faire qu'au terme d'une transformation des individus. Critique vis-à-vis des religions et des sectes, Krishnamurti n'aura de cesse de répéter que le bonheur passe par le refus de tout type d'autorité. C'est le sens des multiples conférences qu'il a données pendant des dizaines d'années, partout dans le monde. "Dès l'instant où vous suivez quelqu'un, vous cessez de suivre la Vérité."

The Urgency of Change Krishnamurthy ki sarvadhik chunautipurva pustak hai, jaisa ki 1971 mein London se prakashit iske mool angrezi sankaran ke mukhpristh par ingit kiya gaya tha.

Voici le traité de la seule révolution qui vaille : la libération intérieure. L'homme en cage, prisonnier des dogmatismes et des conformismes de pensée, est une ombre illusoire. De l'exigence spirituelle présente de façon plus ou moins confuse dans chaque être humain, jusqu'à cette authentique libération, nous sommes conviés ici à parcourir toutes les étapes : se connaître soi-même, surmonter la peur, découvrir peu à peu le silence et la plénitude.
