      “Intelligence is not personal, is not the outcome of argument, belief, opinion or reason. Intelligence comes into being when the brain discovers its fallibility, when it discovers what it is capable of, and what it is not. Now what is the relationship of intelligence with this new dimension? . . . The different dimension can only operate through intelligence: if there is not that intelligence it cannot operate. So in daily life it can only operate where intelligence is functioning”—Part VIII, page 412.

      “When (thought) sees that it is incapable of discovering something new, that very perception is the seed of intelligence, isn’t it? That is intelligence: ‘I cannot do’. I thought I could do a lot of things, and I can in a certain direction, but in a totally new direction I cannot do anything. The discovery of that is intelligence”—Part VIII, page 411.

      “Thought is of time, intelligence is not of time. Intelligence is immeasurable”—Part VII, page 375.

      “Intelligence comes into being when the mind, the heart and the body are really harmonious”—Part VIII, page 449.

      “Is there the awakening of that intelligence? If there is . . . then it will operate, then you don’t have to say, ‘What am I to do?’ Perhaps there have been a thousand persons here during these three weeks who have listened. If they really live that, do you know what’s going to happen? We should change the world”—Part VIII, page 450.

      “When there is that supreme energy, which is intelligence, is there death?”—Part VII, page 361.

      FOR MANY YEARS J. Krishnamurti spoke to audiences of all sorts, as well as to individuals and to smaller groups, in America, Europe and India. This book was planned to indicate the wide range of his teaching and discussions. As the Talks were always extempore, with interchange of question and answer, the reports printed here were taken from tapes, so that the exact words and phrases were accurately recorded. They have been edited sufficiently to present a readable page, with some elimination of redundancies.

      Several of the themes in these chapters are taken up in a different way in Conversations with four notable people interested in Krishnamurti’s ideas. These personal interviews are also reported from tapes recorded at the time.

      A word should be said about the Dialogues and the small group Discussion in Chapter 10. The Dialogues are not discussions in the sense of debates or arguments, but are free exchanges between people with a common aim who are intent on understanding together with Krishnamurti fundamental problems. For instance, the five Dialogues at Saanen follow a series of seven Talks and continue the themes there initiated, clarifying or probing the issues further. It was at Saanen, Switzerland, for many years, that people gathered from all over the world to share some weeks with Krishnamurti.

      The small group Discussion (Chapter 10) took place at Brockwood Park in Hampshire, England, where there is an educational centre and school for young people founded by Krishnamurti. This discussion was with people for the most part long connected with Krishnamurti in his work.

      We are indebted to a number of helpers in the recording, transcribing and editing of this book.
