The Meditative Mind | J. Krishnamurti |

THE TRUE INQUIRY INTO WHAT MEDITATION MEANS.

• The Meditative Mind by J. Krishnamurti delves deep into the essence of meditation, challenging every preconceived notion and traditional practice. In his original, uncompromising voice, Krishnamurti shatters the illusions surrounding meditation, revealing its true nature.
  
  
• Krishnamurti asserts that meditation is not a system to befollowed, nor a method to be practiced for a desired outcome. Such mechanical repetition only conditions the mind further, making it impossible to achieve genuine meditative awareness.
  
  
• How can a mechanical mind which has been trained and twisted, tortured to comply to the pattern of what it calls meditation, hoping to achieve a reward at the end be free to observe, to learn? he asks. According to Krishnamurti, “Meditation is renewal, it is an intense passive awareness, the burning away of the desire to continue, to become, only when the mind ceases is there creation.”
  
  
• This invaluable collection of his talks on meditation is a profound invitation to break free from conventional practices and systems, to explore the true inquiry into what meditation means.
