Category: Life Story & Teachings of J Krishnamurti


Please we are looking at it together

Your own consciousness

Which is you

Fear

And with it naturally goes hatred

Where there is fear there must be violence

Aggression

The tremendous urge to succeed

Both in the physical as well as in the psychological world

Fear has many factors, which we’ll go into when we are talking about fear

And the constant pursuit of pleasure

Pleasure of possession

Pleasure of domination

Pleasure of money, which gives power

The pleasure of a philosopher with his immense knowledge

The guru with his circus

Pleasure again has innumerable forms

And there is also

Sorrow

Pain

Anxiety

The deep sense of abiding

Endless sense of loneliness

And not only the so-called personal sorrow

But also the enormous sorrow of mankind has brought about through wars

Through neglect

Through this endless sense of conquering one group of people by another

And in that consciousness there is the racial group content

And ultimately there is death

This is our consciousness

Beliefs

Certainties

And uncertainties

Great sense of anxiety

Loneliness

Sorrow

And endless misery

This is a fact

And we say this consciousness

IS MINE

Is that so?

Go to the Far East or the other east,

India, American, Europe

Anywhere you go where human beings are

They suffer

They’re anxious

Lonely

Depressed

Melancholy

Struggling conflict

Same like you

Similar like you

So is your consciousness from the other?

I know it’s very difficult

Maybe to logically accept

Which is intellectual verbally say yes

That is so

Maybe

But to feel this total human sense that there is no humanity except you

You are the rest of mankind

That requires great deal of sensitivity

It’s not a problem to be solved

It isn’t that, ‘I must accept that I’m not an individual

And how am I to feel this global human entity?’

Then you’ve made it into a problem

And the brain is ready to solve the problem

Do this

Don’t do that

Go to a guru

You know all the circus that goes on

But if you really look at it

With your mind

With your heart

With you whole being

Totally aware of this fact

Then you have broken the program

See

It is naturally broken

But if you say ‘I will break it’

You are getting back in the same

I wonder if you understand

Shall I go over ii again?

Is it necessary for the speak to repeat

But please don’t accept this because the speaker feels this

To him this is utter reality

Not something verbally accepted

Because it’s pleasant

But it is something that is actual

Then if that is so

Which is logically

Reasonably

Sanely examine and you’ll see

It is so

But the brain which has been accustomed to

This program of the individuality is going to revolt

Which you are doing now

Which is the brain is unwilling to learn

Where as the computer is willing to learn

Here we are frightening of losing something

And if you don’t understand this

We’ll go over and over again

But a serious person confronting the world situation

The world catastrophe

The terror

The atom bomb

The endless competition between nations

That is destroying human beings

It’s destroying us

Each one

And the decision comes

When you perceive the truth that you are not an individual

J. Krishnamurti talks about Love and Freedom in a public talk held in Saanen on July 23rd 1981.

Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11 May 1895 in Madanapalle, a small town in south India. He and his brother were adopted in their youth by Dr Annie Besant, then president of the Theosophical Society. Dr Besant and others proclaimed that Krishnamurti was to be a world teacher whose coming the Theosophists had predicted. To prepare the world for this coming, a world-wide organization called the Order of the Star in the East was formed and the young Krishnamurti was made its head.

In 1929, however, Krishnamurti renounced the role that he was expected to play, dissolved the Order with its huge following, and returned all the money and property that had been donated for this work.

From then, for nearly sixty years until his death on 17 February 1986, he travelled throughout the world talking to large audiences and to individuals about the need for a radical change in mankind.

Book Summary of Freedom From The Known
Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings.\n\nFreedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti’s most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book’s message.

About the Author
Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 12 May, 1895 in Madanapalle, India. In early adolescence he came to the attention of the influential theosophist C W Leadbeater, who educated him, believing him to be a future world leader. Krishnamurti later broke away from the Theosophical Society and travelled internationally as an independent speaker and writer on philosophical subjects. In later life, he addressed the United Nations on the subject of peace and awareness and was awarded the 1984 UN Peace Medal. He died in 1986 at his home in Ojai, California.

Jiddu Krishnamurti speaks with a talk show host of the 60′s about life, death, misery, conflict.

“When the Body dies, the desires, the anxieties, the tragedies, attachments and the misery go on. They go on to contributing to the vast common stream of consciousness in which mankind lives. Each of us is a representative of the whole stream … ”
