Our mind chatters when we stop paying attention. When we stop observing. Being alive means you notice what's happening around you every moment. You need to notice the passing of moments. You observe with all your senses together. Don't bother converting what you observe into knowledge and storing it. Just observe. To observe and to interact without prejudices is to live. Thanks JK.

im glad i saw this vid. For a while I took "attention" too much as an auditory and/or visual focus of sorts. But its more like listening to music. The best way is to Feel the music, not just listen. To use all the senses. Makes it way easier to understand.

[@rigel436]

It is like turning on social media and scrolling. You are afraid of being empty, you want to avoid the present and convince yourself to entertain yourself. So why do we chatter in our mind or on social media or anywhere with any medium? To entertain ourselves, to block off, to cut out, to be safe, to satisfy an illusion of a reality that is not present at the moment.

Descartes said: "I think, therefore, I am." Krishnamurti says: "My mind chatters, therefore, it is. But I am not my mind."

[@KX5215]

A perfect explaination to him which interrupted btw.

[@MrTR909]

chattering is something different than thinking

[@jatinkay23]

That's a clever escape. Krishnamurti never said "I'm not my mind." He only asked if the mind is afraid of what will happen if it stops chattering?! Will I cease to exist then?!...

[@shannonkuch4942]

Descartes went through some horrible life events that made him question his entire reality. It caused great misery within his life due to the amplitude of his own cognitive dissonance. He could not find certainty in anything which drove him mad. One day he realised “I think therefore I am”, which gave him the a drop of certainty leading to the end of total cognitive dissonance. His saying “I think therefore I am” means, I am aware, therefore I exist, this is certain.

[@ananya.a04]

No culture, race, or gender has a monopoly over the Absolute Truth. Philosophies all around the world resonate with the same facts in one form or another. Some in higher forms, some in lower. But they all tumble and toil towards the same goal: freedom. Liberation from this grueling cycle of life and death.

[@soundsofnature1929]

It's so true.

[@26bboycat]

We also occupy ourselves with something in order to achieve something, this also applies to the celebrities among us. The most of them don't see that there is nothing to be achieved, but the consumer gives them position and power. If everyone had woken up, there would be no celebrities and millionaires. Because if no one saw and financed it, then there would be no reason to occupy yourself with an illusion.

[@devanshsingh4766]

You are absolutely correct.

[@Type797]

True but if enough people woke up and realised the value of the dollar is imaginary the economy would collapse, it serves a purpose for the collective level of consciousness in our current society, hundreds of years from now we'll likely create a higher order that encompasses the current system in a way that's more holistic

[@vijayjuchani2008]

Sir=) if there is nothing to achive why did you divide millionaires and celebrities and try to judge them? Isn't judegment is for achiving? You might said something right or wrong, But to be right and wrong isnt depends on achivement? If you re talking about illusion there must be a truth that truth isn't your achivement? Without achivemnt what becomes?

We all Understand logically, however we get struck with our mind in our daily life. I can feel JKs efforts in making the people understand . True once we started observing without the observer or with total attention, the real beauty of life begins.

[@rogerszeto8419]

JK is the man that reminded us we're too clever for our own good. I think it's referred to as the irreducible rascality. As many talks as he held, always telling his audience, "I am not you teacher/guru/leader, you are not my students". Society's consciousness today is more illuminated than 1950s 60s 70s because of him.

It is of my opinion that in these times when we have the choice to click and choose discourses by the master,that we are interested in, is the cause of frustration.
