What should I do to make my mind behave rightly? | J. Krishnamurti

[@kerushun]

"Thought can never be honest". That is brilliant.

[@orangoetan2967]

So.. If I operate in thought, does that make me a liar?

[@mikewright902]

@@orangoetan2967[ that is fragmented] but to answer impart would be to start at the beginning!!! what are thoughts 😁thoughts are only memory knowledge experience which is all stored in the brain!! Memory ,knowledge, experience ,is from the past$$ can the Mind live without the past ,in the present??

[@akakonoha]

🤔 Wow!

[@tobiasdontmatter1868]

@@vhawk1951kl It means thoughts are biased. Because they are a product of conditioning. You ONLY know what your mind has accumulated. And nothing more. So it’s biased, one sided, “fragmentary” .

[@alexkhouri]

Sometimes his language can sound hard to understand. The word "fragmentary" is an example. You only see thought is fragmented, when you try to control a particular thought, making an effort, judging and trying to supress it for example. The mind only becomes whole again when it realizes that the thought of control has the same essence of the controlled thought, and therefore any tentative of control is impossible, it just enhances conflict and waste of energy in mind. The controller is the controlled, the observer is the observed. So, what should you do? Nothing. There is nothing to do. Only be what you are, don't try to change anything. In this state of being, use all your senses and attention to perceive what you are, to perceive the very beginning of your thoughts without judgement, without control, without a single word. Just be what you are. This attention do not require effort, it should come easily by the moment you realize any effort is waste. There is only effort when you try to be something you are not. So if you are struggling, you are not feeling and being but trying to act on a thought. The beauty of it is that not requiring an action, it means that this passive awareness can be present at any time of your day. But it doesnt come from your will through a system or imposition, but only when you are feeling and seeing everything inside and around you with a deep interest. Not the interest to accumulate knowledge of yourself to get to some desired state, but a interest that comes when you realize that there is nowhere to get, the only thing real and worth it to live is your life in the present moment.

thank you for writing this down

[@markbrad123]

+Alex Khouri In another discussion JK did give a method which he called 'stepping back'. Thought and emotion in many tend to tangle down a loopy rabbit hole of local observation either by letting go or suppression. Stepping back is the process of stilling the body entangle of emotion and letting thought move along to be seen as mere floating labels removed of their pretentious(lie) emotion with finite fragmented fixation. Then a free silence becomes.

[@farahfoulla]

Thank you. now, is being aware of oneself a step towards modifying a nondesired behavior. lets say I realize I am greedy. is paying attention. and being aware of it good enough to make the greed disappear? ThAnk you again.

[@corpuscallosum4677]

K's main teaching is Choiceless Awareness, no-division in our psyche. The description of 'greed" already involves a few steps : first this "I", then the measuring or comparing of being"greedy" or being"generous", and the idea of "how" to control this"greedy I". While he's saying all these are our conception; volition, our measuring. Only in total silence through choiceless awareness can we reach the pathless land. Thanks.

Que coincidência. Um dia desses vi um vídeo seu falando como é a vida como crew member em um navio pq pensei em fazer o mesmo, rs. Muito bacana seus vídeos. Um beijo!

Alex Khouri Que honra, Alex! Bacana que nos encontramos logo por aqui então. haha Um abraço!

[@scot_smith]

My initial response to this question was that it seemed very odd and not what one should be asking, as if attempting to condition the brain with just another kind of conditioning by looking for some method to impose on itself. But seeing K's response is absolutely amazing. To first point out the fragmentary nature of the brain (we are not speaking of the mind as the questioner asks because that is completely different and not fragmented and also not controllable to make behave a certain way-it is already "right"), should help see the fallacy of thought in any insight into "rightness." The compassion, single (whole) mindedness and patience of this man is incredible and inspirational. To point out that beginning with patience and honesty while showing so much of it is the epitome of truth.

Remove the "I".

[@mikeq5807]

Step 1: Know thyself. Meditate, introspect. Meditation is the bridge to wisdom. Step 2: Live in accordance with your inner wisdom, your inner guidance. This is natural and effortless. Birds of a feather do indeed flock together. You cannot have right behavior without your inner light. Right behavior is never imitated; it arises from your inner light spontaneously, naturally, effortlessly.
