Can one bring about order without understanding disorder? Is control necessary for order? Why do we need control when there is understanding of "what is"? Can a petty mind experience anything other than its own projections and activities? To see clearly, musn't the ind be quiet? If you see this extraordinary thing going on in your life, then it is everything. Then you are the teacher, the student, the beauty of the cloud and that is love. http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/what-is-meditation-part-4-of-4.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/_qNV31vrRvg/understanding-meditation-requires-order-part-3-of-4.php<p>San Diego State College, California April 1970, 3rd Public Talk.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/understanding-meditation-requires-order-part-3-of-4.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/2VSkt37V8Hg/can-the-human-mind-be-completly-free-of-fear-part-2-of-4.php<p>San Diego State College, California April 1970, 2nd Public Talk.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/can-the-human-mind-be-completly-free-of-fear-part-2-of-4.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/VCzkivrYI7E/how-does-one-learn-about-oneself-part-1-of-4.php<p>This Talk is the first one of a series of 4 talks given in San Diego State College,5th April, 1970 in which Krishnamurti discusses the human condition and the structure of fear.

It's not just mental attention, it's attention with all your being.</p> <p>You have established a kind of relationship, perhaps very profound, when there is love. I may reject you but you have that responsibility of love - not only to the particular person but to the whole of humanity.</p> <p>What is an enemy? Is there such thing as an enemy?</p> <p>I am mankind. Because I suffer or I enjoy, I go through all the tortures, and so do you. You are the rest of mankind, and therefore you have a terrible responsibility for that, in that.</p> <p>Is there anything sacred in life? Not thought creating something sacred and then worshipping that as sacred, which is absurd.</p> <p>If there is something beyond, why do we create the symbol, the intermediary?</p> <p>If I want to find out if there is anything sacred I must start very near. The very near is me. And can I free myself from fear, agony, sorrow, despair? When there is freedom I can move, I can climb mountains.</p> <p>Is silence of the mind a state of attention?</p> <p>What is a healthy mind?</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/what-is-a-healthy-mind-.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/2lY5iOODhMI/the-need-for-security-.php<p>Why do we want security?</p> <p>Am I separate from the agony I go through?</p> <p>When one is frightened, actually, there is no me separate from fear.</p> <p>The whole content of one's consciousness is unclear, messy. There is no part of it that is clear. We think there is a part, which is the observer, separating himself from the mess. The observer is the observed.</p> <p>When there is observation that consciousness is messy, that fact can only exist when there is total attention. And when there is total attention, confusion doesn't exist anymore. It is only inattention that creates the problems.</p> <p>If I know how to read myself I don't need anybody to tell me. But we have never attempted deeply to read the book of myself. I come to you and say, 'Please, help me to read,' and then the whole thing is lost.</p> <p>You must be free to examine. Free from your prejudice, from your previous experience, otherwise you can't examine. You can't investigate. Investigare means explore, push it, push it, further and further. Are you willing to do that, so that actually the self is not?</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/the-need-for-security-.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/lpNhuN0bJ6o/psychological-suffering-.phpWhat is security? I have an image about myself. I am a great cook, a great scientist, a great carpenter, whatever you will. I have got that picture in myself and you come along and put a pin into it. And that gets hurt, the image gets hurt. The image is me. What is a human being? You are not basically different from me. You may be tall, you may be born in England, I may be born in Africa, I have dark skin, but deep down, the river, the content of the river is the water. The river is not an Asiatic river or European river, it is a river. Love is not English, American or Indian. Agony is not yours or mine, it is agony. But we identify ourselves with agony - it is my agony, which is not yours. Why do we want to identify with something? Is there a learning about oneself which is not constant accumulation about myself?http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-video/psychological-suffering-.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/LEfKMqZf7pE/the-roots-of-psychological-disorder.php<p>Q: What is the source of psychological disorder?<br />Is not the self the beginning of all disorder?<br />I have created society through my anxiety, through my desire for security, through my desire to have power.

