Tradition and Revolution Dialogues with J. Krishnamurti

(Nora) #1

K: Order is safety; order is harmony. But the very search for order ends in
disorder. Seeing this, I drop all formulas: I am no longer a Hindu, a Buddhist, a
Muslim. Drop all this. The dropping is intelligence; in the very act of dropping,
the mind has become intelligent. Intelligence is order. I do not know if you see
this.
In enlightenment there is order. The brain functions in a perfect condition,
and relationship has a different meaning.
The brain is seeking order in disorder. It does not see the nature of disorder.
When the brain rejects formulas, when it rejects tribalism, in that very rejection
there is intelligence. And intelligence is order.
