121 • Malibu 1971 (1/2) • Conversation with Jacob Needleman 1: The Role of the Teacher

Krishnamurti: The State of Not-Knowing Is IntelligenceMalibu 1971, Conversations with Jacob Needleman1/2: The Role of the Teacher
Q: There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth?
One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it we ask for help.
If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?
Q: You speak against effort, but doesn’t the growth and well-being of all sides of man demand something like hard work of one sort or another?
Why is there this cult of effort? Why have I to make effort to reach God, enlightenment or truth?
Why do we divide energy at all?
The observer only comes into being when wanting to change ‘what is’. 
The state of not-knowing is intelligence.

122 • Malibu 1971 (2/2) • Conversation with Jacob Needleman 2: Inner Space

Krishnamurti: The State of Not-Knowing Is IntelligenceMalibu 1971, Conversations with Jacob Needleman2/2: Inner Space
Is it possible to be free of the centre, so that the centre doesn’t create space around itself and build a wall?
Can the centre be still or fade away? 
Can consciousness empty itself of its content?
Is love within the field of consciousness?
If you don’t form an image now, the past images have no place.
Q: Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation?
The company of the good doesn’t teach me what is good and what is false or true. I have to see it.

123 • New Delhi 1962 (1/9) • Talk 1: By Questioning Everything an Extraordinary Revolution Takes Place

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)1/9: By Questioning Everything an Extraordinary Revolution Takes Place
We are not individuals; we are the result of the collective.
Religions have failed, and education has not brought peace to the world.
The act of listening is the act of discovering the fact.
The disease of nationalism.
How is one to find a way out of this wilderness and chaos? It all depends on how you ask this question.
Understanding a fact is not to have an opinion about it but to have the capacity to look.
(Note that the original recording was paused twice for technical reasons.)

124 • New Delhi 1962 (2/9) • Talk 2: A New Mind Free From the Past and Authority

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)2/9: A New Mind Free From the Past and Authority
Is it possible for an individual to bring about a new mind?
Action can only come about when there is emotional contact with the fact.
If thought is not the instrument of inquiry, how is one to understand?
How is the past to be dissolved? 
The act of seeing.
You cannot attend if you are condemning.
Authority cripples all thought and brings about deterioration.
When the mind gives complete attention to seeing, it has broken down the past.

125 • New Delhi 1962 (3/9) • Talk 3: The Energy That Brings About a Mutation of the Mind

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)3/9: The Energy That Brings About a Mutation of the Mind
How is a mutation of the mind to take place?
Most of us want success.
Through the act of listening you are learning about yourself.
When there is attention, goodness flowers.
Why is it that we take conflict as part of existence?
To understand life you must have a very quiet mind, not a mind torn in conflict.
What you are is merely the past.
Understanding the problem of contradiction.
Where there is ambition of any kind there is conflict and sorrow.
We need tremendous energy.

127 • New Delhi 1962 (5/9) • Talk 5: A Religious Mind Has No Belief

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)5/9: A Religious Mind Has No Belief
The act of denial.
Your mind is shaped by the past, by centuries of culture.
The religious mind does not follow anyone.
If you observe your mind, you will see how cluttered and burdened it is with belief.
Seeing without distortion the fact of what you are, not what you think you should be.
There is a division between the thinker and the thought.
Through time, through the multiplication of many tomorrows, there is no freedom.
Attention is the total denial of the past.
(Note that the original recording was paused once for technical reasons.)

128 • New Delhi 1962 (6/9) • Talk 6: Laying the Right Foundation for Meditation

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)6/9: Laying the Right Foundation for Meditation
The nature of mediocrity.
You are put together by society and environmental influences which compel you to belong.
Meditation is not seeking visions or indulging in prayer.
Negative thinking is essential because it is the highest form of thinking.
Meditation is not a process of disciplining the mind.
A mind that makes an effort to achieve is a dead mind.
To meditate you must lay the foundation immediately.
You cannot practise stillness.
The still mind is not seeking experience of any kind.

129 • New Delhi 1962 (7/9) • Discussion 2: Dreams and Consciousness

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)7/9: Dreams and Consciousness
With what integrity and seriousness do you ask questions?
Q: What is the difference between a still mind and a state of sleep without dreams?
Why does one dream?
The mind has to break down its insensitivity.
A dull mind that is routine-bound can never be sensitive.
A repetitive dream indicates a problem that has to be resolved.
To pay total attention there must be freedom from the known.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the MindNew Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4)8/9: Investigating Fear and Death
Investigation is impeded or denied when there is a motive.
How does fear arise?
Understanding doesn’t come about through time or comparison.
We have to understand the process of thinking in order to understand fear.
To understand fear you must understand time.
Loneliness.
The word ‘fear’ is not fear.
Is it possible to die to everything you have known?
