The practice of meditation can facilitate the awakening of intelligence from "summary" of The Awakening of Intelligence by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Meditation is not merely a practice to escape from the challenges and complexities of life. It is a way to understand these challenges deeply and profoundly. Through meditation, one can observe the movement of one's own thoughts, emotions, and reactions without judgment or identification. This observation allows one to see the conditioned patterns of the mind and to question the validity of these patterns. As one continues to meditate regularly, a silent and attentive mind is cultivated. This state of mind is free from the noise of desires, fears, and prejudices that usually cloud our perception. In this silence, intelligence can awaken naturally and effortlessly. This intelligence is not the result of accumulation of knowledge or information, but rather a direct perception of what is true and real. The awakening of intelligence through meditation is not a mechanical process that can be achieved through set techniques or methods. It is a subtle and nuanced journey of self-discovery and self-inquiry. This journey requires patience, honesty, and a deep sense of curiosity about one's own mind and consciousness. Through meditation, one can go beyond the limitations of thought and conditioning. One can tap into a source of intelligence that is beyond the individual self. This intelligence is not bound by time, culture, or personal history. It is universal and timeless, capable of seeing the interconnectedness of all things. In the practice of meditation, one learns to be fully present in each moment, without the burden of the past or the anxiety of the future. This presence allows one to respond to life's challenges with clarity, creativity, and compassion. In this way, meditation becomes a transformative tool for personal growth and spiritual awakening.
