Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective; goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiFreedom lies outside the pattern of society; but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiBegin where you are. Read every word, every phrase, every paragraph of the mind, as it operates through thought.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiMeditation is the emptying of the mind of all the things that the mind has put together. If you do that -perhaps you won't, but it doesn't matter, just listen to this- you will find that there is an extraordinary space in the mind, and that space is freedom. So you must demand freedom at the very beginning, and not just wait, hoping to have it at the end. You must seek out the significance of freedom in your work, in your relationships, in everything that you do. Then you will find that meditation is creation.
