The words of a wise man must be read with wisdom, with empathy. When J. Krishnamurti says, “Become deeply aware,” read it as ‘Unbecoming Unaware.’ There is nothing called becoming aware. ‘Awareness Is.’ Over the innate awareness, there is a cloud of assumed unawareness. You just have to see that there is no fact in your assertion that there exists unawareness. So, you unbecome unaware. You cannot become aware. Awareness is not something that you can achieve or become or reach. It is.

Questioner: Acharya Ji, what does J. Krishnamurti mean when he says, “Become deeply aware.”
Acharya Prashant: It is said, become deeply aware. Now, we already live in problems and challenges. We already live in incompleteness. We already live in the quest to achieve something, become something. When it is said, become deeply aware, we add one more item to our list of problems. And that item now is?
Listener: Awareness.
Acharya Prashant: Awareness. Oh, there is so much to do and achieve and the next item is awareness. The words of a wise man must be read with wisdom, with empathy. One must be alert, whether one is able to, cross over his personal ways of interpreting. Words might mislead. There is nothing called becoming aware.
