God, Truth, or whatever results from the total integration of our entire consciousness, is not recognizable, it must be something totally new; and the very search for that state involves a process of recognition, don’t you think? I think what I am saying is not as difficult as it seems. In fact, it is very simple. Almost all of us want to find something—let us call it, for the moment, God or Truth—whatever that means. How can we know what Truth or God is? We know it, either because we have read about it, or because we have experienced it; and when that experience presents itself, we are able to recognize it as Truth, or God. This recognition can only come from our background of previous recognition, and therefore the thing that has been recognized is not new; consequently it cannot be Truth, God. The thing is what we think it is. So I am asking myself, and I hope you are asking yourselves, what is this thing that we call 'seeking'? I have already explained what this problem of seeking implies. When we go from guru to guru, when we practice various disciplines, when we sacrifice, meditate or exercise the mind in any way, the urge behind all this effort is the urge to find something, and what is found must be recognizable, otherwise it could not be found. Under these conditions, what the mind finds can only be the product of its own background, its own conditioning; and once the mind has realized this fact, seeking may not have such a meaning, it may have an entirely different meaning. The mind may then cease seeking altogether - which does not mean that it is accepting its conditioning, its tribulations and miseries. After all, it is the mind itself that has created these miseries, and when the mind begins to understand its own process, then it is possible to realize the other state, whatever it may be, without that eternal effort to 'find'.” Jiddu Krishnamurti. “What we are trying to find out in this talk, and in the future talks that will be given here, is whether there can be direct experience, devoid of all knowledge, all instruction, so that the experience is true and not a mere reaction of our conditioning as a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Christian, or a member of any other sect. Perception cannot be true when based on any method, because, of course, the method produces its own experience. If I believe in Christianity or any other religion, and I observe a method that will lead me to the truth according to Christianity, then certainly the experience that that method produces has no validity whatsoever. It is an experience based on my own conviction, my own limitation, my conditioned mind. What one experiences is purely a product of that particular method, whereas this thing I am talking about is something entirely different.” Jiddu Krishnamurti. “Recognize the distraction and find out its reason; pursue it and analyze it thoroughly. When the distraction is completely understood, that particular wandering disappears; when another comes, pursue that too.” Jiddu Krishnamurti.
