The Krishnamurti Collection

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust

The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Across this wide selection of events, from public talks to in-depth conversations, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence: the nature of thought, fear and desire; the roots of conflict and conditioning; and whether the mind can be free – questions 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.’

This podcast sits alongside 'Urgency of Change: The Krishnamurti Podcast', which features carefully curated extracts on over 200 topics. The Krishnamurti Collection, by contrast, makes complete recordings available in a convenient format, preserving the unedited, natural unfolding of each talk.

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. To learn more about our activities and retreat programmes, and to donate, please visit:

Krishnamurti: Truth Is a Living Thing With No Place, Abode or Time Bangalore 1973, Public Meetings 1/3: In the State of Attention There Is No Observer Where there is division, whether religious, national, economic or social, there must be conflict. Begin not with the world but with yourself, because you are the world and the world is you. A revolution is necessary – not of the bomb or with bloodshed; that has not produced a change in the world at all. There must be a total transformation of the human mind to create a different kind of culture. Is there an action which is not based on a conclusion or on an idea? What is acquiring knowledge and what is learning? Questions from the audience followed the talk - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People 3/3: Is There Such Thing as Free Will? Is freedom partial? Why should I be bound to destiny? Born in India with the tremendous cultural traditions, why should I be caught in it? Man is more important than the frame into which he is put. Is it possible for a human being to free himself from society, psychologically? Human beings have to change, and will thought change us? Man is society, has created the society in which we live. Are you influenced to change from outside or do you change from yourself? To change according to a pattern is no change at all. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People 2/3: When One Observes a Fact Without Knowledge Then One Can Learn Why do we dream at all? Isn’t dreaming at night a waste of energy, when the brain needs to be completely at rest? When do you actually learn? When I learn through Freud about myself I am not observing myself, I am observing the image which Freud has created about me. Can you do nothing, psychologically?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People 1/3: What Does It Mean To Be Totally Free? What takes place when one falls in love? Why has sex taken on such extraordinary importance? How will you know that it is stupid to be a nationalist? You see or understand only when the mind is quiet, when you are aware without any choice. When I say, ‘I love you,’ I have blocked myself from looking at you. Is it possible to look totally impersonally and yet be completely intimate? One takes a drug and has an extraordinary experience. At the base of this is the demand for wider and deeper experiences. Why do you want experience?

45 • Amsterdam 1967 (5/5) • Talk 5: It Is Only a Very Silent Mind That Can Actually See
Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 5/5: It Is Only a Very Silent Mind That Can Actually See Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear, violence and non-violence. A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict. Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of coming upon immeasurable reality. It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, a controlled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created, and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is space and silence. Q: Could you define contemplation and meditation? Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one’s own irrational thoughts.

44 • Amsterdam 1967 (4/5) • Talk 4: Can Thought Stop?
Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 4/5: Can Thought Stop? When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the mind go beyond that? What is pleasure and what is desire? How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying, for thought not to allow itself to interfere? When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself. When you are completely attentive, you see. It is only love that sees - not thought, the mind or the intellect. One has to learn how to look, how to hear. Q: Could you distinguish between what you mean by the word ‘recognizing’ and ‘being aware’? Q: How is one to break off a concept that one has carefully built? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

43 • Amsterdam 1967 (3/5) • Talk 3: Is It Possible To Renew the Mind?
Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 3/5: Is It Possible To Renew the Mind? When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly enter. That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time comes to an end there is something new taking place. To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were talking about? Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

42 • Amsterdam 1967 (2/5) • Talk 2: Where There Is Pleasure There Is the Shadow of Pain
Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 2/5: Where There Is Pleasure There Is the Shadow of Pain The whole movement of living, which is relationship, is a movement in action. What is consciousness? When do you say, ‘I am conscious, I am aware, I am attentive’? Is there actually a division between the conscious and the unconscious, or it is a total movement, operating all the time? The mind that pursues pleasure must inevitably invite its opposite, which is pain. The two go together; they are not separate. You cannot see totally when you are making effort. Q: If you love your own child, your attention to your child is fairly complete, but if you are a teacher you cannot give attention to all the students. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is Quiet Amsterdam 1967, Public Meetings 1/5: To Look Without a Concept Is To Be Aware of the Observer and the Thing Observed Violence and sorrow are not limited to the West or the East; it is part of the human structure, psychologically. Is it possible to bring about a change radically, a total revolution in the psyche itself, not through time? The first and last freedom is when the mind is totally free from concepts and the mechanical process of building a formula. It is an art to look, which is much more important than any art in the world, any painting, music or book; because when we can look so totally and completely, being directly in contact, there is an ending.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 5/5: What Is the Magnitude of the Mind? We have not been able to fathom the enormous energy that lies in the mind. Psychologically you are the world and the world is you. When you realises this fact, you become astonishingly responsible about what you think and do, how you behave. Enlightenment is not of time, it doesn’t come through years of practice, renunciation, asceticism. Time has no place for the religious mind. Meditation comes naturally if you have put your house in order, which means there is no conflict in you, not a shadow of effort. This is an immense challenge for the human mind. We are always asking for peace of mind but there is no peace in the mind. Peace exists only when there is total absence of violence. There is violence if you are ambitious. Religion is the uncovering of that which is most holy, which has no name, which is the absolute truth, the origin of everything. Man has very rarely gone inward. There he can find an immense immeasurable universe. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

