Jiddu Krishnamurti - Freedom




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 are inseparable
from time and the past…
Time is the psychological enemy of man.
Our action is based on knowledge and therefore time,
so man is 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 man becomes aware of the movement
of his own thoughts he will see the division
between the thinker and thought,
the observer and the observed,
the experiencer and the experience…
He will discover that this division is an illusion.
Then only is there pure observation
which is insight without any shadow
of the past or of time…
This timeless insight brings about
a deep radical mutation in the mind…

Total negation is the essence of the positive.
When there is negation of all those things
that thought has brought about psychologically,
only then is there love, which is compassion
and intelligence…
