According to Krishnamurti (1998),

(...) zamanın bir sonucu değildir. Dönüşüm sessiz, sakin, pasif bir zihnin sonucudur. Zihin bir sonuca odaklandığında, artık pasif değildir. İnsan dönüşmek istedikçe, değişmek istedikçe, olanı değiştirmek istedikçe, bir sonuca odaklanacaktır, bir sonucu arayacaktır. Zihin basit bir şekilde olanı anlamağa niyet etmek zorundadır. O zaman sakinleşebilir. Bu sakinlik içinde, insan olanı anlayabilir. Dolayısıyla bir dönüşüm olabilir (s.83).

Information based on personal conversations that are realized through e-mail, telephone, face to face communication and in other ways are cited within the text but not in references section.
