Krishnamurti on The Scientific Mind and the Religious Mind

‘The really scientific mind and the really religious mind are the only two minds that can exist now, not the superstitious, believing, temple-going, church-worshipping mind.’

This episode on The Scientific Mind and the Religious Mind has two sections.

The first extract (2:47) is from Krishnamurti’s eleventh talk in London 1961, and is titled: The Scientific and Religious Spirit.

The second and final extract in this episode (53:01) is from the eighth talk in Madras 1961, and is titled: The Only Two Minds That Can Now Exist.

Each fortnightly episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is based on a significant theme of Krishnamurti’s talks. Extracts from the archives have been selected to represent his different approaches to these universal and timelessly relevant themes. This episode’s theme is The Scientific Mind and the Religious Mind. Upcoming themes are Organisations, The Heart, and Awakening.
