Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Students Discussions 4/4: It Is Only in Freedom That There Can Be Love

When there is a response to a challenge, is that response free, in the sense unconditioned, or are all our responses conditioned?

There is only one challenge, which we translate differently according to our conditioning. The challenge is: be free.

Is there freedom from the mechanical habits that the brain has developed?

To be free I have to ask if there can be an end to thought.

Can you look at a flower without thinking?

Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Public Meetings 5/5: The Meaning of Life

To act according to a principle, belief or ideology is the fundamental distortion of energy.

Is there action without formula?

You cannot possibly invite reality, the heavens and the beauty of the earth. All you have to do is to leave the window open and let that beauty and love come. To leave the window open you must have order and therefore deny the total disorder of this society.

Q: What is the best attitude towards hostility and brutality?

Q: If we understand listening with our whole being, does that mean that we understand everything else you say?

Q: Is it better not to do a kindness when it is done only for duty without love?

Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Students Discussions 3/4: Thought Operates in the Present Having Its Root in the Past

Why has man throughout the world given so much importance to thought?

Is there thinking without word, imagination or symbol?

Is love between two human beings the result of a thought which cultivates a certain feeling?

Is it possible for me to be free of anger and jealousy?

When the limited quality of the conditioned brain doesn’t operate there is a totally different kind of looking.

Love is something that is not contaminated or touched by thought.
