Krishnamurti: Effort To Be Intelligent Is Not Intelligent
Ojai 1966, Public Meetings
2/9: Learning Is in the Active Present

Where are human beings heading?

One has to meet this immense challenge with the understanding of the whole of the human world.

To understand, there must be discipline.

I am always learning, always in the present. This active learning ceases when it becomes, ‘I have learnt.’

To me, there is no unconscious.

Learning demands awareness of the machinery of thought and feeling, without choice. 

Is there actual significance to living?


Questions from the audience followed the talk.

The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week.

Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’