Right? And therefore there is always this self-centred movement. And the society which we have created is based on these self-centred problems, self-centred ambitions, fulfilment and self-centred discipline which says, 'I must', which brings about violence. We are enquiring into all that, which we have, and also we are enquiring into a mind - your mind - mind - you understand? When we use the word 'mind', it is not your mind, or my mind - mind. Because your mind is like the mind of thousands and millions of people. Right? Striving, struggling, demanding, following, accepting, obeying, idealising, belonging to some religion, sorrow, pain, anxiety, your mind is that and the other minds are like that. Right? So your mind is not yours. It is the mind. I don't know if you see this. You may not see this because your vanity, your sense of individual importance may prevent this observation, which is actual. Right? I wonder if you see this. That is why, until we really understand this, that we human beings are so similar psychologically, we human beings right throughout the world are so unhappy. They all pray, but prayer doesn't answer this problem. They are still unhappy, still striving, still despairing. This is the common mind. And so when we are enquiring we are enquiring into the human being, not me and you. We are human beings. I wonder if you see all this</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/listen-audio/how-can-we-bring-about-a-good-society-part-7-of-7.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/eUzKgXNor0I/intelligence--love-and-compassion-part-6-of-7.php<p>How shall we find it? Is it dependent on another? Follow this carefully. Can another, however much he may think he is lord and this and the other, can another lead you or help you to that? Right? Please ask this question. Can a group, can a community, can a series of ideas, conclusions, help you to that? Or one must be a light to oneself, not the light which has been kindled at the other's lamp or candle, or fire. You are following this? Please, give your heart to understand all this! Which means not only your heart, your mind, your brain. Freedom is not acting according to whatever you like. That is too childish, which is what is happening in the world, because everybody is doing what they want. And any prevention, any restraint on that is considered lack of fulfilment. Therefore permissiveness in every direction, religiously, socially, morally, is encouraged. And this permissiveness, that is doing exactly what one likes, or saying 'It appeals to me, I feel good in that', denies freedom - we are talking psychologically not freedom from law, from the policeman, from taxes - but freedom from the dependence on another psychologically, because the other, when he instructs you from his knowledge, from his position, from his status, that knowledge is still part of ignorance, because knowledge can never be complete, therefore it is always part of ignorance. Right? I wonder if you see that. Of course.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/listen-audio/intelligence--love-and-compassion-part-6-of-7.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/LcqsgTXi15U/are-desire-and-time-responsible-for-fear-part-5-of-7.php<p>So how do we, human beings, go into this question together whether it is possible to eradicate totally this poisonous self-interest, self-centred activity? Right? I do not know if you have ever asked even that question. When you do ask that question you have already begun to be a little more intelligent. Naturally. So we are going this morning, together, to think this problem over, together. Thinking together, not I tell you and you accept, or reject, but together find out if this movement of the ego, the self, can ever end. Right? Are you interested in this? No, no, don't say it's... nod your heads. This is a very serious problem. You may be stimulated while you are in the tent by the speaker - and I hope you are not. But you may be stimulated and therefore rather excited and say, 'Yes, I agree with you. We must do this,' - and when you leave the tent you forget all about it and carry on in your old ways. So together, you putting aside your particular prejudice, your particular gurus, your particular conclusions, together we are going to investigate this question.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/listen-audio/are-desire-and-time-responsible-for-fear-part-5-of-7.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/nfh25_phDpI/can-goodness--love-and-truth-be-born-of-discipline-part-4-of-7.php<p>Can one listen without effort, first? Not to the speaker only but to learn the art of listening, which means not creating an image about the speaker, about the person who is speaking - your wife, your husband, and so on - not to have an image when you are listening. Right? Not to have a concept, not to hold on to one's own knowledge and as you are listening interpret what is being said according to your knowledge. All this denies actual listening. If you want to see something very clearly you must give your attention. Attention implies not concentration, just observation, to see what is actually happening. Like a good scientist looking through a microscope, he must look what is actually taking place. But if he has a hypothesis, a conclusion, with that he is looking, then he is incapable of pure observation of what is going on. Right? Please. Therefore there is the art of listening, the art of observing, seeing, then there is the art of thinking together. From that arises the art of learning. We will go into all this presently.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/listen-audio/can-goodness--love-and-truth-be-born-of-discipline-part-4-of-7.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/GHMW238iJyE/is-there-security-at-all--pyschologically-part-3-of-7.php<p>If one may, let us think over together this question. That is, if you are willing, put aside your particular vanity, your particular prejudice, your own conclusions and let's think over this problem together. Which means you are not accepting what the speaker is saying, nor are you accepting your own conclusions because you have none, you have put them aside. So let us think this over very carefully, and this may be one of the factors, that human beings are so frightened. Why does the mind cling to a particular memory, to a particular experience, hold on to a belief which has lost all meaning, why? Let's talk it over together.</p>http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/listen-audio/is-there-security-at-all--pyschologically-part-3-of-7.phphttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JKOnline/~3/371f48Tsuwk/20130521.phpA mind that is seeking is not a passionate mind and to come upon love without seeking it, is the only way to find it- to come upon it unknowingly and not as a result of any effort or experience.

A man who does know what passion is will never know love because love cn come into being only when there is total self-abandonment.

Can you say, 'I wil practice love. I will sit down day after day and think about it. I will practice being kind and gentle and force myself to pay attention to others? Do you mean to say that you can discipline yourself to love, exercise the will to love? When you exercise discipline and will to love, love goes out of the window.

We want to have our thinking confirmed and corroborated by another, whereas to ask a question is to ask it of yourself. What I say has very little value. You will forget it the moment you shut this book, or you will remember and repeat certain phrases, or you will compare what you have read here with some other book- but you will not face your own life.And that is all that matters- your life, yourself, your pettiness, your shallowness, your brutality, your violence, your greed, your ambition, your daily agony and endless sorrow- that is what you have to understand and nobody on earth or in heaven is going to save you from it but yourself.

