J. Krishnamurti Online

A problem during the day is solved the next day or a week later. How does that happen? The brain has said, ‘I give up,’ the mind that has been working, working, working, says, ‘That’s enough, I can’t do any more,’ and the superficial, surface brain becomes quiet, and the problem is solved. That is fairly simple. What I am trying to get at is this: the whole content of consciousness is disturbance, disorder, conflict and all the rest of it. The brain says, ‘I must have order.’ Can the conscious mind produce it? If it can’t, when one is asleep the brain is at it, either indicating through dreams, or without dreams it tries to bring order.

From a Small Group Discussion, Rishi Valley, 30 December 1972
