Listening to Krishnamurti you are listening to the mind

Intelligence has no choice. That's why Krishnamurti goes on defining intelligence as choiceless awareness.

Listening to Krishnamurti you are listening to the mind — the purest mind. You will feel good. Listening, you will feel that you are understanding. Listening, you will feel that you are reaching somewhere. But you are learning only new words. You will learn ‘awareness’ — the word, not awareness itself. You will learn ‘choicelessness’ — the word, not choicelessness. And they will go on in the mind, and they will move in the mind, and you will become just a mind — a cerebral center. Your emotions are not touched; your body remains untouched. Only your mind is touched. That is why Krishnamurti has been a failure. He is himself enlightened but he has been a failure. His whole life he has been working with the mind and whatsoever he says is true but it is not applicable because you are not only the mind: you are much more. And that “much more” has to be transformed with the mind. You have to be transformed as a totality.