This thing cannot be invited. Please understand that very simple fact. It cannot be invited, it cannot be sought after, because the mind is too silly, too small, your emotions are too shoddy, your way of life too confused for that enormity, that immense something, to be invited into your little house, your little corner of living which has been trampled and spat upon. You cannot invite it. To invite it you must know it and you cannot know it. It doesn't matter who says it, the moment he says, 'I know', he does not know. The moment you say you have found it you have not found it. If you say you have experienced it, you have never experienced it.

That energy is gathered to its highest point when the observer is the observed, in which there is no time interval at all. Then there will be energy without motive and it will find its own channel of action because then the 'I' does not exist.

All action is movement and all action is energy. All desire is energy. All feeling is energy. All thought is energy. All living is energy. All life is energy. If that energy is allowed to flow without any contradiction, without any friction, without any conflict, then that energy is boundless, endless. When there is no friction there are no frontiers to energy. It is friction which gives energy limitations. So, having once seen this, why is it that the human being always brings friction into energy? Why does he create friction in this movement which we call life? Is pure energy, energy without limitation, just an idea to him? Does it have no reality?

Meditation is not control of thought, for when thought is controlled it breeds conflict in the mind, but when you understand the structure and origin of thought, which we have already been into, then thought will not interfere. That very understanding of the structure of thinking is its own discipline which is meditation.

In that very demand that I must be happy is unhappiness. When one makes an effort to be good, in that very goodness is its opposite, evil. Everything affirmed contains its own opposite, and effort to overcome strengthens that against which it strives. When you demand an experience of truth or reality, that very demand is born out of your discontent with what is and therefore the demand creates the opposite. And in the opposite there is what has been. So one must be free of this incessant demand, otherwise there will be no end to the corridor of duality. This means knowing yourself so completely that the mind is no longer seeking.

Is there anything new or original in experience? Experience is a bundle of memories responding to a challenge and it can respond only according to its background, and the cleverer you are at interpreting the experience the more it responds. So you have to question not only the experience of another but your own experience. If you don't recognize an experience it isn't an experience at all. Every experience has already been experienced or you wouldn't recognize it. You recognize an experience as being good, bad, beautiful, holy and so on according to your conditioning, and therefore the recognition of an experience must inevitably be old.

Such a mind is limitless and that is the only truth, that is the only reality.

It is like going through a small hole to an enormous, wide, expansive ocean, to an immeasurable, timeless state. But this you cannot understand verbally unless you have understood the whole structure of consciousness and the meaning of pleasure, sorrow and despair, and the brain cells themselves have become quiet. Then perhaps you may come upon that mystery which nobody can reveal to you and nothing can destroy.

One can discipline it, control it, shape it, but such torture does not make the mind quiet; it merely makes it dull. Obviously the mere pursuit of the ideal of having a quiet mind is valueless because the more you force it the more narrow and stagnant it becomes. Control in any form, like suppression, produces only conflict.

After all, goodness can only flower in space just as virtue can flower only when there is freedom. We may have political freedom but inwardly we are not free and therefore there is no space. No virtue, no quality that is worth while, can function or grow without this vast space within oneself. And space and silence are necessary because it is only when the mind is alone, uninfluenced, untrained, not held by infinite varieties of experience, that it can come upon something totally new.

Even when we are alone our lives are crowded by so many influences, so much knowledge, so many memories of so many experiences, so much anxiety, misery and conflict that our mind become duller and duller, more and more insensitive, functioning in a monotonous routine. Are we ever alone? Or are we carrying with us all the burdens of yesterday?"

It can be understood later by thought, verbally, but the understanding of a new fact is not reality to thought. Thought can never solve any psychological problem. However clever, however cunning, however erudite, whatever the structure thought creates through science, through an electronic brain, through compulsion or necessity, thought is never new and therefore it can never answer any tremendous question. The old brain cannot solve the enormous problem of living.

Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter. Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. There is energy and there is matter. That is all life is. We may think thought is not matter but it is. Thought is matter as an ideology. Where there is energy it becomes matter. Matter and energy are interrelated. The one cannot exist without the other, and the more harmony there is between the two, the more balance, the more active the brain cells are. Thought has set up this pattern of pleasure, pain, fear, and has been functioning inside it for thousands of years and cannot break the pattern because it has created it.

Thought in its demand for pleasure brings its own bondage. Thought is the breeder of duality in all our relationships: there is violence in us which gives us pleasure but there is also the desire for peace, the desire to be kind and gentle. This is what is going on all the time in all our lives. Thought not only breeds this duality in us, this contradiction, but it also accumulates the innumerable memories we have had of pleasure and pain, and from these memories it is reborn.

So it is up to you. There is no leader, there is no teacher, there is nobody to tell you what to do. You are alone in this mad brutal world.
