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:

129 • New Delhi 1962 (7/9) • Discussion 2: Dreams and Consciousness
Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 7/9: Dreams and Consciousness With what integrity and seriousness do you ask questions? Q: What is the difference between a still mind and a state of sleep without dreams? Why does one dream? The mind has to break down its insensitivity. A dull mind that is routine-bound can never be sensitive. A repetitive dream indicates a problem that has to be resolved. To pay total attention there must be freedom from the known. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 6/9: Laying the Right Foundation for Meditation The nature of mediocrity. You are put together by society and environmental influences which compel you to belong. Meditation is not seeking visions or indulging in prayer. Negative thinking is essential because it is the highest form of thinking. Meditation is not a process of disciplining the mind. A mind that makes an effort to achieve is a dead mind. To meditate you must lay the foundation immediately. You cannot practise stillness. The still mind is not seeking experience of any kind. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 5/9: A Religious Mind Has No Belief The act of denial. Your mind is shaped by the past, by centuries of culture. The religious mind does not follow anyone. If you observe your mind, you will see how cluttered and burdened it is with belief. Seeing without distortion the fact of what you are, not what you think you should be. There is a division between the thinker and the thought. Through time, through the multiplication of many tomorrows, there is no freedom. Attention is the total denial of the past.

Q: How can one concentrate on the truth when occupied with work? Q: What is the self and why does it exist? Q: Do we need masters and holy books? Q: What is the purpose of life? Q: Is all ambition bad? Q: What do you think about the constellations meeting the day after tomorrow? Q: I am astonished that you are here talking as a guru and that your books are being published.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 3/9: The Energy That Brings About a Mutation of the Mind How is a mutation of the mind to take place? Most of us want success. Through the act of listening you are learning about yourself. When there is attention, goodness flowers. Why is it that we take conflict as part of existence? To understand life you must have a very quiet mind, not a mind torn in conflict. What you are is merely the past. Understanding the problem of contradiction. Where there is ambition of any kind there is conflict and sorrow. We need tremendous energy. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 2/9: A New Mind Free From the Past and Authority Is it possible for an individual to bring about a new mind? Action can only come about when there is emotional contact with the fact. If thought is not the instrument of inquiry, how is one to understand? How is the past to be dissolved? The act of seeing. You cannot attend if you are condemning. Authority cripples all thought and brings about deterioration. When the mind gives complete attention to seeing, it has broken down the past. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Complete Revolution of the Mind New Delhi 1962, Public Meetings (No recording of Talk 4) 1/9: By Questioning Everything an Extraordinary Revolution Takes Place We are not individuals; we are the result of the collective. Religions have failed, and education has not brought peace to the world. The act of listening is the act of discovering the fact. The disease of nationalism. How is one to find a way out of this wilderness and chaos? It all depends on how you ask this question. Understanding a fact is not to have an opinion about it but to have the capacity to look.

Can the centre be still or fade away? Can consciousness empty itself of its content? Is love within the field of consciousness? If you don’t form an image now, the past images have no place. Q: Are there environments which can be conducive to liberation? The company of the good doesn’t teach me what is good and what is false or true.

Krishnamurti: The State of Not-Knowing Is Intelligence Malibu 1971, Conversations with Jacob Needleman 1/2: The Role of the Teacher Q: There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth? One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it we ask for help. If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do? Q: You speak against effort, but doesn’t the growth and well-being of all sides of man demand something like hard work of one sort or another? Why is there this cult of effort? Why have I to make effort to reach God, enlightenment or truth? Why do we divide energy at all? The observer only comes into being when wanting to change ‘what is’.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 7/7: Religion and Meditation Q: Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion? Is a religious life to lead a good life? A religious life is a life in which the self is not. We get caught in the so-called mysterious. But when the self is not, there is a greater, vaster mystery. Self-knowing is much more important than acquiring some kind of power. What place has meditation in religious life? Meditation is not control, is not a practice, is not an effort to achieve a glorious experience, or to remain in a particular state of consciousness. If the self is, the religious life is not. Can one dissolve the self? Why are certain human beings entrenched in the myth of Jesus or Krishna? Attachment destroys freedom. Where there is freedom there is joy. It is that quality of mind that has this sense of joy and freedom that perceives. Meditation means freedom and joy to observe, without any attachment, without any partial perception. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 6/7: A Mind That Is Not Empty Can Never Find Truth Q: Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching? Can thought end right through one’s consciousness? Must thought not end for something new to be observed? How does the mind look at itself? Does it look as an observer different from the observed, or without the observer and therefore there is only the observed? Can consciousness empty itself of its content? What has happened to the mind that has discarded the weight of becoming, of tradition, myth, gurus and authority? A mind that has no space can never find truth. A mind that is not empty can never find truth. Remaining with the fact of hurt. When you are nothing, you love. There is a movement in silence that has no beginning and no end, a movement that is always new. Inquiry is different from effort, from seeking, from achievement. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

