Krishnamurti viewed meditation as not something intended to reach higher states of consciousness. He saw meditation as rather a form of pure awareness, in which one refrains from all techniques and efforts to obtain a desired outcome. This awareness is a state of mind in which all phenomena are dealt with in an inquiry without bias, non-judgmentally. It is not where definitive answers to definitive questions are sought. Instead, it is a form of presence, in which all questions eventually disappear and leave the mind in a state of receptive emptiness. This compilation of verbatim talks spans four decades and reveals the depth of Krishnamurti's vision.
