J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1981 - Public Talk 3 - Knowledge, sorrow, death, and to be free of the content of consciousness

Summary:

Any action born of knowledge must be incomplete, and from that incompleteness all our problems arise.

Is knowledge suffering, and when there is suffering is it at all possible to have love?

Can we stop the whole movement of escape?

The very word 'sorrow' colours the fact of sorrow, the pain of it.

I have collected so much this life, so many pictures, furniture, land. I have cultivated my brain through education, through study, through experience and travelled a great deal. If I die, what is the point of it all?

Consciousness is common to all of us. It is not mine or yours, it is common ground, on which humanity stands.

If you let the whole content be wiped away by insight you have contributed to consciousness an enormous amount. You have brought a totally new dimension into consciousness. And what you have brought is so colossally important because you have brought real freedom from sorrow to man.

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 digital@kfoundation.org
