Finding silence If you have followed this inquiry int what is meditation, and have understood the whole process of thinking, you will have find that the mind is completely still. In that total stillness of the mind, there is no watcher, no observer, and therefore no experience at all; there is no entity who is gathering experience, which is the activity of a self-centred mind. Don’t say - “That is samadhi” - which is the activity of a nonsense because you have only read of it in some book and have not discovered it for yourself. There is a vast difference between the word and the thing. The word is not the thing; the word ‘door’ is not the door. So, to meditate is to purge the mind of its self-centred activity. And if you have come this far in meditation, you will find there is silence, a total emptiness. The mind is uncontaminated by desire; it is no longer subject to any influence, to the pressure of any desire. It is completely alone, and being alone, untouched, it is innocent. Therefore there is a possibility for that which is timeless, eternal to come into being. This while process is meditation. This article has been written by by Jiddu Krishnamurti.
