On the Stillness of the Mind — by J. Krishnamurti

“The mind is quiet when it sees the truth that understanding comes only when it is quiet…When I see the truth of that, then the mind is quiet – and then there is no question of how to make the mind quiet. Only the truth can liberate the mind from its own ideation; to see the truth, the mind must realise the fact that so long as it is agitated it can have no understanding. Quietness of mind, tranquillity of mind, is not a thing to be produced by willpower, by any action of desire.”–From Krishnamurti’s Book THE FIRST AND LAST FREEDOM
