Krishnamurti on Resistance

‘There is an action in which there is no resistance, no interference of the past, no response of the 'me'. That action is not in the field of time; it is instantaneous and therefore complete.’

This week’s episode on Resistance has three sections.

The first extract (2:47) is from Krishnamurti’s eighth talk in New Delhi 1962, titled: Our Lives Are Built on Resistance.

The second extract (23:32) is from the first talk in Madras 1969, titled: We Seek Security Through Resistance.

The final extract in this episode (52:37) is Krishnamurti’s sixth talk in Saanen 1971, titled: To Live in This World Without Resistance.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Resistance. Upcoming themes are Humility, Seeking and Reactions.
