‘Social problems, economic problems, mechanical problems, computer problems, and our own problems in our daily life, in our relationships - why do we have problems at all? Is it necessary to have problems?’

This week’s episode on Problems has four sections.

The first extract (2:34) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Bombay 1983, titled ‘What is a problem?’

The second extract (20:21) is from the first talk at Brockwood Park in 1985, titled ‘A brain free to solve problems’.

The third extract (42:34) is from Krishnamurti’s fifth talk in Saanen 1965, titled ‘Dealing with problems immediately.’

The final extract (1:06:19) in this episode is from the fifth talk in Ojai 1949, titled ‘Letting a problem tell its story’.

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.
