Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Knowledge diverts the mind " You have only one instrument, which is the mind; and the mind is the brain also. Therefore, to find out the truth of this matter, you must understand the ways of the mind, must you not? If the mind is crooked you will never see straight; if the mind is very limited you cannot perceive the illimitable. The mind is the instrument of perception and, to perceive truly, the mind must be made straight, it must be cleansed of all conditioning, of all fear. The mind must also be free of knowledge, because knowledge diverts the mind and makes things twisted. The enormous capacity of the mind to invent, to imagine, to speculate, to think - must not this capacity be put aside so that the mind is very clear and very simple? Because it is only the innocent mind, the mind that has experienced vastly and yet is free of knowledge and experience; it is only such a mind that can discover that which is more than brain and mind. Otherwise what you discover will be colored by what you have already experienced, and your experience is the result of your conditioning. " - J. Krishnamurti / The Book of Life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Reminds me of a comment by Richard Feynman about how his approach to any problem was that he didn't know anything.
