Krishnamurti on Contradiction

‘If there is no becoming, no attempting to be something, then there is no sense of fear. Then there is no contradiction, no lie in us at any level, consciously or unconsciously.’ This week’s episode on Contradiction has three sections. The first extract (2:46) is from Krishnamurti’s thirteenth talk in Ojai 1949, titled: Why Is There Contradiction in Ourselves?

The final extract in this episode (1:00:28) is from a direct recording by Krishnamurti in Ojai 1984, titled: Contradiction Between the Outer and the Inner. This recording is previously unreleased.
