The Awakening of Intelligence is a wide-ranging collection of Krishnamurti's teachings, including discussions with Jacob Needleman, Alain Naudé, Swami Venkatesananda, and David Bohm. It explores awareness, self-knowledge, intelligence, and the possibility of psychological change.

With Jacob Needleman, Krishnamurti examines the role of the teacher, tradition, direct perception, and awareness of a “cosmic dimension.” His discussions with Alain Naudé address good and evil and the fragmentation of consciousness. With Swami Venkatesananda, he considers traditional Vedanta methods, the four Yogas, and statements from the Upanishads.

From the book:

Krishnamurti: Felicity and so on. Now what is good? I feel goodness is total order. Not only outwardly, but especially inwardly. I think that order can be absolute, as in mathematics I believe there is complete order. And it is disorder that leads to chaos, to destruction, to anarchy, to the so-called evil.

Naude: Yes.

Krishnamurti: Whereas total order in one's being, order in the mind, order in one's heart, order in one's physical activities - the harmony between the three is goodness.

Naude: The Greeks used to say that perfected man had attuned in total harmony his mind, his heart and his body.

Krishnamurti: Quite. So we shall say for the moment that goodness is absolute order. And as most human beings live in disorder they contribute to every form of mischief, which ultimately leads to destruction, to brutality, to violence, to various injuries, both psychic and physical. For all that one word may be used: "evil". But I don't like that word "evil" because it is loaded with Christian meaning, with condemnation and prejudice.
