Krishnamurti Study Session
Saturday, May 5, 2018
Three people gathered to study the book The First and Last Freedom by J. Krishnamurti. The chapter for study this week was Q & A #28 “On the Known and the Unknown”. The question asked of K is as follows: “Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the unknown, reality, God?” K begins by asking if it is actually true that the mind has an urge for reality or the unknown. The mind with all its projections is actually always moving in the known and the problem is for that movement to be understood, which is arduous and requires right intention. When, through understanding, the mind becomes quiet, peaceful, then the unknown comes into being and there is joy.
The group inquired with Krishnamurti as he explores the issues in the text, entering into some interesting discussion together. The meeting was felt to be significant and enjoyable.
