KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION INDIA

MARATHI-HINDI GATHERING

 

Any kind of discipline, denial, sacrifice is not going to free the mind. But the act of listening to a fact will free the mind from conflict and from the tension from that conflict, and therefore it has discovered a source of energy which is not merely thought.

J. Krishnamurti, Mumbai, 3rd Public Talk, 24th February 1961

Meditation is the very beginning of the freedom from the known. You must meditate, not because somebody says so, not because a man talks about meditation and enchants you.  You must meditate because it is the most natural thing to do.  Meditation gives you an astonishing sensitivity, a sensitivity that is very strong and yet vulnerable; though it may sound contradictory, it is not.

J. Krishnamurti, Mumbai, 7th Public Talk, 11th March 1962
