Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 5/5: What Is the Magnitude of the Mind? We have not been able to fathom the enormous energy that lies in the mind. Psychologically you are the world and the world is you. When you realises this fact, you become astonishingly responsible about what you think and do, how you behave. Enlightenment is not of time, it doesn’t come through years of practice, renunciation, asceticism. Time has no place for the religious mind. Meditation comes naturally if you have put your house in order, which means there is no conflict in you, not a shadow of effort. This is an immense challenge for the human mind. We are always asking for peace of mind but there is no peace in the mind. Peace exists only when there is total absence of violence. There is violence if you are ambitious. Religion is the uncovering of that which is most holy, which has no name, which is the absolute truth, the origin of everything. Man has very rarely gone inward. There he can find an immense immeasurable universe. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
