‘When you seek, you are seeking something away from the actual fact, towards something that will give you greater pleasure. One seeks because one is dissatisfied with the normal, shallow, narrow, cunning existence.’

This week’s episode on Seeking has three sections.

The first extract (2:47) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Madras 1967, titled: What Are You Seeking?

The second extract (44:14) is from the sixth talk in New York 1966, titled: There Must Be an End To Seeking.

The final extract in this episode (1:08:35) is from Krishnamurti’s sixth talk in New Delhi 1962, titled: A Mind No Longer Seeking.

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

This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to the Krishnamurti Retreat Centre. Situated in the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park, the Krishnamurti Centre offers individual and group retreats for those wishing to inquire into themselves in light of Krishnamurti’s teachings. The events programme for 2023 now includes two further Young Adults Retreats, in September and November, for those under 35. We have lowered our rates for this retreat, and further concessions are available. All other events at the Centre have no upper age limit. Please visit krishnamurticentre.org.uk for more information.