The stream of vulgarity has its source in the self, ‘the me’, the ego. When there is no self, there is a responsibility for humanity. What is the relationship between this stream, the self which is perpetuating the stream, and the unknown? How is a man who is in the stream to understand instantly, without going through the evolutionary process? You step out of the stream if you deny time, in the sense of becoming, being, achieving, comparing.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 4/7: Masters and Hierarchy Q: One finds in various teachings the idea of masters, conscious entities who work for the good of mankind. Is there a reservoir of wisdom? Do such entities exist, or does man want to have myths? There is the reservoir of goodness and the reservoir of violence. Is there something which is not these two, that is beyond these two? Is your mind capable of not being held in the reservoirs of goodness or violence? When you understand these two opposites and go beyond them, meditation is not in terms of vision or action, but the state of silence which then is operating, an energy which then flows. That energy has no character. When one asks, ‘Is there a hierarchy, a master, a group of evolved entities?’ you are asking from a point of view, or from desire, from hope. What is the relationship between the current of vulgarity and that which is beyond and above the opposites? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 3/7: Is There a Permanent Ego? Is there a permanent ‘me’? Unless I am free from the vulgar, I will continue representing the whole vulgarity of man. I lead the usual life, along the small river, following that current. I am that current and ‘the me’ is bound to continue in that stream, with millions of others. I’m not different from those millions of others. When you say, ‘My brother is dead,’ and ask whether he is living, as a separate consciousness, I question whether he was ever separate from the stream. There is no permanent self. If there was a permanent self, it would be this stream. Realising that I am like the rest of the world, that there is no ‘me’ separate, I can incarnate if I step out of the stream. Change takes place away from the stream; in the stream there is no change. What happens if you step out of the stream? The stepping out is the incarnation. When the man of the stream steps out and looks, he has compassion. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 2/7: On Good and Evil Q: Do good and evil really exist or are they simply conditioned points of view? Goodness is total order, not only outwardly but inwardly especially. Is virtue the outcome of planning? You cannot will to do good. Either you are good or not good; you cannot will goodness. Will is the concentration of thought as resistance. Are poisonous snakes, sharks and the appalling, frighteningly cruel things in nature evil? The moment we assert that there is absolute evil, that very assertion is the denial of the good. Goodness implies total abnegation of the self, because ‘the me’ is always separative. Order means behaviour in freedom. Freedom means love, not pleasure. When one observes all this, one sees very clearly that there is a marvellous sense of absolute order. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

114 • Malibu 1971/72 (1/7) • Conversation with Alain Naudé 1: The Circus of Man’s Struggle
Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 1/7: The Circus of Man’s Struggle Why do we divide the world, the human being and the divine? When I realise that my consciousness is the consciousness of the world, and the consciousness of the world is me, whatever change takes place in me affects the whole of consciousness. Can human consciousness undergo a radical change? To find out if there is something beyond this consciousness I must understand the content of consciousness. The mind must go beyond itself. Do we realise that the observer, seeing the content, examining, analysing, looking at it all, is the content itself? If there is no thought, there is no thinker. If the observer is the observed, what is the nature of change in consciousness? Man has become accustomed to take it for granted that will is the only way to bring about change, but will is not the factor of change. Consciousness only exists when there is conflict between fragments. Radical revolution in consciousness and of consciousness takes place when there is no conflict at all. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

113 • Madras 1981/82 (8/8) • Talk 6: In Meditation There Is No Becoming nor Being
Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 8/8: In Meditation There Is No Becoming nor Being Is it possible to bring complete order without any compulsion, without any pressure, without reward and punishment acting? Is there an intelligence which is not born of thought? What is a religious mind? Purity is not so great as innocency. ‘Innocent’ means a mind that is not capable of being hurt. Is meditation something apart from daily living? Can we be free of all systems and practice? When I say to myself, ‘I must control my thoughts,’ who is the controller? In meditation there is no controller, which means there is no conflict. When there is order the whole brain becomes astonishingly quiet. Silence can only be when there is space. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

112 • Madras 1981/82 (7/8) • Talk 5: Can One Live a Totally Integrated Life?
Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 7/8: Can One Live a Totally Integrated Life? Integrity means innocence, a mind that has not been touched by corruption. As human beings living in this neurotic world where there is so much corruption and disorder, can we live a totally integrated life? Can this movement, the outer and the inner, ever stop? What takes place when it does stop? What is the nature of love? You cannot cultivate love. What is the ‘I’, the ‘me’, that I cling to? Is it my sorrow, my anxiety, my confusion, my talent, capacity, pain, wounds, agony? If you are ending every day, you are living with that enormous thing called death. So there is incarnation, not reincarnation. There is incarnation each day when you are ending each day. When one understands death, one is living, there is something totally new taking place each day.

111 • Madras 1981/82 (6/8) • Talk 4: Fear, Pleasure and Suffering Are One Unitary Movement
Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 6/8: Fear, Pleasure and Suffering Are One Unitary Movement Because we do not understand beauty we have no love in our heart. Where there is intelligence there is right action born out of compassion; and beauty is that compassion. Is pleasure the other side of fear? Can beauty exist where there is greed, envy, anxiety, agony? Beauty is when the other is not. When you are angry, that anger is you, not something away from you. Can I observe suffering without the word, without escape, without trying to seek comfort? It is only a mind that is free from sorrow, totally, that can know what love is. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

110 • Madras 1981/82 (5/8) • Talk 3: Discovering the Causes of Disorder
Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 5/8: Discovering the Causes of Disorder Disorder exists where there is contradiction in one’s life, when life is fragmented, broken up. Thought born of ignorance will invariably create conflict. Freedom from fear has a quality of tremendous, vital strength. What is time? Greed trying to become non-greed is still greed. The universe has no time and that is why it is ‘from everlasting to everlasting’. It has no cause, and therefore it is endless, it is infinite. We have no space in us because everything we do has a cause. Why have human beings been slaves to desire? Just to remain with sensation, not to allow thought to creep in, is tremendous discipline. Discipline means to learn. To learn about fear is the ending of fear. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
