Krishnamurti: In Complete Silence of the Mind Is Love Saanen 1968, Public Meetings 12/17: Looking at Oneself Without Words, Images or Pride

Can I look at myself in silence with a mind that is not disturbed by the past?

Pride creates conflict between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’.

Can one look at oneself without the images we have created through fear and pride, and hence look with great silence in which there is humility?

Why is one afraid to look at oneself, to see what one is?

Has fear invented pride?

One is caught in the content and prejudice of words which prevent us from looking at ourselves.

I chatter because my mind says I must be occupied all the time.

The intellectual exploration and discovery of the causes of chattering does not stop chattering.

What is the quality of the awareness that I am chattering?
