I received the last book of J. Krishnamurti

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

Just last night I received the last book of J. Krishnamurti, in which he is not speaking to anybody — he is speaking just to himself. The words are recorded but there was no audience, and perhaps in this book he comes closer to truth than in any of his other books. The audience is a limitation. This has been my experience too. If I am speaking to my own people, then there is no limitation; then I don’t feel that I have to say something, or not to say something. Then I simply speak as if I am speaking to myself. When I am speaking to people who don’t know me, who don’t understand me — moreover they misunderstand me — there is a great limitation. Then I am not at freedom to speak. Their very faces, their eyes, their gestures prevent me from saying something that may hurt them.
