Krishnamurti: Can Thought Become Quiet? Amsterdam 1968, Students Discussions 1/4: When I Say I Must Know Myself, What Is ‘Myself’? When we say, ‘I know,’ what does that mean? What does ‘knowledge’ mean and what does ‘self’ mean? Who is the entity that is observing the conditioned state? Is the observer different from the thing observed? Is it possible for human beings to break through conditioning? It may not be important at all to know yourself. Knowing the cause of something is not going to help you to be free of it. Why has thought become so important? Can I look with such complete quietness of the mind that I am in direct relationship? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week. Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’ Established by Krishnamurti in 1968, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charity based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre and Brockwood Park School.
