Krishnamurti: Effort To Be Intelligent Is Not Intelligent Ojai 1966, Public Meetings 7/9: Meditation Is Freeing the Mind of the Known Is it possible to end the decaying process of the brain and mind? Are we aware that there is an image, conscious or unconscious, in each of us about ourselves? When one realises the observer is the image-maker, our process of thinking changes tremendously. The emptying of the mind is meditation. There is understanding and action only when the mind is completely quiet. Emptying of the mind takes place when there is no observer as the observed. Questions from the audience followed the talk. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
