The Pursuit of Pleasure

‘At the moment of perception there is no pleasure. There is only perception.’

This week’s episode on Pleasure has five sections.

The first extract (2:23) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Saanen 1973, titled ‘Is pleasure the meaning of life?’

The second extract (21:32) is from the second talk at Brockwood Park 1976, titled ‘Continuance of pleasure’.

The third extract (31:58) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Saanen 1975, titled ‘Thought pursues pleasure.’

The final extract (58:42) this in this episode is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Saanen 1970, titled ‘A life of ecstasy in which pleasure doesn’t enter’.

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