The mind must be free from conditioning to awaken intelligence from "summary" of The Awakening of Intelligence by J. KRISHNAMURTI
To understand the awakening of intelligence, one must first consider the state of the mind. The mind, as we know it, is often conditioned by various factors such as culture, society, education, and personal experiences. These conditionings create a framework through which we perceive the world, shaping our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. However, this conditioning limits the mind's capacity to truly comprehend the nature of reality. To awaken intelligence, one must break free from these conditionings that constrict our minds. To be free from conditioning means to observe without judgment, to be aware of our thoughts and emotions without being swayed by them. It requires a sense of detachment, a willingness to question our assumptions and beliefs, and to be open to new possibilities. When the mind is free from conditioning, it is able to see things as they are, without distortion. This clarity of perception allows intelligence to operate at its fullest capacity, unimpeded by preconceived notions or prejudices. It enables us to approach problems with creativity and insight, to see connections and patterns that may have been obscured by our conditioning. Awakening intelligence is not about acquiring more knowledge or information, but rather about developing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around us. It is about cultivating a sense of inner freedom that allows us to respond to life's challenges with wisdom and compassion. Only when the mind is free from conditioning can true intelligence emerge, guiding us towards a more fulfilling and meaningful existence.
