100 • Madras 1979/80 (2/7) • Talk 2: Thought Has Put Together the Whole Structure of the ‘Me’

Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million Years Madras 1979/80, Public Meetings 2/7: Thought Has Put Together the Whole Structure of the ‘Me’ Our minds are the result of a thousand experiences and man has been searching for an eternity. Immortality is merely the continuity of one’s own ignorance. We are questioning the cultivation through the centuries this idea of the self, the ‘me’ that must evolve through time, many births, or be saved by a saviour. We must inquire into what has created the ‘me’, the self. Reality is everything that thought has created. Nature is not created by thought. Truth has nothing whatsoever to do with thought. Can thought dissolve the structure which it has created as the ‘me’? Your approach dictates the resolution of a problem. If you approach it with any motive or try to escape, the problem will always remain. All society is based on human relationship. Because human beings are immoral, our society is immoral. We are corrupt beyond measure so we create a society that is utterly corruptible. Intelligence and love go together. Without love we cannot have intelligence. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
