J. Krishnamurti - Rishi Valley 1982 - Small Group Discussion - Reading the book of mankind

Summary:

As a human being, do you admit or see the truth that you are the result of the history of the world and that you hold the whole human heritage and the vast, complex book of the story of man?

What is the instrument with which I read that book?

Take any factor like sorrow. In investigating my sorrow, my loneliness, which I have been scrupulously keeping in my courtyard, my private ground, there is the discovery that it is the rest of man. All men are lonely, all people suffer.

As long as the brain is conditioned it can never understand the immensity of the nature of the mind.

Thought can never be free from its limitation because it is born out of limitation.

Is there a movement of all the senses, total senses, without the interference of thought?

When there is the heightened excellency of the senses, the senses are not aware that they are aware.

The story of mankind is an endless movement. It has no beginning and no end.

Love has no end. I may love my wife. She dies or I die, but the thing called love has no end. But I have identified myself with my wife and when she dies my love has gone -- or I love somebody else, which then becomes pleasure.

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]
