J. Krishnamurti - Claremont 1968 - Conversation with Huston Smith - Authority is destructive

Summary:

Sanity is order. This order comes about naturally, without any effort, if we understand disorder.

Action can only take place when you see actually the nature of disorder in one's own life, which is causing such havoc. What you are, you project in the world.

Observation through an image is a wastage of energy, and you need energy to change 'what is'.

How is one to live a life that is completely orderly, without any contradiction?

Order doesn't exist within the field of consciousness.

You can only look completely if your mind is quiet.

Is there something which is not put together by the mind, by thought, by imagination? Is there something which is not measurable, which man has been seeking for thousands and thousands of years?

Q: If I am free of fear and my mind is quiet, would I be looking for anything?

What is the machinery that forms the image?

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]
