101 • Madras 1979/80 (3/7) • Talk 3: Where Is Security Found for the Brain?

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings3/7: Where Is Security Found for the Brain?
Why do human beings with their extraordinary brain and mind live in narrow grooves, with narrow activities, self-centred impulses and urges?
There is no infinite thought, there is no complete thought.
In what manner can consciousness be transformed?
Our brains are trained, subjected, submitted to established outside order or inside discipline; essentially to obey.
The brain has extraordinary incalculable energy and that energy is now being used in a very narrow, limited way.
Intelligence is not the product of thought.
When there is this intelligence there is complete and total security.
What is order?
When the mind is learning it is creating its own discipline, not of conformity but through attention.
The awakening of intelligence is the beginning of total, happy security of human beings.
Our relationship is based on memory so there is no love or happiness, nothing but disastrous division.
What will make you change?

102 • Madras 1979/80 (4/7) • Talk 4: A Mind Living in Control, Conflict and Desire Is Never Free

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings4/7: A Mind Living in Control, Conflict and Desire Is Never Free
Our minds are chattering, thought moving from one association or desire to another, a contradiction of opposing energies.
Within the mind can there ever be freedom? If not, man is everlastingly slave to the known.
Is it possible to go beyond the process of time?
The immediate is far more important than the future.
The mind has become accustomed, trained, conditioned to time, with no question of immediate action.
The immediate dissolves time.
One has to understand the nature of desire, not suppress it, control it or run away from it.
Desire comes through the movement of thought creating the image. Thought pursues that image which becomes desire.
Why does thought create the image?
Will is the exertion of energy in a particular direction and that energy is the movement of desire.
Is it possible to observe instantly and act instantly, which needs no control?

103 • Madras 1979/80 (5/7) • Discussion 1: Bringing Together All One’s Energy To Look at a Problem

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings5/7: Bringing Together All One’s Energy To Look at a Problem
Is our psychological pain as acute as toothache, or are we aware of it after it has taken place?
Do we see the absurdity, the futility of escape?
If one sees that escape does not solve the problem, what does one do with the problem?
What are the implications of analysis?
Who is it that is analysing, thinking the analyser is different from the problem?
Can I decide immediately to end a problem, not take time or move away from it?
Intelligence can only operate in the moment.
Do not allow time as a means of solution of a problem.
It is only when there is inattention that quarrels begin. When there is complete attention on both sides there is no quarrel, no division.
Time is one of the most destructive factors; time is death.

104 • Madras 1979/80 (6/7) • Talk 5: Why Does the Mind Live in Concepts?

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings6/7: Why Does the Mind Live in Concepts?
Can the human mind be free of concepts?
Is the making of concept an escape from action?
Can you listen and not make a concept but apply?
Is fear the word ‘fear’?
Integrity means saying things that you actually mean.
Time will not solve fear but will complicate the issue.
When you listen completely there is no movement of thought but merely observation.
The mind seeking pleasure is invariably attached to the action that brings pleasure.
Is there time at all psychologically?
Can the brain free itself from its tradition without time?
When there is a clear, total sensory response there is no centre from which you are observing.
Pleasure like fear is the movement of time.
If there is any form of attachment there is no love.
How will you have this flower, the great beauty of love?

105 • Madras 1979/80 (7/7) • Talk 6: Sorrow, Death and Meditation

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million YearsMadras 1979/80, Public Meetings7/7: Sorrow, Death and Meditation
How do you approach any problem, physical or psychological?
What is the relationship between sorrow and passion?
Sorrow indicates a state of mind in which there is pain, grief, tears, a sense of immense loneliness and isolation.
Without passion you can never be free or creative.
Why are we excluding death from living?
Examining your own life, what is your life?
When you realise the fact that you are the rest of mankind, what is death?
To a man whose mind is the universe of humanity there is no death. Whatever he is doing, he is ending, never carrying.
Why is it important to meditate?
There must be somewhere something that is not perishable, that is incorruptible, timeless, eternal. That seed has been sown in man from time immemorial.
Can we end psychological registering?
Meditation can never be conscious, can never be thought out, premeditated.

106 • Madras 1981/82 (1/8) • Talk 1: How Do We Psychologically Respond to the Present Condition of the World?

Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No ConflictMadras 1981/82, Public Meetings1/8: How Do We Psychologically Respond to the Present Condition of the World?
If we do not observe the world carefully, we have no criteria by which to judge when we turn inwardly.
Why have we given such extraordinary importance to thought?
Thinking is the beginning of memory; without memory there is no thinking.
We are a mass of collective remembrance of things past. We are functioning psychologically on memory as the ‘me’ and the ‘you’.
Is there knowledge about oneself? Do we know ourselves?
Are you individual?
Is it possible to be utterly free from all the content of our consciousness?
What is it that is hurt? Is it the image you have about yourself?
What is the capacity of a brain which is functioning holistically?
Is it possible to live without a single conflict?

107 • Madras 1981/82 (2/8) • Talk 2: Why Have We Become Habituated To Conflict?

Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No ConflictMadras 1981/82, Public Meetings2/8: Why Have We Become Habituated To Conflict?
Why have human beings not solved the problem of conflict with each other and in themselves?
When we do not accept what actually is but escape to an ideal, the opposite of ‘what is’, then conflict is inevitable.
Non-violence is non-fact, not a reality but a projection of thought to escape, or to accept violence and pretend that we are becoming non-violent.
Can you look at your wife or your husband without the memory of the past?
It is possible to live without conflict.
When you observe ‘what is’, there is no conflict.
Goodness means to be holistic, to be whole, not fragmented.

108 • Madras 1981/82 (3/8) • 1st Question & Answer Meeting

Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No ConflictMadras 1981/82, Public Meetings3/8: 1st Question & Answer Meeting
Q1: Without conflict or struggle in the sense of desire to improve, how can there be any progress, material or social, in the world? The desire to change supplies the motive force for work towards achievement and progress. If you accept ‘what is’ then how can there be any kind of progress?
Q2: Tell us, sir, what should be done seriously to help the country and the people of the country, for no philosophy, nor books, nor talks, can solve these problems.
Q3: What is sorrow?
Q4: What is the nature of freedom? Why does it happen?

110 • Madras 1981/82 (5/8) • Talk 3: Discovering the Causes of Disorder

Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No ConflictMadras 1981/82, Public Meetings5/8: Discovering the Causes of Disorder
Disorder exists where there is contradiction in one’s life, when life is fragmented, broken up.
Thought born of ignorance will invariably create conflict.
Freedom from fear has a quality of tremendous, vital strength.
What is time?
Greed trying to become non-greed is still greed.
The universe has no time and that is why it is ‘from everlasting to everlasting’. It has no cause, and therefore it is endless, it is infinite.
We have no space in us because everything we do has a cause.
Why have human beings been slaves to desire?
Just to remain with sensation, not to allow thought to creep in, is tremendous discipline. Discipline means to learn.
To learn about fear is the ending of fear.
