Can thought ever dissolve our problems?

Posted:

Thinking has not solved our problems. 

The clever ones, the philosophers, the scholars, the political leaders, have not really solved any of our human problems, which are the relationship between you and another, between you and myself. 

So far we have used the mind, the intellect, to help us investigate the problem and thereby are hoping to find a solution. 

• Can thought ever dissolve our problems? 

1. Is not thought, unless it is in the laboratory or on the drawing-board; always 

• self-protecting, self-perpetuating, conditioned? 
• Is not its activity self-centred? 
• And can such thought 
• ever resolve any of the problems which thought itself has created? Can the mind, which has created the problems, resolve those things that it has itself brought forth? -

Can there be thinking without memory?

Questioner: 

Can there be thinking without memory?

Krishnamurti: 

In other words, is there thought without the word? 

You know, it is very interesting, if you go into it. 

Is the speaker using thought? Thought, as the word, is necessary for communication, is it not?

The speaker has to use words, English words, to communicate with you who understand English. And the words come out of memory, obviously. 

• But what is the source, what is behind the word? 

Let me put it differently.

There is a drum; it gives out a tone. When the skin is tightly stretched at the right tension, you strike it, and it gives out the right tone, which you may recognize. 

• The drum, which is empty, in right tension, is as your own mind can be. 

When there is right attention and you ask the right question, then it gives the right answer. The answer may be in terms of the word, the recognizable, but 

• that which comes out of that emptiness is, surely, creation. 
• The thing that is created out of knowledge is mechanical, but the thing which comes out of emptiness, out of the unknown, that is the state of creation. -

LOVE:

1. TRUE LOVE IS LIKE GHOSTS, WHICH EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT AND FEW HAVE SEEN.
2. ONCE IN A WHILE, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ORDINARY LIFE, LOVE GIVES US A FAIRY TALE.
3. FAITH MAKES ALL THINGS POSSIBLE, LOVE MAKES THEM EASY.
4. OUT OF ALL YOUR LIES, (I LOVE YOU) WAS MY FAVOURITE.
5. ANYONE CAN CAPTURE YOU EYE, BUT IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO CAPTURE YOUR HEART.
6. YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE OTHER CAN LOVE YOU. LOVE NOT EGO BUT YOURSELF.

• The distance between a beggar & his desire & d distance between Alexander d Great & his desire is d same.
• every expectation is the begining of frustration.
• In fact, you will be more meaningless in a palace, bcoz while you are in a hut you can still HOPE, but the man in palace, has no hope, he feels utterly HOPELESS.
• And remember that no desire simply ends; before it ends, it gives birth to other desires. 
• Either you will be consumed by your desires or u have to consume your desires. And consuming means: WITNESS, WATCH. BE AWARE.
