What is meditation?

 Book of Life

Jiddu Krishnamurti

What is meditation?

Our old brain is the conditioned

Animalistic brain

Cultivated through centuries of time-

That is everlastingly seeking its own security,

Own comfort!

It is only when that old brain is quiet-

You will see that there is a different 

Kind of movement together! -

And it is this movement that is going to 

Bring clarity! 

To understand, you must understand teh old brain-

Be aware if it , know all movements,

Its activities , its demands , its pursuits

And that is why meditation is needed; 

Through meditation, I meant to understand the 

Operations of the Old Brain

Watch it to know how it reacts

Its responses, ite tendencies

Its demands, its aggressive pursuits 

When you it

There is awareness of it

without controlling it

Without directing it

 Without saying

This good! 

This is bad! 

I will keep this!  

I won't keep that!

When you see the total movement of the mind

When you see it totally 

Then it becomes quiet!
