Summary, etc. This book is the third volume in the series titled 'Selections from theDecades', and consist of twenty-three public talks that Krishnamurti gavebetween 1961 and 1968.Whereas in the 1950s, Krishnamurti dwelt largely on individual change,his focus here is on a radical mutation in human consciousness as a whole.Addressing large international audiences in different parts of the world,Krishnamurti points out that the present crisis is not just what weperceive outwardly in society; it really lies in the unconscious, deepwithin oneself. So what is required is not more knowledge or morecollective action, but a totally new mind. And that is needed, saysKrishnamurti, 'to deal not only with the everlasting but also with theimmediate problems of existence'. It is important to see the urgency ofhaving such a mind now and not wait for time to bring it about. The newmind is not merely logical or intellectual; rather, it is a mind that iscompletely free of all its old patterns and has, therefore, the quality ofstillness, love, and compassion. 'What the world needs is compassion, notschemes. And compassion is the very nature of the new mind. Because the newmind is the unknown mind, it is not to be measured by the known,' saysKrishnamurti.
