====Meditation according to Krishnamurti====
[[J Krishnamurti]] used the word meditation to mean something entirely different from the practice of any system or method to control the mind. He said, “Man, in order to escape his conflicts, has invented many forms of meditation. These have been based on desire, will, and the urge for achievement, and imply conflict and a struggle to arrive. This conscious, deliberate striving is always within the limits of a conditioned mind, and in this there is no freedom. All effort to meditate is the denial of meditation. Meditation is the ending of thought. It is only then that there is a different dimension which is beyond time.” For Krishnamurti, meditation was choiceless awareness in the present. He said "..When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy - if you are aware of all that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation."<ref>Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. [http://www.omalpha.com/jardin/krishnamurti-en.html Meditation]. From Chapter 15 of ''Freedom from the Known,'' J. Krishnamurti (1969) Harper and Row. ISBN 0-06-064808-2.
