Krishnamurti: When You Observe ‘What Is’, There Is No Conflict Madras 1981/82, Public Meetings 2/8: Why Have We Become Habituated To Conflict? Why have human beings not solved the problem of conflict with each other and in themselves? When we do not accept what actually is but escape to an ideal, the opposite of ‘what is’, then conflict is inevitable. Non-violence is non-fact, not a reality but a projection of thought to escape, or to accept violence and pretend that we are becoming non-violent. Can you look at your wife or your husband without the memory of the past? It is possible to live without conflict. When you observe ‘what is’, there is no conflict. Goodness means to be holistic, to be whole, not fragmented. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
