The Necessity of Quieting the Mind
Quieting the mind is essential to perceive the unthinkable and experience immortality. By observing the mind without judgment, one can release energy that destroys mental slavery. Perception of what is real ignites creativity and understanding. Truth is found not through external structures like organizations or beliefs, but through self-awareness and direct observation.
Intelligence, Stillness, and Freedom
True intelligence lies in silent observation without the influence of past experiences. Intelligence is impersonal, not bound by associations or culture. Stillness in the face of sorrow or challenges leads to deeper insight and compassion. The mind must confront emptiness and loneliness without distractions to break free from dependence and sorrow.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (12 May 1895 – 17 February 1986) was an Indian philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life he was groomed to be the new World Teacher but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it. He stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasised that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.
