What happens to the brain when there is no desire? / Art thinker / Jiddu Krishnamurti

[@brahmanatman8576]

What happens to the brain without desire? Enlightenment, that's what happens. The mind becomes free, liberated from the source of mental suffering, because the source of suffering is desire. Now the mind can perceive things as they are, without filter. An intense awakening occurs.

[@Mystic_hermit]

The source of suffering is craving not desire.Desire in itself isn't a problem..one needs to desire enlightenment to head there. Without desire, one would never work on their defilements.

Person without hunger and person without desire can't exist. Breathing is the first desire.

[@jotilochun80]

Maybe everything we need is automatic. We don’t breathe really. Something is breathing us. Something is beating our hearts and pumping blood around our bodies. Maybe it’s worth exploring? I don’t know

[@jotilochun80]

Maybe life would be simpler without desire. Maybe desire is rooted in ego?

[@JackRousse1149]

No maybe, your understanding is correct. Keep diving deep within and do not get distracted by any comments.

[@jotilochun80]

@@JackRousse1149 I love comments. I guess one of my big life themes right now is learning discernment. Knowing which comments are helping me grow and which are just pulling me back is one. This comment helped me solidify something in my own head that I probably hadn’t given too much thought to. I love it

[@GodSpeed-eo9pc]

Breathing is a need and also automatic. One doesn’t generally desire to breathe and if one does it’s an automatic survival response.

[@axutgautam1187]

I still reflect this moment, was the series about to end, and he ended it with desirelessness. I can realize the fact that in desirelessness there are no what should be and should not be. And wanting desirelessness is a desire . There is eshtablishment of another "what should be" which is "desirelessness" . There is that stop then which reflects when the movement of thought realizes that it cannot do a thing.

[@user-vu5oc2eh4d]

I think it is important to distinguish between natural, positive, meaningful, and ethical desires that are essential for living a genuine and fulfilling life. However, desires imposed on us by capitalist society are meaningless and cannot be achieved. In a capitalist system, the accumulation of more material stuff is considered better, and constant optimization is desirable for maximizing profits."

[@sokoli3253]

Yes indeed but the work of a anthropologist like Rene Girard explains that desire is mimetic and so actually, desires are most of the time not ours. Our sociétés will be totally différents if we were juste aware of the fact that desire is mimetic. Needs are another thing.

[@bhaskarayyala12]

Pls realize that Desire is different from Need. Having a need is part of the Function and to differentiate a Need from Desire requires Intelligence. This could be relative and depends on one's situation being different from Others.

[@OkyeameKwameBRA]

This is the only Jiddu that I have not been able to comprehend. I know desire itself is the true and dominant nature of life . I desire to live a healthy and long life so I eat well and exercise regularly. Desiring not to have a desire is also desire . It is rather a life without desire that leads to presence . Unless the desire of pleasure or ambition .

[@GodSpeed-eo9pc]

You don’t desire not to have desire, one simply stops desiring. It’s partly choice but mostly INTELLIGENCE!

[@avalanche9026]

Agree to many things jk sayng. No doubt. But there is a fine line .. meaning of life. Must stop. Example. Nice past memories ? Keeps you ticking ? It’s a positive energy. That gives you an ambition plan for tmrw …a great repetition ship. Whife ? Etc. Good kids ??

It gets depressed. I‘m not quite sure why we shouldn‘t have desires. Isn‘t it a reason at least to change your situation. Even if you become an artist then. Desire is the beginning of a changing world

[@swapnilkushwaha5772]

You'll never until you experience it... it's being like totally free from any burden you live fully as it is..i will recommend you to experience its once in lifetimes

[@GodSpeed-eo9pc]

Nobody is forcing you to not have desires but it doesn’t change the reality of what desires to to your brain, mind and spirit if you choose or feel the need to do so.

[@GodSpeed-eo9pc]

You need to ask yourself this question. What causes your depression? Perhaps desiring things you don’t have are causing your depression for example???

[@GodSpeed-eo9pc]

Human desires destroy everything good and natural. It’s essentially the root of all “evil” just like money.

[@hubbabubbablubba]

@@GodSpeed-eo9pc ok, I get your point. But, looking at it from a perspective of change, I mean looking back first, seeing that desire made the earth become what it is now, you need new "desires" to build up a world that isn't destroyed..

[@arvindchahal7009]

Is love, relationships a need or a desire? Food is a need, but is asking for good food a desire? House is a need but asking for a good house is a desire? Love is a need but asking a specific lover is desire? Plz clearly mention the difference bw desire and needs. Sometimes it looks that all needs are desires too and all intense desires become needs. Its hard to classify desires and needs. I think a desire is minds "need". And a need is a "desire"of the body. I think a mental drive or urge is called a desire and a physical drive is called a need.

[@jotilochun80]

I think this is what he is asking us to contemplate. The line between desire and need is what distinguishes a person as intelligent. This is what he is saying. It’s definitely worth thinking about it. It makes you think about the root of your desires and maybe choose differently. That’s all it’s a mental exercise. I’m not sure that I couldn’t justify everything as a need but I guess that’s where I’m at
