J. Krishnamurti

Why is there this inward disorder which naturally must express itself in outward disorder?  Can there be absolute order? What is the cause of the division in us as well as in the world?   Detachment is attachment. If I try to become detached I am attached to that detachment.   When there is complete attention there is no confusion.   When there is fear we become violent, we want to destroy in the name of god, in the name of religion, in the name of social revolution.  If you realise that fear is you there is no movement to be made.   Pleasure, love, suffering, fear are all entangled, all interrelated.  You must have a mind that is capable of receiving the whole universe, and that is possible only when the mind is clear of confusion and fear.

There is no Eastern thinking or Western thinking, there is only thinking. Truth is not yours or mine. It has no path to it.  A mind that is religious does not belong to any nationality, has no belief, but such a mind has exercised the quality of doubt so that it questions, doesn't obey the edicts of any religion, sect, or guru. We have banished religion from our life. We have banished death from our life. We have postponed it.  Why do we banish the actual demand for truth? Why does the mind live in time? Because we allow time, the fact becomes important. If there is no time, it is resolved.   Can you end your attachment instantly -- your anger, your violence, your greed, end while living?   Why should I take a certain position to meditate? Why should I practice -- to arrive where? You cannot experience enlightenment. When the mind is absolutely silent, without any movement of thought, then perhaps you will see something; perhaps there is something sacred beyond all words. This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​'​

Can we observe together what is living and what it means to die?   Is it possible while one is living, with all the turmoil, with that energy, capacity, to end attachment?   Why has religion played such a great part in our lives from the most ancient times until today?   A religious mind is complete without the disorder.   In meditation there is no system, no practice; but the clarity of perception of a mind that is free, that has no direction, no choice, and is free to observe.   Conflict exists only when there is a division. Where there is nationalistic, economic, or social division there must be conflict. Inwardly, where there is the division between the observer, the one who witnesses, the one who experiences, different from that which he experiences, there must be conflict.   A mind that is practicing, struggling, wanting to be silent is never silent.
