Krishnamurti: In Complete Silence of the Mind Is Love
Saanen 1968, Public Meetings
3/17: Freedom, Systems and Conditioning

Is it at all possible for man to be free?

Why do you want a system? Systems are tradition, discipline, habits, a groove which the mind follows.

Can a mind that is certain about anything psychologically ever be free?

Duality and conflict are in essence a complete waste of energy.

When the mind is seeking certainty it must inevitably create opposites.

Why does the mind hold on to formulas and systems; why can’t it live freely?

Can the mind uncondition itself?

Is the observer separate from the thing it observes?

Am I different from the thing I want to get rid of?

What happens when the mind sees there is only a conditioned state?

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.’
