His talks and dialogues have been compiled and published in more than fifty books and translated into as many different languages. He engaged in dialogues with religious leaders, scientists, professors, authors, psychologists, computer experts, and people from many different backgrounds deeply questioning their daily life. From 1929 until his death in 1986 he traveled all over the world speaking spontaneously to large audiences. He spoke about the problems of living in modern society with its violence and corruption, of the individual's search for security and happiness, and the need for mankind to free itself from inner burdens of fear, anger, hurt, and sorrow. However, he did not expound any philosophy or religion. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) is regarded as one of the foremost thinkers and religious teachers of all time. I maintain that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by. (hosted by Michael Toms) This is the second of two dialogues with Krihshnamurti. Jiddu Krishnamurti was an Indian philosopher, speaker and writer. A priceless visit with an illumined mind. Additionally, Krishnamurti has much to say about the source of our problems, both personal and planetary, with appropriate comments on how to resolve inner conflict. Here he addresses love, greed, violence, separation, time, death, conflict, and fear, discussing them all with a clarity and insight that makes the entire landscape appear newly visible and replete with possibilities. This extraordinary conversation is no exception. Who but yourself can tell whether you are beautiful or ugly within.” Krishnamurti wrote and lectured for seven decades on the essential problems of the human condition. You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what your spiritual state is-how childish. Krishnamurti was heralded as a vehicle for leading humanity into a new age, he repudiated the notion saying, “Truth is a pathless land, you can’t approach it by any religion or sect. He set up seven schools in India and abroad to educate generations of children with as little conditioning as possible.When the late J. Krishnamurti emphasised that total awareness, continuous and at all times, can dissolve the conditioning. This is true of boredom, hate, anger, or for that matter joy and all other pleasant but equally conditioned emotions that turn us into 'second hand' humans. "Suddenly I will discover that a transformation has taken place in myself." It is no longer envy. If we just observe envy in a dispassionate way, with a receptive mind, without judgement, we'll find there is no conflict and envy is apprehended from an entirely new angle. This behaviour creates a conflict between what we are and what we want to be. The core of Krishnamurtis teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said Truth is a pathless land. I must not submit to my weakness but I should not indulge in the opposite of my weakness either, as a way of getting rid of it…"Īre you bored or envious? We act to avoid such emotions. ![]() I am not advocating self-indulgence, that a thief remains a thief. Now I must see myself as I am and make no effort to be anything else. "We must accept change in others and be willing to change ourselves." We must feel this change continually. We must not regard any of our relationships from a fixed standpoint, he argued. Krishnamurti's overriding concern thereafter was freedom from conditioning occasioned by thought generating inappropriately rigid beliefs and emotions. In 1929, at a meeting of the Order of The Star of the East set up to herald the coming of the World Teacher, Krishnamurti dissolved the Order, severing his links with the Theosophical Society, proclaiming: "Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect…" Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was chosen as a child by the Theosophical Society to be groomed as the World Teacher, 'destined' to guide humankind. ![]()
