“I was telling them this morning—for seventy years that super energy—no—that immense energy, immense intelligence, has been using this body. I don’t think people realise what tremendous energy and intelligence went through this body—there’s twelve-cylinder engine. And for seventy years—was a pretty long time—and now the body can’t stand any more. Nobody, unless the body has been prepared, very carefully, protected and so on—nobody can understand what went through this body. Nobody. Don’t anybody pretend. Nobody. I repeat this: nobody amongst us or the public, know what went on. I know they don’t. And now after seventy years it has come to an end. Not that that intelligence and energy—it’s somewhat here, every day, and especially at night. And after seventy years the body can’t stand it—can’t stand any more. It can’t. The Indians have a lot of damned superstitions about this—that you will and the body goes—and all that kind of nonsense. You won’t find another body like this, or that supreme intelligence operating in a body for many hundred years. You won’t see it again. When he goes, it goes. There is no consciousness left behind of that consciousness, of that state. They’ll all pretend or try to imagine they can get into touch with that. Perhaps they will somewhat if they live the teachings. But nobody has done it. Nobody. And so that’s that.”
J. Krishnamurti
With the passing away of the physical body of Krishnamurti, the supreme intelligence that functioned through it also left the body. Perhaps there will not be another example of that supreme intelligence functioning through a human body for a long time to come. Does that mean that humanity has lost that intelligence? Krishnamurti has in some way assured that if human beings live his teachings, they may still get some touch of that intelligence. So, what is Krishnamurti’s teaching? What does it mean to live it? What is the nature of that supreme intelligence? Can it be awakened in us? How does one distinguish between intellect, intelligence and wisdom? Also, what is the difference between understanding, insight and perception? All such and many more related questions will be explored in this workshop. Awakening of intelligence and living the teachings will be the main focus of study during this workshop. By participating in this workshop, the participants are expected to learn to live the teachings and act intelligently in their day-to-day life. Various selections from Krishnamurti’s works relevant to the theme of this workshop will be provided as a reading material to each participant. Also links to the relevant videos of Krishnamurti will be provided. Each participant is expected to devote these two days fully to the study in order to benefit maximum from this workshop.
