What is the nature of thought? Why has thought divided you and me, we and they? Why has thought invented ideals?

Is time a factor of fear? The ‘me’ to which we cling is fictitious. Clinging to something non-existent may be the root cause of fear.

May 12, 2026 5535 Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 6/9: What Is the Correct Action in Life? What do we mean by action? Can there be correct action if based on an ideal? We live in the past, which meets and modifies the present. In this process, action is never complete.

Does thought bring about correct action? Is there thinking when there is no word? Can you listen without thinking? Is biological survival possible when the world is divided? Will you give up the psychological securities to which you hold? As long as you a

Sensation plus thought is desire. What is dying? Can you without choice observe the mechanical movement of the brain? Time has a stop when there is no longer any movement of the stream of fear, conflict, sorrow and confusion. When death takes place, we are afraid

35 • Ojai 1976 (9/9) • Talk 6: Meditation Implies a Life of Great Order May 12, 2026 3786 Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 9/9: Meditation Implies a Life of Great Order If religion is divorced from our daily life, it can only create further chaos, confusion and conflict. Without order in your life, without being totally moral in your daily activity, how can you think of meditating? By clearly observing the outer you discover the inner, and see it is

Listening is a great art, one we have not cultivated: to listen completely to another. To bring about a different society you as a human being who is the rest of mankind must radically change.

The book is you; you can’t tell the book what it should reveal; it will reveal everything. Learning means inquiring into the limits of knowledge and moving away from it.

In the very looking into desire you begin to have an insight into its nature. Thought creating an image is the beginning of desire. Can that image come to an end? Enjoyment is totally different from pleasure. Pleasure means the avoidance of punishment and holding on to that which is pleasurable. Our minds functio

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 throug

May 13, 2026 4866 Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 3/5: Is It Possible To Renew the Mind? When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time.

When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the mind go beyond that? What is pleasure and what is desire? How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying,

Bombay 1974, Public Meetings 4/4: Meditation, Order and Space Order is necessary for austerity. Can you observe the disorder in which you live without the eyes of the past?
