On the surface, Krishnamurti states that meditation isn't a tool to acquire some future state or spiritual attainment. It's not about reaching enlightenment, peace, or any other desired outcome. Instead, he proposes that meditation is the manner in which you inhabit your life, moment by moment.

From a modern non-dual perspective, this points to the dissolution of the observer-observed duality. The very act of trying to 'achieve' something through meditation creates a separation: the meditator and the goal. Krishnamurti, echoing insights found in traditions like Advaita Vedanta, suggests that awareness itself, when unconditioned by desire or seeking, *is* the state we often chase. This isn't about emptying the mind, but about observing the mind's content without judgment or identification. It's recognizing that the 'doing' of meditation, when free of the 'doer,' is indistinguishable from the 'being' of life. The ordinary, the mundane, the chaotic – all become the field of this non-seeking awareness.

In your life: Observe your daily activities, even the mundane ones, with a quality of present, non-judgmental attention, recognizing that this awareness is not separate from the activity itself.
