Video Information: Acharya Prashant speaking on Jiddu Krishnamurti at the 24th Advait Learning camp, on 12th September 2016.
Excerpt:
“The mind is the product of the past, it is the result of yesterday, and can such a mind be open to the unknown?
It can only project an image, but that projection is not real; so your god is not God, it is an image of your own making, an image of your own gratification. There can be reality only when the mind understands the total process of itself and comes to an end.
When the mind is completely empty-only then is it capable of receiving the unknown. The mind is not purged until it understands the content of relationship – its relationship with property, with people until it has established the right relationship with everything. Until it understands the whole process of conflict in relationship, the mind cannot be free. Only when the mind is wholly silent, completely inactive, not projecting, when it is not seeking and is utterly still –only then that which is eternal and timeless comes into being.”
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
