Is It Possible to Be Free of Disdain?

‘I hope to be; I hope to become; I hope to achieve; I hope to fulfil; I hope to reach heaven, enlightenment. All this psychologically demands time.’

This week’s episode on Hope has four sections.

This first extract (2:47) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Ojai 1973, titled ‘Is hope a reaction to despair?’

The second extract (14:36) is from the first question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1981, titled ‘We hope somebody will cure us’.

The third extract (37:43) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Ojai 1983, titled ‘Hope implies time’.

The final extract (50:36) in this episode is from the fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1978, titled ‘Can time and hope come to an end?’

Season three of the Krishnamurti podcast continues with the format of carefully chosen extracts from the philosopher’s talks. Each weekly episode focuses on a theme explored by Krishnamurti and the aim is to represent his different approaches to these universal topics.
