91 • Gstaad 1965 (3/6) • Small Group Discussion 3: What Will Make Me See That Thought Breeds Frustration?

Krishnamurti: Thought, Stillness and TimeGstaad 1965, Small Group Discussions3/6: What Will Make Me See That Thought Breeds Frustration?
What is the function of thought?
Can the mind see the fact that thought will always breed frustration?
Function is necessary, but function with status, position and power must breed frustration.
Without frustration thought says to itself, ‘I am not seeking. I don’t want anything.’
If there is no thought, what happens? 
The very perception of the limitation of thought is the act of opening the door, rather than thought opening the door.
To function without prestige, without frustration, that itself is an extraordinary state, meaning to function without self-centred activity.

92 • Gstaad 1965 (4/6) • Small Group Discussion 4: From Where Do Attachment and Detachment Come?

Krishnamurti: Thought, Stillness and TimeGstaad 1965, Small Group Discussions4/6: From Where Do Attachment and Detachment Come?
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’?

93 • Gstaad 1965 (5/6) • Small Group Discussion 5: A Complete Stillness

Krishnamurti: Thought, Stillness and TimeGstaad 1965, Small Group Discussions 5/6: A Complete Stillness
Is there a single movement that will completely transform my whole way of life?
The passion is there but the perfume doesn’t take place. What am I to do?
Am I in a position of a man who for the first time is walking on a road by himself and discovering?
Does one know what a complete stillness means?
It is only from a very still mind that a mutation takes place.
Is there an ending to thought, therefore an ending to time?
If I have no thought and therefore no time, and so no wasting of energy, there is no movement, therefore there is complete stillness.
Is it possible to look at everything without thought, therefore without time, and so walk with silence?

94 • Gstaad 1965 (6/6) • Small Group Discussion 6: When the Mind Is Completely Quiet, How Can There Be Time?

Krishnamurti: Thought, Stillness and TimeGstaad 1965, Small Group Discussions6/6: When the Mind Is Completely Quiet, How Can There Be Time?
What does time mean to you, as a human being?
Is there such thing as existence?
Quietness has come because I have understood the nature of time, function, thought and pleasure.
What takes place when there is great intensity?
Thought has a movement in function. Here there is no movement which thought can recognise, because thought is not coming into this at all.
When time comes to an end, is there distance and space?
If you look at the mountain without the layer of thought as function, as the experiencer, what is space?
When there is no experiencer, no thinker, in that stillness is there time?
Time exists only when there is an observer.

95 • London 1969 (1/4) • Talk 1: Looking at Violence Without the Word

Krishnamurti: Without Freedom From the Known, the Possible Cannot Be CapturedLondon 1969, Public Meetings1/4: Looking at Violence Without the Word
Is it possible for the mind to be entirely free from conflict?
In the understanding of conflict is the possibility of right conduct.
Is the analyser different from the thing analysed?
What does it mean to see and understand something or to listen to somebody?
The act of seeing is the act of freedom from that which is, such as violence.
One has to be a teacher and pupil of oneself. There is no teacher outside.
Why does one build images?
The word brings its own division. Can you look at violence without the word?
Questions from the audience followed the talk.

96 • London 1969 (2/4) • Talk 2: Can the Mind Be Free of Fear?

Krishnamurti: Without Freedom From the Known, the Possible Cannot Be CapturedLondon 1969, Public Meetings2/4: Can the Mind Be Free of Fear?
Can there be complete psychological freedom?
Learning and freedom go together.
One cannot learn about oneself unless one is free.
To learn about oneself one must observe actually as one is, not according to patterns, formulas or concepts.
Can the mind resolve its conditioning and fears completely? Fear makes us accept conditioning.
Fear and pleasure arise through the structure of thought.
What place has thought in life?
The thinker is the thought.
Questions from the audience followed the talk.

97 • London 1969 (3/4) • Talk 3: A Way of Living in Which There Is No Division

Krishnamurti: Without Freedom From the Known, the Possible Cannot Be CapturedLondon 1969, Public Meetings3/4: A Way of Living in Which There Is No Division
To find a way of living with no fragmentation, one has to go deeply into what is love and death.
What is the relationship between pleasure and intelligence?
Is there a tomorrow psychologically?
Is it possible for the mind to be free of the past so that it is not bound by time?
All division must bring about conflict.
What is the deeper level of the mind?
Why do we give deep significance to the unconscious mind but don’t give great importance to the conscious mind?
What is the relationship between love and death?
Unless the mind changes radically our living has very little meaning.
Can one die from day to day to everything psychologically known?
Questions from the audience followed the talk.

98 • London 1969 (4/4) • Talk 4: Meditation and the Activity of Silence

Krishnamurti: Without Freedom From the Known, the Possible Cannot Be CapturedLondon 1969, Public Meetings4/4: Meditation and the Activity of Silence
Is truth ever to be found by seeking?
Why should one have any experience at all?
Light is light; it doesn’t ask for more light.
The desire for more experience is an escape from the actual, from ‘what is’.
Unless one lays the foundation of virtue, meditation becomes a trick to control the mind.
Any method that teaches how to meditate is obviously false.
Out of awareness of inattention there is attention. You don’t have to practise awareness.
What takes place when the thinker is the thought? Then does the mind wander at all?
Concentration is a form of resistance. Where there is resistance there is division and conflict.
Can the brain be made quiet?
The activity of silence is entirely different from the quality of self-centred activity.
Questions from the audience followed the talk.

99 • Madras 1979/80 (1/7) • Talk 1: The Flowering of the Seed of a Million Years

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings1/7: The Flowering of the Seed of a Million Years
If we are not capable of listening we are not capable of learning.
Man since the beginning of time has asked if there is a reality, truth, something timeless that cannot be measured, and that inquiry, that seed, is still with us.
Is it possible for that seed to grow and flower, multiply and cover the earth? That is the function, the necessity of everyone.
In this world there is such confusion, violence, corruption, every form of degeneration. If we do not find that seed and let it flower we are going to destroy ourselves.
Thinking is always in a straight line, moving forwards or backwards.
When specialisation takes place the brain becomes smaller; the other parts of the brain become rather dull.
Thought divides itself, one group of thoughts against another group.
The mind, the brain has now reached a point where it is completely confused.
The brain needs absolute security for that seed to flower.

100 • Madras 1979/80 (2/7) • Talk 2: Thought Has Put Together the Whole Structure of the ‘Me’

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings2/7: Thought Has Put Together the Whole Structure of the ‘Me’
Our minds are the result of a thousand experiences and man has been searching for an eternity.
Immortality is merely the continuity of one’s own ignorance.
We are questioning the cultivation through the centuries this idea of the self, the ‘me’ that must evolve through time, many births, or be saved by a saviour.
We must inquire into what has created the ‘me’, the self.
Reality is everything that thought has created. Nature is not created by thought.
Truth has nothing whatsoever to do with thought.
Can thought dissolve the structure which it has created as the ‘me’?
Your approach dictates the resolution of a problem. If you approach it with any motive or try to escape, the problem will always remain.
All society is based on human relationship. Because human beings are immoral, our society is immoral.
We are corrupt beyond measure so we create a society that is utterly corruptible.
Intelligence and love go together. Without love we cannot have intelligence.
