The Conflict of the Mind and the Self

This week’s podcast has six sections. The first extract (2m 10s) is from Krishnamurti’s first question and answer meeting in Saanen 1980, titled ‘What is self-knowledge?’

The second extract (9m 42s) is from the fifth discussion in Saanen 1977, titled ‘Observing oneself in relationship’.

The third extract (22:38) is from the third talk at Brockwood Park in 1970, titled ‘We look at ourselves with knowledge’.

The fourth extract (37:56) is from the third question and answer meeting in Saanen 1981, titled ‘Reading the book of oneself’.

The fifth extract (45:40) is from the sixth talk in Ojai 1949, titled ‘Without self-knowledge there can be no meditation’.

The final extract this week (54:22) is from the third question and answer meeting in Ojai 1982, titled ‘Because we don’t know ourselves, we destroy’.

Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of his talks, such as freedom, authority, beauty and meditation. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
