Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 8/8: In Meditation There Is No Becoming nor Being Is it possible to bring complete order without any compulsion, without any pressure, without reward and punishment acting? Is there an intelligence which is not born of thought? What is a religious mind? Purity is not so great as innocency. ‘Innocent’ means a mind that is not capable of being hurt. Is meditation something apart from daily living? Can we be free of all systems and practice? When I say to myself, ‘I must control my thoughts,’ who is the controller? In meditation there is no controller, which means there is no conflict. When there is order the whole brain becomes astonishingly quiet. Silence can only be when there is space. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
