This Awakening of Intelligence app is about understanding the whole of life in the light of Krishnamurti’s teachings.
The best introduction to Krishnamurti is Krishnamurti himself—his books, video and audio recordings—and not interpreters and commentators. This app is meant for all including those unacquainted with his vision of life which, he maintained, was not his teaching but the teaching of life itself. For him, it was always the teachings and never my teachings. The teachings cover the whole of human existence. The problems of daily living that confront every human being and Krishnamurti’s original approach to them, as well as his timeless vision of the sacred come through the Q&A sessions, one-on-one meetings, dialogues, public talks, and discussions. From the early 1920s till 1986, Krishnamurti travelled round the world till the age of 91, giving talks, writings, holding discussions, or sitting silently with those men and women who sought his help and advice. His teachings were based not on book knowledge and scholarship, but on his insight into the human condition and his vision of the sacred. He did not expound any philosophy, but rather talked of the things that concern all of us in our everyday life: the problems of living in modern society with its corruption and violence, the individual’s search for security and happiness, and the need for man to free himself from his inner burdens of greed, violence, fear, and sorrow.
Understanding the operations of the mind as it is operating in the moment is the essential component of an orderly life. In Krishnamurti’s words, “Man has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.”
Understanding the inner realm or as one may call it the psychological realm and its responses in relation to outer world is important as ultimately it is the psychological structure of human mind that overtakes the outer realm.
