Krishnamurti: Thought, Fear, Death and Meditation Rajghat 1981, Public Meetings 4/4: 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? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
