“The word 'innocence' means 'incapable of being hurt'. To have a mind that is not capable of being hurt, does not mean that it has built up a lot of resistance - on the contrary, such a mind is dying to everything that it has known in which there has been conflict, pleasure and pain. Only then is the mind innocent; that means it can love. You cannot love with memory, love is not a matter of remembrance, of time.” MindMeanDoeHas BeensMatterPainHurtMemoriesLove IsPleasureKnownDyingLove YouConflictCapableBuiltContraryResistanceInnocentInnocenceIncapableRemembrancePain And PleasureBeing Hurt Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti

“How very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. Considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on... man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and has built a society along these lines.” MenWorldMindHumansStillsImportantCommunityLinesConsciousnessAcceptingSocietyRevolutionConflictBuiltTraditionCrisisMiseryAncientPatternsViolentRadicalDestructiveHuman MindAggressiveAggressionBrutalConsideringNormBrutalityZeitgeist Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
