Krishnamurti on Following

‘The easiest thing for the mind, which is generally very lazy, is to follow what somebody else has said.’This week’s episode on Following has two sections. The first extract (2:25) is from the first question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1981, titled: Why do we follow? The second and final extract in this episode (43:39) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Saanen 1970, titled: Following means we are second-hand human beings. Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully selected clips from the archives. The aim is to represent different aspects of Krishnamurti’s radical approach to many of the issues and questions we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Following. Upcoming themes are Thinking Together, The Unconscious and Rationality. This is a podcast from Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
