These profound words from Krishnamurti invite us to see the undeniable relationship between the inner and outer. They remind us that change begins...
"After understanding all the waves on the surfaceâfear, authority, all the petty affairs compared to that which we are going intoâthe mind has then emptied consciousness of the whole of its content. It is empty; not through an action of will, not through desire, not through choice. Consciousness, then, is totally different; it is of a totally different dimension.
Because there is space, there is emptiness and total silenceânot induced silence, not practiced silence; these are all just movements of thought and therefore absolutely worthless. When you have gone through all thisâand there is great delight in going through all this; it is like playing a tremendous gameâthen in that total silence, there is a movement which is timeless, which is not measured by thought. Thought has no place in it whatsoever.
Then there is something totally sacred, timeless." J. Krishnamurti
Dear Friends, These profound words from Krishnamurti invite us to see the undeniable relationship between the inner and outer. They remind us that change begins in ourselves, and through this, we touch the whole of humanity. As we approach the end of the year, I invite you to reflect on the role these teachings play in your life. At the Krishnamurti Foundation of America, we are honored to be stewards of this legacy. Whether through preserving Krishnamurtiâs teachings, making them freely accessible online, providing spaces for self-inquiry at the Krishnamurti Center, or nurturing young minds at Oak Grove School, everything we do aims to serve this deeper vision. This work is only possible because of youâour community. Your support enables us to sustain these institutions and create spaces where individuals can explore timeless questions about freedom, fear, and love. Krishnamurtiâs teachings belong to the world, not to us. However, sharing them requires resources and commitment. As the year closes, we humbly ask for your help to sustain this mission. Please visit kfa.org/sustain to make a year-end contribution. Your generosity ensures that the Foundation, Center, and School remain places of transformation and inquiry for future generations. This is not just about supporting an organizationâit is about keeping alive a space for deeper understanding, for stepping beyond the noise of daily life, and for encountering truth. With gratitude and warm regards, Sincerely,
