Urgency of Change • The Krishnamurti Podcast
Society & Culture:Philosophy
This conversation between Krishnamurti and Alain Naude was recorded in Malibu, California, in 1972. Subjects include:
Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion?
Is a religious life to lead a good life?
A religious life is a life in which the self is not.
We get caught in the so-called mysterious. But when the self is not, there is a greater, vaster mystery.
Self-knowing is much more important than acquiring some kind of power.
What place has meditation in religious life?
Meditation is not control or a practice, it is not an effort to achieve an experience or to remain in a particular state of consciousness.
If the self is, the religious life is not. Can one dissolve the self?
Why are certain human beings entrenched in the myth of Jesus or Krishna?
Attachment destroys freedom.
Where there is freedom there is joy. It is that quality of mind that has this sense of joy and freedom that perceives.
Meditation means freedom and joy to observe, without any attachment or partial perception.
Alain Naude was Krishnamurti’s private secretary in the 1960s. He met Krishnamurti in 1963 whilst a music lecturer and concert pianist. He gave up his teaching and performing in 1964 to work with Krishnamurti. Fluent in several languages, he was very helpful at international gatherings and in attracting younger audiences to Krishnamurti’s talks, at a time of cultural change in the West.
