"The pursuit of non-violence is a wastage of energy. Whereas to understand the nature of violence, go into it deeply, see the complexity of violence and see if it's possible to end it, that's not the wastage of energy." That's GOLD 🙏🏼

The most beautiful thing ever happened including my birth is when i started to listen Jidhu Krishnamurti

[@hareshbaraiya597]

I think so

[@zhizhi9138]

Discovering Krishnamurti is a rebirth.

[@osmiimusic]

From the point of view of Buddhism, birth is already suffering :)

[@aryanbishn01]

How birth is beautiful it's better not to be born

[@pristine6889]

So very grateful and humbled that I found this..... Thank you so much J. Krishnamurti and K foundation

[@silverwhitesand2094]

Krisnamurti. Always inquiring to the roads to freedom, love, compassion. Such a source of light. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@gnanasughana1902]

What do we do with the energy we conserve? JK exactly knows the question that would arise in the mind of the listener. Such a compassion clever man ❤❤

[@akhilreddy6914]

It is of no use, if we are not applying his teaching in our daily life even it how big, great, auspicious, whatsoever the magical words that you define to his teachings.

[@jkm8049]

The greatest thing one can offer to K is to become complete...

[@pksingh4871]

Wow

[@lethehuy5569]

The total freedom is the freedom from the mind which is free from conditioning, bias, prejudice, judgement..

[@Anton680x]

Experts may be knowledgeable.. the question of intelligence being present there is less clear although it may be present. I think it is important for each person to exercise intelligence, not my intelligence or your intelligence.. but intelligence itself. This sounds logical and reasonable.

Sin palabras. Gracias k. 🌻💙.

When someone summarizes the talk and I can just go look in the comments to get an idea of what is said.

The very thing that wants to get better , is part of the problem .

[@bollywoodamateurhour]

7:45 Here we are 20 years later -- we've doubled down on the insanity and neuroticism.

[@Liam-ke2hv]

Society and those in power want it to be this way, we're sabotaged from all angles. Krishnamurti said himself that society doesn't want man to be free.

[@krox477]

Sadly true

[@azarm3060]

His talks are confusing for me

[@cyprusfootballplayers-cfpm7021]

yes at the beginning that is normal,i have gone through that as well.
That is because the brain is used to a certain pattern, and it takes chronological time, NOT psychological time(observing is NOW)
for it to even understand verbally what he means, our brains are conditioned thats why it is sooo difficult, at first i was like wtf is he talking about?
So go into it have patience and really listen!

[@creamstein]

Try reading his words first. That might familiarize you in a way you better grasp.

[@i2sketch]

I understand and can relate, initially it is. I have been studying and applying his teachings for a long time. I must tell you, a lot of what he says is almost impossible to apply in daily life. Its good and brilliant intellectually. To K fans, a lot of his teaching is around observing without observer or being attentive. Experiment being attentive for a week! The ego strains when it tries to be attentive...be careful and use what you understand.

[@kevincastelino3338]

Unless we peel off layers and layers of conditioning by tradition, society, media and above all religion the brain will never see K. Light.

[@sujathatetali3113]

I feel very much excited and feel that I understood when I listen to his talks. But in reality, I am getting confused to apply. May be requires more and more listening.
