Friends, It seems rather a pity that on a fair morning like this we should talk about the various oppressions and cruelty that we every day support, and the various exploitations that are taking place consciously or unconsciously about us; and yet we smile through them all and try to endure them, leading a rather… [Read more…]
Obras Completas de J. Krishnamurti – Vol. II Para mí, es tan absurdo ser teísta como ser ateo. Si usted supiera qué es la verdad, qué es Dios, jamás sería ni teísta ni ateo, porque en ese estado de percepción alerta la creencia es innecesaria. Sólo el hombre que no percibe abriga esperanzas y suposiciones,… [Read more…]
Obras Completas de J. Krishnamurti – Vol. II ¿Qué está pasando en el mundo? Ustedes tienen un Dios cristiano, o tienen dioses hindúes; y están los mahometanos con su idea particular de Dios; cada pequeña secta tiene su verdad peculiar. Y todas estas verdades se están volviendo como otras tantas enfermedades en el mundo, enfermedades… [Read more…]

I do not belong to any sect or party or to any particular religion, for religion is a distinct hindrance to man’s fulfilment. Nor do I… [Read more…]
Question: What have you to say about the treatment of criminals? Krishnamurti: Now it all depends upon whom you call a criminal. A pathological person is not a criminal, and it is folly to put him in a prison. He needs medical attention and care. A person who deliberately steals is generally called a… [Read more…]
Friends, I want to talk briefly this afternoon about action and fulfilment. We realize the frustration and limitation which appear through our action. By one act we seem to create many problems, and our life becomes one endless series of them, with their conflict and misery. The mind in its movement seems to increase its… [Read more…]
Friends, Before I enter into the subject of my talk, I should like to say that I belong to no organization, and that I have come to Chile at the invitation of some kind friends.
