Calcutta (Kolkata) 1982 - Public Talk 4 - Time, death and meditation

Summary:

Psychological time is invented by thought.

What is your daily life?

If you are the rest of mankind then what is your responsibility to man and to what is happening in the world?

When you say you want to be born next life, that you believe in reincarnation, what is it that is going to be reborn? What are you?

What is death?

You are a vast reservoir of memories, words, pictures and symbols. Your consciousness is the rest of mankind. You are not an individual. What does death mean then?

Can you, while living, end your attachment, end a particular habit voluntarily, easily, quietly? Where there is an ending, there is a totally different beginning.

What is a religious life?

Meditation is not the practise of any system. When you practise a system your brain becomes atrophied and dull, not alive and active.

What does it mean to be aware? What does it mean to concentrate? What does it mean to attend? All this is implied in meditation.

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]
