161 • Rajghat 1981 (2/2) • School Discussion 2: You Become Insensitive if You Get Used To Anything

Krishnamurti: Learning and SensitivityRajghat 1981, School Discussions (Students)2/2: You Become Insensitive if You Get Used To Anything
Are you happy here at this school?
If I scold you or am rough with you or say something harsh, you get hurt.
The moment you get hurt build a wall not to get hurt more, which is the beginning of insensitivity.
If you have fear, you become insensitive.
When we take each other for granted, what does that mean?
To become sensitive, watch very carefully that you don’t fall into habit.
The deep study of mathematics is discovering order in the universe, in numbers, and also discovering if you have order in yourself.

162 • Rajghat 1981 (1/4) • Talk 1: Thought in Relationships Brings Disorder

Krishnamurti: Thought, Fear, Death and MeditationRajghat 1981, Public Meetings1/4: Thought in Relationships Brings Disorder
The word ‘religion’ means to bind oneself to something greater.
Thinking is common to all humanity.
Thought is necessary to do any skill, but psychologically is thought necessary?
What is our future if machines take over the operations thought does now?
You cannot create order when your mind is in disorder.
We live in disorder because we have reward and punishment as causes for action.
If love has a cause, it is not love.

Krishnamurti: Thought, Fear, Death and MeditationRajghat 1981, Public Meetings2/4: Perceiving the Whole Movement of Fear
How you approach a problem is more important than the problem itself.
Do you look at the tree with all your senses, or with only part of your senses?
If there is time inwardly, there is fear.
Is there a motive behind your approach to the problem of fear?
Negating fear by perceiving that the observer is the observed.
Is pleasure different from fear?
How you approach sorrow matters enormously.
Compassion has its own intelligence.

165 • Rajghat 1981 (4/4) • Talk 3: Understanding the Nature of Meditation

Krishnamurti: Thought, Fear, Death and MeditationRajghat 1981, Public Meetings4/4: Understanding the Nature of Meditation
Who is it that dies, apart from the organism?
The ‘me’ is essentially the product of experience and thought.
Is your consciousness different from another’s?
What is a mind that has understood the true nature of religion?
Only perception can keep the house in order: to see ‘what is’ and remain with it.
Meditation is to understand the movement of the known and see whether it is possible to move away from it.
Attention is far more important than concentration.
Concentration is focusing on one point; attention has no borders because it has no centre.
Is there a silence without a cause or end?

166 • Rishi Valley 1979 (1/4) • School Discussion 1: To Be Sensitive Is To Be Aware of What You Are Doing

Krishnamurti: Begin To Learn How To LearnRishi Valley 1979, School Discussions (Students)1/4: To Be Sensitive Is To Be Aware of What You Are Doing
It is very important while young to cultivate the brain’s sensitivity and the capacity to think widely.
How very important it is to cultivate all our senses. 
Learn for your own sake to be extremely attentive, to watch people, to listen to people, to see everything around you. 
Over millions of years, our brains have passed through many experiences, adversities, troubles, suffering, pleasures and agony. Your brain is not your brain, it’s the brain of human beings. 
Why do you eat meat?

167 • Rishi Valley 1979 (2/4) • School Discussion 2: Do You Lead a Life of Hypocrisy?

Krishnamurti: Begin To Learn How To LearnRishi Valley 1979, School Discussions (Students)2/4: Do You Lead a Life of Hypocrisy?
As long as you are not expressing yourself and are pretending to be something else, you are a hypocrite. 
Education is to cultivate and encourage capacity, skill, endurance, so that you are a total human being with a good mind. If you live a life which is contradictory, self-deceptive, not consequential, logical, sane, then you are not good or harmonious. 
How do you look at your thinking?
Why do so many thoughts arise?
How can you be sensitive if you eat meat?

168 • Rishi Valley 1979 (3/4) • School Discussion 3: Can You Be Free of the Image?

Krishnamurti: Begin To Learn How To LearnRishi Valley 1979, School Discussions (Students)3/4: Can You Be Free of the Image?
When the mind and the eye come together instantly you will have an extraordinary quality of attention. 
Thought is the movement of words and symbols. 
Knowledge can never be complete, so thinking is never complete. 
What happens when you do something from very limited knowledge?
What shall we do to be free of hurt?
As long as you have an image, it is going to be hurt. How can you be free of the image? 
Society, parents, grandparents, friends, condition you.
You have been educated and have lived with ideas and not with facts.

Krishnamurti: Begin To Learn How To LearnRishi Valley 1979, School Discussions (Students)4/4: Do You Have Confidence or Trust in Anybody?
Do you respect anybody? 
Teaching is the greatest and noblest profession in the world, because you are bringing about a new generation of people.
It is the function of a school to help you to be intelligent and you cannot be intelligent if you are frightened. Can the teachers and students help each other not to be frightened? 
Unless you know how to live harmoniously without conflict, you will always have fear.
There is freedom in trust.
What has happened to your mind when you trust somebody completely?
We must create in this school people whom you all can trust.

170 • Saanen 1968 (1/17) • Talk 1: What Is the Essential Issue in Life?

Krishnamurti: In Complete Silence of the Mind Is LoveSaanen 1968, Public Meetings1/17: What Is the Essential Issue in Life?
One has to be extremely alert to find out what it means to be serious.
It is the religious mind only that is a truly revolutionary mind.
Cooperation is possible only when there is no authority.
If you are not looking for another to help you discover the central issue in life, how will you find it?
When no longer thinking in terms of your conditioning you have denied the burden of yesterday.
Our crisis is not in the world but in consciousness itself.
When you don’t use thought to find out the essential issue in life, what has taken place in the mind?
Questions from the audience followed the talk.
