(written on October 21, 1980) The core of Krishnamurti's teachings is contained in the proposition he expressed in 1929: "Truth is a country without a way." "One cannot reach it through any organization, any faith, any doctrine, priest or ritual, any philosophical knowledge or psychological skill." He needs to find it through the mirror of the relationship, by understanding the content of his own mind, by observing rather than by rational analysis or introspective anatomy. People have created various images for themselves to act as safe fences-religious, political, personal. They appear in the form of symbols, thoughts, and beliefs. The burden of these images dominates the human mind, his relationship, and his daily life. These images are the source of our problems because they separate people from people. His perception of life is left to the established concepts in his mind. the content of his consciousness is his whole existence. This content is common to all human beings. Individuality is just the name and form, and the superficial culture he obtains from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man lies not in the surface, but in the complete liberation of the content of consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he's not a person. freedom is not a reaction, freedom is not a choice. Man deceives himself to think that because he has a choice, so he is free. Freedom is pure observation, no direction, no fear of return and punishment. Freedom is no motive, freedom is not at the end of human evolution, but in the first step of his existence. In the observation you begin to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is what we find in our non-selective awareness of everyday life. thought is time. Thought arises from experience and knowledge, and experience and knowledge are inseparable from time and past. Time is the psychological enemy of mankind. Our actions are based on knowledge and thus are time-based, so people are always slaves of the past. Thought is always limited, so we live in endless conflicts and struggles. The evolution of the mind does not exist.
when one begins to perceive the movement of his mind, he sees the division between the Thinker and the mind, the Observer and the Observer, the experience and the experience. He will find that this division is an illusion. Only at this time, there is pure observation, it is not any past and time shadow of the insight. This insight beyond time brings a profound, fundamental mutation in the mind. The absolute negation is the essence of affirmation. In denying the psychological things that all those thoughts bring, only at this time can there be love, that is, compassion and wisdom. The Translator notes: Some have asked Krishnamurti to summarize the core of his teachings. He wrote the above paragraphs as a reply.
The Core of krishnamurti ' s teachings (written by him Oct)
The core of Krishnamurti ' s teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: "Truth was a pathless land. "Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents in his own mind, through O Bservation and not through intellectual an analysis or introspective dissection. Man had built in himself images as a fence of security--religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and he daily life. These images is the causes of our problems for they divide mans from man. His perception of life are shaped by the concepts already established in he mind. The content of his consciousness was his entire existence. This content was common to all humanity. The individuality is the NAME, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does isn't lie in the superficial and the complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he's isn't an individual.
Freedom is not a reaction; Freedom is not choice. It was man's pretense that because he had choice he was free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; Freedom is isn't at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.
Thought is time. Thought is born of experience and knowledge which was inseparable from time and the past. Time is the psychological enemy of man. Our action was based on knowledge and therefore time, so man was always a slave to the past. Thought is ever-limited and so we live in constant conflict and struggle. There is no psychological evolution.
When Mans becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts he would see the division between the thinker and the thought, T He observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experience. He'll discover that this division was an illusion. Then are there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings on a deep radical mutation in the mind.
Total negation is the essence of the positive. When there are negation of all those things that thought have brought about psychologically, only then are there love, which is compassion and intelligence.
