J. Krishnamurti - Saanen 1978 - Public Talk 7 - If you are not occupied, are you nothing?
Published 2017-06-18
Summary:
You cannot possibly look objectively, without any direction and motive if you are consumed with your own importance, ambitions and problems.
We have divided sleeping and waking, which may be entirely wrong. We have never inquired into the state of the mind that is not sleeping.
Why is the mind occupied so endlessly?
Can you be nothing, that which you actually are?
Humility comes into being when you understand the nature of power.
The movement of meditation is to live in daily life without measurement. The movement of thought is measure.
What is awareness and what is attention?
When you put everything in order there is no effort.

They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.'
We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.

1:21:47 "That attention may last 2 mins or 5 seconds...but don't go back & say 'I must be attentive.' Attention came because you knew what it means. From a deep understanding, not intellectual, of what attention is. It came naturally. But if you say 'I must have constant attention throughout the day', then you're being terribly greedy. Then it's no longer attention. It's a desire to have something which you call 'attention'."

life is a river or a tree so beautiful when you have no desire to anderstand it because that desire to understand is spoiling the moment.

"Direct perception and action, NOT perception, then later on action, which only creates a problem. The insight into any problem... It's only from moment to moment. When it happens, there's an insight into it, there's action in it and -- resolve." 35:07 "There is tremendous energy in nothingness." 56:30

When looking at things as a problem. You begin to problame yourself subconsciously. Instead view it as a prosolve and a solution will present itself.
