Disc 4: The beginning of meditation
Action based on a past conclusion, however right, however worthy, is still from the past and therefore still limited in terms of time.
Is there an action totally devoid of time?
One must be free of knowledge to have immediate perception.
Why do human beings live constantly in a state of fear?
Thought is a movement based on past memories, past experiences, past knowledge.
Can you look at fear, the actual sensation, without the word?
Is freedom the opposite of prison, of bondage, of repression? Is freedom to do what you like?
As long as we live in opposites, jealousy and non-jealousy, the good and the bad, the ignorant and the enlightened, there must be this constant conflict in duality.
Is love being attached to a person, to a country, to an idea?
Can you put aside attachment, dependence, and not become cynical, bitter, or withdraw and resist?
Why do we suffer psychologically? Is it possible to put physical pain in its right place and not let it interfere with the psychological state of the mind?
Why we are all so frightened of death?
Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
