Rishi Valley 1978 - School Discussion (Students) 5 - Look at the human being, not the word

Summary:

Why do you think the mind should be kept quiet?

Can you look at the mountain without naming it?

The word is not the thing. When the word comes in between the observer and the observed, it distracts.

Identification prevents you from looking at a human being.

Can you observe your mind chattering?

If you separate yourself from anger, then you try to control, suppress or run away from it; but if you are that, the very thing that you have been calling anger changes completely.

What is a habit?

Why is the mind frightened or bored when it is not chattering?

The word is never the thing. I can paint a picture of that hill but the painting is not the hill.

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.

The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​'​

We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.

Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at [email protected]
