Is it possible for the brain to be free of the known? - Krishnamurti

lyrics

I see you waiting there on the other side
I want to run away and find some place to hide
And so I start building another wall of words
Sentencing the silence waiting to be heard

And do I listen, and how do I listen?
Listen for the love underneath the pain
Just below the anger
Will I bring it home again to how I listen?

You think I'm out of line
I think you've lost your mind
You say I'm not paying attention
I say you're flying blind
And there inside the story we tumble on our way
So I ask you my friend, how will this end?
And who gets to say?

(Krishnamurti)
Our brain is limited, conditioned
To vast experienced knowledge, conditioned
To discover the quality of the brain
which is not conditioned
And therefore infinite capacity
And then that conditioning is totally free
To be free of that! No attachment.

Do I listen, and how do I listen?
Listen for the love underneath the pain
Just below the anger
Will I bring it home again to how I listen?

(Krishnamurti)
Is it possible for the brain to be unconditioned?
Which means is it possible for the brain
To be free of the known?
Where the mind is infinite
