Krishnamurti on Being and Becoming

‘As you observe with attentive passion, that very attention puts an end to becoming, which is of time and thought.’

This week’s episode on Being and Becoming has four sections.

The first extract (2:42) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Saanen 1983, titled: Most of Us Want To Become Something.

The third extract (31:04) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in San Francisco 1984, titled: Attention Puts an End To Becoming.

The final extract in this episode (50:19) is from the sixth talk in Madras 1982, titled: In Meditation There Is No Becoming or Being.
