Tradition and Revolution Dialogues with J. Krishnamurti

(Nora) #1

K: Intelligence has no language, but it can use language. The moment it has
language, it is back again in the field. That intelligence which has no language is
not personal; it is not mine or yours.


P: It may not be personal, but is it focalized?


K: No; it appears to focalize.


P: When it moves, does it focalize?


K: Of course, it must; but it is never in focalization.


P: It is never held?


K: It is like holding the sea in the fist—what you hold is part of the sea, but is
not the sea.
