‘Is there psychological progress – the 'me' becoming better, nobler, wiser? The 'me' which is the past, which has accumulated so many things – insults, flatteries, pain, knowledge, suffering – can that progress to a better state?’

This week’s episode on Progress has five sections.

The first extract (2:49) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Saanen 1973, and is titled: Are Human Beings Progressing?

The second extract (6:48) is from the first talk in Santa Monica 1974, and is titled: Where Do We Think We Are Progressing To?

The third extract (17:45) is from the first question and answer meeting in Madras 1981, and is titled: Can There Be Progress Without Conflict or Struggle?

The fourth extract (33:55) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Bombay 1983, and is titled: There Is No Such Thing As Psychological Progress.

The final extract in this episode (45:37) is from the fourth talk in San Francisco 1973, and is titled: Progress in Meditation.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully chosen extracts from the archives. The aim is to represent different aspects of Krishnamurti’s radical approach to many of the issues and questions we all face in our lives.

Upcoming themes are Cooperation, Fragmentation and Symbols.
