Krishnamurti says:
Freedon is not a reaction; freedom is not choice. It is man's pretense that because he has choice he is free.
Freedom is pure observation without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man, but lies in the first step of his existence.
In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence.
Not to record flattery or insult is to have a brain that is free, not burdened by a thousand records of a thousand yesterdays.
to find out what religion is, one must doubt the accepted thing, have the vitality, the strength, to wipe it out. One must question, doubt, wipe away all the structure put together by thought.
If a human being, you, has the intention, the drive, the energy, the passion to find out if there is something sacred, holy, to do that there must be no fear, there must be no sense of anxiety, there must be complete freedom. And that is meditiation.
So the brain must be absolutely quiet, not through control, not through following some method, system, not by cultivating slience.
