Krishnamurti: The Seed of a Million Years Madras 1979/80, Public Meetings 7/7: Sorrow, Death and Meditation How do you approach any problem, physical or psychological? What is the relationship between sorrow and passion? Sorrow indicates a state of mind in which there is pain, grief, tears, a sense of immense loneliness and isolation. Without passion you can never be free or creative. Why are we excluding death from living? Examining your own life, what is your life? When you realise the fact that you are the rest of mankind, what is death? To a man whose mind is the universe of humanity there is no death. Whatever he is doing, he is ending, never carrying. Why is it important to meditate? There must be somewhere something that is not perishable, that is incorruptible, timeless, eternal. That seed has been sown in man from time immemorial. Can we end psychological registering? Meditation can never be conscious, can never be thought out, premeditated. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
