A Complete Stillness - 25th August 1965. Is there a single movement that will completely transform my whole way of life? The passion is there, but the perfume doesn’t take place. What am I to do?

Love and compassion is denied totally when you seek security in neurotic concepts. Is there permanent security in relationship? Is there permanent security in relationship? The mind is sane, healthy, whole and acts totally when it realises there is nothing permanent. What is the relationship of time to thought? Does the mind need time to transform itself?

To communicate, we must know that the word is not the thing and also be in that state of mind whose quality is attention, care. That can only take place if we are serious. We are the world and the world is us. To bring about a radical transformation, which is so essential in society, there must be radical transformation in ourselves. Analysis of violence does not end violence, nor is violence ended by thinking of non-violence.

L'enseignement de Krishnamurti repose sur la conviction que les transformations de la société ne peuvent se faire qu'au terme d'une transformation des individus. Critique vis-à-vis des religions et des sectes, Krishnamurti n'aura de cesse de répéter que le bonheur passe par le refus de tout type d'autorité. C'est le sens des multiples conférences qu'il a données pendant des dizaines d'années, partout dans le monde. "Dès l'instant où vous suivez quelqu'un, vous cessez de suivre la Vérité."

Jeevan Ek Anveshan consists of 14 intensive dialogues that Jiddu Krishnamurthy held with his close associates, co-scholars and religious seekers. These dialogues are not viewpoints; neither are they questions or answers. Instead, they form a new genre of communication that have a tentative beginning, deep listening that offers deep insights without offering any quick solutions. These explorations lead to newer and deeper perceptions. This book is invaluable for those who wish to have a deeper understanding of the processes of self-knowing.

La libertad primera y última es considerado por muchos como el mejor libro de Krishnamurti. Aldous Huxley, en su esclarecedor prólogo, se pregunta: ¿qué es exactamente lo que nos propone el sabio hindú? Y la respuesta es que no se trata de un sistema de creencias, ni de un catálogo de dogmas, ni de un repertorio de ideas, ni de una clase de yoga; lo esencial es trascender los símbolos y alcanzar la libertad de cada instante. Esta libertad surge con la superación del ego, pero también de los "sistemas" de pensamiento organizado.

"A los Pies del Maestro" es un breve libro considerado una joya espiritual que presenta las enseñanzas esenciales de Jiddu Krishnamurti. Aunque se publicó en 1911, cuando Krishnamurti era solo un adolescente, el libro contiene sabiduría profunda sobre el camino espiritual. La obra presenta un diálogo entre un joven discípulo llamado Alcione y su maestro, donde se abordan temas fundamentales como la devoción, el servicio desinteresado, el amor, la sabiduría y la autorrealización.

Las enseñanzas que este libro desvelan, se centran en la necesidad de un cambio radical en relación a nuestras mentes. Como él explica, «para entender lo inmensurable, que equivale a penetrar en un mundo completamente diferente, debemos entender el mundo en el que vivimos, este mundo que hemos creado y del que somos parte: el mundo de la ambición, la codicia, la envidia, el odio, la separatividad, el miedo y el deseo. Eso significa que debemos comprendernos a nosotros mismos, tanto lo inconsciente como lo consciente. Eso no es muy difícil si fijamos la mente en ello».

What is truth and what is reality? Anything that thought thinks about or reflects upon or projects, that is reality. And that reality has nothing to do with truth. The art of seeing is to place reality where it is, and not move that in order to get truth. You can’t get truth. How am I to empty that consciousness and yet retain knowledge – otherwise I couldn’t function – and reach a state which will comprehend reality?

So memory, experience, knowledge is the background of thought. But thought which is always old can never be free, it may express itself freely but it is always old; and therefore thought can never see anything new. So when I understand that, very clearly, the mind becomes quiet.

Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another – if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but also a different quality of affection, love. What is the function of a religious mind? Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? What is the content of the unconscious?

There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization. There is no experiencer and the experience; there is only a state of experiencing. One cannot think about immortality. If one can live in the state of only experiencing then there is a state in which ideation has stopped altogether. Is it possible to have direct experience of that which is not thinkable and which cannot be put into words?

The problems of life do not demand a method, because they are so vital and alive that if we approach with a method we totally misunderstand and don’t adequately meet that problem. Where there is efficiency there is ruthlessness. The means and the end are not separate. Reality or God is something that cannot come by a technique, a means, or through a long determined practice and discipline. Aloneness implies no means. You are not alone when you have a means.
