Krishnamurti on Thought

‘If thought is the cause of this chaos, thought can end and something totally new can begin.’ This week’s podcast has seven sections. The first extract (2:09) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk at Brockwood Park in 1984, titled ‘What is thinking?’ The second extract (9:06) is from the second talk in Madras 1979, titled ‘Thought is limited’. The third extract (23:48) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Saanen 1980, titled ‘Is thought the cause of chaos?’ The fourth extract (33:16) is from the first question and answer meeting in Bombay 1984, titled ‘You are thought’. The fifth extract (43:26) is from Krishnamurti’s second question and answer meeting at Brockwood Park in 1979, titled ‘Can thought be aware of itself as it arises?’ The sixth extract (50:00) is from the seventh talk in Saanen 1971, titled ‘Can thought be completely silent?’ The final extract (1:24:40) this week is from the sixth talk at Rajghat in 1962, titled ‘Letting every thought flower in freedom’. Each weekly episode in this season of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a major theme of the philosopher’s talks, such as freedom, self-knowledge, beauty, intelligence and meditation. Extracts from our archives have been carefully selected to represent Krishnamurti’s different approaches to each of these universal and timelessly relevant themes.
