Krishnamurti: A Revolution in the Mind Saanen 1961, Public Meetings 2/9: To See Something Totally, the Brain Must Be Quiet

The demand for order is merely the demand for security.

There is no security either outwardly or inwardly.

To find out what peace is, one must be totally free of violence.

What is it to see something totally?

The brain, with its mechanical habits, its animal instincts, its urge to remain in safety, can never see anything totally.

The seeing totally of something can only take place when the brain is highly sensitive and recognizes its own limitations.

Right order can only come when there is destruction of the mind that demands order.

Various questions were asked by the audience at the end of the talk.
