The crisis is not in the economic world nor in the political world, but in our consciousness.  We have been trained, educated, religiously as well as scholastically, that we are separate souls, individuals, striving for ourselves, but that is an illusion because our consciousness is common to all mankind. We are mankind. We are not separate individuals fighting for ourselves.   Why have human beings, who have lived for over a million years, not solved this problem of relationship?   The thought is born of experience, knowledge and so there is nothing whatsoever sacred about thought. It is materialistic, it is a process of matter, thinking.   Knowledge always lives within the shadow of ignorance.  What is the relationship between desire and will?   Psychologically, inwardly, what is the root of fear?   Meditation must begin with bringing about complete order in your house; order in your relationship, the order in one's desires, pleasure, and so on.  Compassion is freedom from sorrow.


For those drawn to the profound and often challenging inquiries into the nature of the mind, freedom, and truth, J. Krishnamurti-Teachings offers a direct encounter with one of the most original thinkers of the 20th century. This podcast, curated by the Krishnamurti Commune, presents a comprehensive archive of his talks and dialogues, preserved and shared by a follower based in India. Here, you will hear Krishnamurti’s own voice-uncompromising and clear-as he delves into the fundamental questions of human existence, dissecting the structures of thought, fear, and conditioning that shape our lives. The episodes are not lectures in a traditional sense but are living explorations, inviting a deep, personal observation of oneself and the world. Listening feels like being in the room as he engages with audiences, challenging every form of authority, including his own, to uncover a sense of clarity and peace that is not dependent on belief or system. This collection serves as an essential resource for anyone on a spiritual or philosophical journey, providing timeless material for reflection and serious study. The J. Krishnamurti-Teachings podcast is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in these transformative dialogues, made freely available for all who seek to understand.
