― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known

“a human being living an ordinary everyday life in this brutal, violent, ruthless world – a world which is becoming more and more efficient and therefore more and more ruthless”

“You are waiting for me to describe what this silence is so that you can compare it, interpret it, carry it away and bury it. It cannot be described. What can be described is the known, and the freedom from the known can come into being only when there is a dying every day to the known, to the hurts, the flatteries, to all the images you have made, to all your experiences – dying every day so that the brain cells themselves become fresh, young, innocent.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known
