J. Krishnamurti - Saanen 1978 - Public Talk 1 - The structure of self-centred concern

Saanen 1978 - Public Talk 1 - The structure of self-centred concern

Summary:

Why are most human beings throughout the world so concerned with themselves?

When you listen to these statements of the speaker, do you actually listen or do you make a conclusion or an idea about what you hear?

Can you observe the movement of ordinary, natural sensations without identifying?

Is there an observation of the senses without any form of thought?

Can you be free of pressure?

Where there is a centre held by thought as the ‘me’ there must be suffering. Violence, brutality, cruelty and hate is centred there.

    I am eternally grateful for these uploads, thank you channel maintainers for keeping the contents original & available.
  • I was fortunate to be there in Saanen in 1978 and was suprisingly able to listen to Krishnamurti very carefully. 40 odd years ago I was a 26 years old man looking for the meaning of (my) life.
  • @garysethi1227
    Absolutely brilliant. So many gems, one must listen multiple times to absorb it
  • When you look, thought is looking. Wow. Enough said. Thank you as always.

    The self is all that there ever is, ever will be, and shall never be again. The self shall never be, never is, and never was anything more than the shared concern of us all.

  • I realize that I have an attachment to my property and that the negative response that I would express if something were to happen to my property is an unnecessary wastage of energy
  • @kevziro
    If the observer is the observed, doesn’t that mean that we are mind and body? But without identification we are not body or mind, so which is it?
