Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million Years Madras 1979/80, Public Meetings 6/7: Why Does the Mind Live in Concepts? Can the human mind be free of concepts? Is the making of concept an escape from action? Can you listen and not make a concept but apply? Is fear the word ‘fear’? Integrity means saying things that you actually mean. Time will not solve fear but will complicate the issue. When you listen completely there is no movement of thought but merely observation. The mind seeking pleasure is invariably attached to the action that brings pleasure. Is there time at all psychologically? Can the brain free itself from its tradition without time? When there is a clear, total sensory response there is no centre from which you are observing. Pleasure like fear is the movement of time. If there is any form of attachment there is no love. How will you have this flower, the great beauty of love? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships.

For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’ Established by Krishnamurti in 1968, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charity based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre and Brockwood Park School.