39 • Colombo 1980 (4/5) • Talk 3: What Is Death?
Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 4/5: What Is Death? In the very looking into desire you begin to have an insight into its nature. Thought creating an image is the beginning of desire. Can that image come to an end? Enjoyment is totally different from pleasure. Pleasure means the avoidance of punishment and holding on to that which is pleasurable. Our minds function within this punishment and reward. We live with suffering and have accepted it. Can suffering end? What is sorrow? If you remain completely immovably with suffering, it completely ends and there is a totally different beginning. Why has the mind separated death and living? While living can you end attachment? Find out for yourself if there is anything permanent in your life. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 3/5: The Root of All Fear When we talk about world government, world organisation, world religion, world economy, where would we begin? Is your mind capable of comprehending the global issue? As human beings are violent and ambitious, seeking power and position, we create the society in which we live. Is religion a series of rituals? Is religion to be translated by priests? What shall we do together to bring about a different kind of education in the world? We are investigating what fear is. In the very investigation, fear ends. What is the root of fear? Not your particular fear. Fear is like a tree with many branches, with all kinds of flowers and fruits. Can time as thought come to an end, which then does not create fear?

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 2/5: The Book of Life The art of listening to what the book of life is saying. The book is you; you can’t tell the book what it should reveal; it will reveal everything. Learning means inquiring into the limits of knowledge and moving away from it. Disorder exists as long as there is contradiction. As long as you are acting self-centredly, selfishly, egotistically, personally, narrowing the whole of this vast life into the little ‘me’, you will inevitably create disorder. The book asks you: is it possible to be completely free of fear? What is the relationship between time and thought? Time destroys understanding because understanding is immediate; it is not ‘I will learn to understand’. Real meditation is to inquire whether time can ever stop. To inquire into the nature of the ending of time requires a silent mind, a mind that is free to observe, that is not frightened. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: Magnitude of the Mind Colombo 1980, Public Meetings 1/5: Life Is Relationship and Action What is the condition of man? Listening is a great art, one we have not cultivated: to listen completely to another. To bring about a different society you as a human being who is the rest of mankind must radically change. Doubt is of great importance, it gives you tremendous energy. Life is a movement in relationship; you cannot exist without relationship. What is our present relationship with each other? To understand image-making common to mankind, one has to go into the question of what is thought, thinking and the nature of thought. Is it possible to live a daily life without a single image? The mirror in which you can study yourself is the mirror of relationship. In watching, listening to yourself carefully without any direction or motive, you begin to read the story of mankind, which is yourself. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Without order in your life, without being totally moral in your daily activity, how can you think of meditating? By clearly observing the outer you discover the inner, and see it is one movement.

34 • Ojai 1976 (8/9) • Talk 5: Desire, Love and Death
Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 8/9: Desire, Love and Death Is love desire, pleasure, attachment? Sensation plus thought is desire. What is dying? Can you without choice observe the mechanical movement of the brain? Time has a stop when there is no longer any movement of the stream of fear, conflict, sorrow and confusion. When death takes place, we are afraid of losing the structure which thought has built as ‘me’. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

33 • Ojai 1976 (7/9) • Discussion 3: Correct Action in a Disintegrating Society
Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 7/9: Correct Action in a Disintegrating Society What do we mean by action? Does thought bring about correct action? Is there thinking when there is no word? Can you listen without thinking? Is biological survival possible when the world is divided? Will you give up the psychological securities to which you hold? As long as you are seeking security in illusion or attachment, physical security becomes impossible. Is there freedom which is not a reaction? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

32 • Ojai 1976 (6/9) • Discussion 2: What Is the Correct Action in Life?
Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 6/9: What Is the Correct Action in Life? What do we mean by action? Can there be correct action if based on an ideal? We live in the past, which meets and modifies the present. In this process, action is never complete. To find correct, accurate, right action, needs care. Can you look at fragmentation without judgement? Thought is a fragment and creates fragmentary activity. Why do human beings behave as they do? Thought leads to sorrow. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

31 • Ojai 1976 (5/9) • Talk 4: Reality, Pleasure and Sorrow
Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 5/9: Reality, Pleasure and Sorrow Is there a way of living, a non-mechanistic action not based on the movement of thought as time? The psychological reality in which we live is mechanistic. Is there is an action that in itself is the flowering of order, free of regret and corruption, that doesn’t leave a residue or create contradiction? Why does the human mind pursue pleasure? Action through insight is not mechanistic. What takes place when you suffer? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

30 • Ojai 1976 (4/9) • Talk 3: Fear and the Structure of the ‘Me’
Krishnamurti: Thought Can Never Change Man Ojai 1976, Public Meetings 4/9: Fear and the Structure of the ‘Me’ What is the root cause of fear? Is time a factor of fear? The ‘me’ to which we cling is fictitious. Clinging to something non-existent may be the root cause of fear. Deep-rooted fear is the movement of thought in time, a material process. Thought has created an artificial structure called the ‘me’ and clings to that fragment. Thought is itself a fragment. If you don’t waste energy, and that is only when the observer is the observed, you have immense energy to transform ‘what is’. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
